RadioShack will also be responsible for all development, implementation and maintenance for the kiosks, as well as the daily operations, with associates working at the Sprint-branded locations being employed by RadioShack.A complete rollout of the kiosks is scheduled to take place during the next three years, including plans to open 90 kiosks by next spring in Texas, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Washington and California.Sprint said it expects the kiosk program will include an assortment of handsets, smart phones and multimedia devices targeted at the high-end market, as well as Virgin Mobile USA L.L.C.'s prepaid offering targeting the youth and prepaid markets.

Unfortunately, credit card companies offering lower typical APRs (Annual Percentage Rate) tend to have stricter credit check systems and are more likely to reject your application. With the uSwitch.com credit card comparison service you can compare the credit cards available that will accept applications from people with poor credit check results (or credit ratings). This will save you the hassle of having your applications rejected, which can also show up as a bad sign in future credit checks.

"We believe RadioShack's unique retail experience--both in terms of number of stores and sales environment--will ensure a successful rollout of the Sprint Kiosk program."AdvertisementSprint PCS (NYSE: PCS) has been offering wireless services through RadioShack retail locations since 1996 through a store-within-a-store model and has been a significant contributor of Sprint PCS' customer additions with some analysts estimating as many as one-fourth of Sprint PCS gross customer additions coming from RadioShack outlets.
