This Registration Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
250,000 shares of Sprint Common Stock ("Sprint Common Stock") issuable under the
Centel Retirement Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees. 128,535 shares
were issued by Sprint before the reclassification of Sprint Common Stock into
FON Common Stock and PCS Common Stock in November 1998, leaving 121,465 shares.
The remaining 121,465 shares were reclassified into 121,465 shares of FON Common
Stock and 60,732 shares of PCS Common stock. No shares of FON Common Stock were
issued before the two-for-one split of the FON Common Stock in the 1999 second
quarter, leaving all 121,465 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 242,930 shares of FON Common Stock. No shares of
PCS Common Stock were issued before the two-for-one split of the PCS Common
Stock in the 2000 first quarter, leaving 60,732 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 121,464 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. None of the remaining 121,464 shares of PCS Common Stock have
been issued. 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
121,464 shares of PCS Common Stock covered by this Registration Statement.
