Just in time for the holiday season, service personnel now can create and send customized messages or a single message to all friends and family at the same time. With the Sprint Messenger one-to-many messaging service, active duty, retired or reserve personnel can create a voice or email message and have it sent to a distribution list of people on virtually any communications device including phone, fax, email, pager, PDA or instant messenger.

Military personnel can sign up for Sprint Messenger by going to www.sprintmessenger.com/military. A special offer for the holiday season, Sprint is providing a complimentary 60-day trial of the service for individual service personnel who sign up for service by Jan. 15, 2005. Simply enter "SM60" as the promotional code when registering. After the 60-day trial, the monthly cost varies depending on the amount of usage and begins at $4.70 a month.

"Providing a variety of communications for military service personnel is important, especially with many personnel deployed overseas during this holiday season," said Tony D'Agata, vice president and general manager -- Sprint Government Systems Division. "We're pleased to provide Sprint Messenger so individual military service personnel can keep in touch with family and friends. Offering this service, particularly with the 60-day trial, is another example of our unwavering support of the military."

Mark Carlin, vice president of business development at TeleMessage, added, "The service is a big time saver. If I am getting ready to ship out and I want to tell my mother, brother, aunt and uncle that I am fine and leaving on tour, I can do it with one message to all of them at the same time. This service gets used when email just is not enough, when the message is urgent or time is short."

The service has been offered by Sprint for over a year to many other government and commercial agencies.
