Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.

One of Sprint Nextel Corporation's prepaid brands, Virgin Mobile USA, announced today that it will offer Apple Inc.'s iPhone® without a contract beginning on Friday, June 29.  iPhone 4 on Virgin Mobile will cost $549.99 for the 8GB model, and iPhone 4S will be $649.99 for the 16GB model. Any iPhone devices sold by Virgin Mobile will count toward Sprint's current unit commitment under the existing agreement with Apple. Sprint expects that bringing the iPhone to Virgin Mobile should have no material impact to Adjusted OIBDA in 2012.
