Sprint Now Offering Vanity Phone Numbers Aliases With **Me Service

Posted by samzenpus on Monday October 8, 2012 @09:53AM from the 1-800-annoy-me dept.

MojoKid writes "Sprint has announced a new vanity phone number alias service called **Me. In a nutshell, **Me lets you create a custom name that people can use to call you if they don't have your actual number programmed into their phone. For example, if your name is Jerry, you can use **Jerry as your handle. Or perhaps if your nickname is "Mad Dog", you can opt for **MadDog. Monikers must be at least 5 characters in length but no more than 9, not counting the two stars. The service costs $2.99 per month, but there are no additional usage charges beyond your normal Sprint plan. Currently, **Me will only accept calls from Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and other Sprint customers, and doesn't accept text messages yet."

Anyone else read that as "F*** Me"? Better question - did anyone NOT see that?

  That's how I read the names of all US mobile phone plans.
