Why does Sprint have so many Service Provider Identification Numbers (SPINs)?
A. Initially, the FCC required Sprint to have a different SPIN for each operating company. For example, Kansas had 3 SPINs — one each for KS, Eastern Kansas and South Central Kansas. In FY3, Sprint Local Division announced one SPIN — 143 01 9614. Some customers continue to use the old SPINs, which will work, but our advertised SPIN is 143 01 9614. Both Sprint PCS and Sprint Long Distance have their own SPIN numbers.
