This Registration Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
288,396 shares of Sprint Common Stock ("Sprint Common Stock") issuable under the
Centel Director Stock Option Plan. In connection with the spin-off of Sprint's
cellular division in March 1996, the number of shares covered by the
Registration Statement was increased to 322,919 shares to prevent dilution.
Options for 265,534 shares were exercised before the reclassification of each
share of Sprint Common Stock into one share of FON Common Stock and one-half of
a share of PCS Common Stock, and the conversion of the options into options to
purchase FON Common Stock and PCS Common Stock. Following the reclassification,
no options for shares of FON Common Stock were exercised before the record date
for a two-for-one split of the FON Common Stock in the 1999 second quarter,
leaving all 57,385 shares of FON Common Stock. The two-for-one split of the FON
Common Stock increased the remaining number of shares of FON Common Stock
covered by the Registration Statement to 114,770 shares. Following the
reclassification, options for 5,614 shares of PCS Common Stock were exercised
before the record date for a two-for-one split of the PCS Common Stock in the
2000 first quarter, leaving 23,078 shares of PCS Common Stock. The two-for- one
split of the PCS Common Stock increased the remaining number of shares of PCS
Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement to 46,156 shares.
Following the split of the FON Common Stock, options for 54,886 shares of
FON Common Stock were exercised, and following the split of the PCS Common
Stock, options for 16,218 shares of PCS Common Stock were exercised, leaving
59,884 shares of FON Common Stock and 29,938 shares of PCS Common Stock. No
options are outstanding and no additional options will be granted under the
plan. Therefore, the Registration Statement is amended to deregister the
remaining 59,884 shares of FON Common Stock and 29,938 shares of PCS Common
Stock covered by the Registration Statement.
