Sprint Now Offering Vanity Phone Numbers Aliases With **Me Service 85
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."

I have Verizon (the service which during a recent trip to Travis Air Force Base really sucked big time), I think Iâ(TM)ll ask for âoeFuckMeRawâ.

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.

I can safely say they will fuck this up and by the way it's sure evidence that Sprint is on the ropes and dying a horrible and inevitable death. I can't WAIT to hear about the thousands of requests they 'lost' or flat out denied or better yet, changed to something else w.o. your knowledge.
Here's my suggestion

I think Sprint missed a real opportunity using "star" instead of "pound".

Why do we not have phones in DNS yet?
Because it stands for Domain Name System. Often pronounced "dee niss" by people who think 3 syllables of "dee inn ess" is too many.
What you are thinking of is a very similar parallel technology, the Phone Number System, or PNS. And I can imagine that "pee inn ess" is too much, so people will pronounce it "pee niss" instead.
