     This Registration  Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
12,000,000  shares of PCS Common Stock issuable  under the 1988 Employees  Stock
Purchase Plan. As of April 23, 2004, 11,991,627 of these shares had been issued,
leaving 8,373 shares of PCS Common Stock covered by this Registration Statement.

     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").  None of the remaining 8,373 shares of
PCS  Common  Stock  were  issued  before  the  Conversion  Date.  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. 1 is to deregister the remaining  8,373 shares of PCS Common Stock
covered by this Registration Statement.
