NEW YORK & OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global music and entertainment platform TIDAL
and Sprint
(NYSE:S) are rewarding Sprint customers with an all-access pass to
TIDAL’s global music and entertainment platform. Beginning June 9, new
and existing customers can get six months of TIDAL
HiFi for no charge.
TIDAL HiFi will provide customers the opportunity to access TIDAL’s
artist-driven, exclusive content, livestreams, music videos, ticket
giveaways and unique fan experiences. Members will have first access to
a variety of unrivaled exclusive content from the world’s biggest stars.
Previous exclusives have included content from Calvin Harris, Rihanna,
Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj.
“We recognize that music streaming is one of the most important services
for consumers,” said Marcelo Claure, Sprint president and CEO. “More
than two-thirds of mobile subscribers stream music an average of 45
minutes per day, making our partnership with TIDAL a natural fit for
Sprint and our commitment to offering innovative, affordable and
worry-free service. We’re providing our customers and anyone who signs
up for Sprint a complimentary six-month trial of TIDAL HiFi so they can
experience all the unique and exclusive content TIDAL has to offer.”
On June 9, existing Sprint customers may visit sprint.com
for information on how to add TIDAL HiFi, or they can visit a local
Sprint store. After six months, Sprint customers can pay $9.99 per month
for TIDAL Premium.1 Only Sprint customers can stream the
TIDAL content they want, at an unbeatable price, on an award-winning,
highly reliable network.
Now is the perfect time to switch to Sprint. In addition to receiving a
complimentary six-month trial of TIDAL HiFi, Sprint provides switchers
with a clean slate by covering switching fees up to $650 per line via
prepaid reward card.2 Only Sprint delivers 50 percent off
most national carriers’ rate plans and the best deals on the latest
phones. For a limited time, Sprint offers four lines of fully featured
Unlimited Data, Talk and Text for $22.50 per line and the fifth line is
free!3
In addition, the TIDAL and Sprint partnership will support the 1Million
Project, an initiative from Sprint and the Sprint Foundation that will
connect 1 million low-income U.S. high school students who don’t have
internet access at home, to help level the playing field and eliminate
the “homework gap.” Participating students will receive free mobile
devices and free high-speed wireless internet connectivity while in high
school for up to four years.
Starting June 9, Sprint will donate $2 from every new line activation
with a device purchase or lease – up to $1 million – to support the
1Million Project.4 For more information about Sprint’s
initiative to equip high school students with the tools they need to
succeed, visit sprint.com/1millionproject.
“Education is key to a bright future, and unfortunately not everyone has
access to the tools and resources needed to succeed, including internet
access and mobile devices,” said TIDAL artist-owner, Nicki Minaj. “I’m
so proud to work with Sprint and TIDAL, who are prioritizing programs
like the 1Million Project in order to ensure that a student’s zip code
and family financial situation aren’t roadblocks to a successful future.”
As Sprint and TIDAL continue to deliver an unparalleled entertainment
experience, Sprint customers can expect to enjoy more exclusive content
from their favorite artists during the next few months. Among the highly
anticipated content are special exclusives for Sprint customers and
existing TIDAL members. Music fans are encouraged to sign up now.
Following this year’s announcement that Sprint acquired 33 percent of
TIDAL as a result of a game-changing partnership, the platforms have
collaborated on unique opportunities such as the pop-concert series with
the renowned “King Of Bachata,” Romeo Santos.
