This Registration Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
100,000 shares of Sprint Common Stock ("Sprint Common Stock") issuable to
Outside Directors under Sprint's Long-Term Stock Incentive Program. 1,362 shares
were issued before the reclassification of Sprint Common Stock into FON Common
Stock and PCS Common Stock in November 1998, leaving 98,638 shares. The
remaining 98,638 shares were reclassified into 98,638 shares of FON Common Stock
and 49,319 shares of PCS Common stock. 992 shares of FON Common Stock were
issued before the two-for-one split of the FON Common Stock in the 1999 second
quarter, leaving 97,646 shares of FON Common Stock. The two-for-one split of the
FON Common Stock increased the number of shares of FON Common Stock under the
registration statement to 195,292 shares of FON Common Stock. 720 shares of PCS
Common Stock were issued before the two-for-one split of the PCS Common Stock in
the 2000 first quarter, leaving 48,599 shares of PCS Common Stock. The two-for-
one split of the PCS Common Stock increased the number of shares of PCS Common
Stock under the Registration Statement to 97,198 shares of PCS Common Stock.
On February 28, 2004, Sprint's board of directors approved the
recombination of the PCS Common Stock and the FON Common Stock, effective on
April 23, 2004 (the "Conversion Date"). 91,370 of the remaining 97,198 shares of
PCS Common Stock were issued before the Conversion Date, leaving 5,828 shares of
PCS Common Stock. Following the recombination of the PCS Common Stock and the
FON Common Stock, no shares of PCS Common Stock may be issued. Accordingly, the
purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 is to deregister the remaining
5,828 shares of PCS Common Stock covered by this Registration Statement.
