US Sprint Communications has launched a new service, Sprint Express, under which customers can make operator-assisted long-distance calls from foreign locations to the US at significant savings – needless to say starting with the UK: Sprint Express provides a direct connection to US Sprint operators, avoiding the high surcharges billed by hotels for long-distance calling – customers dial a local telephone number in the foreign country, and are connected to a US Sprint operator, who records the information necessary for billing and places the call – but the call has to be credit card or collect.
