                  Announcing Direct Registration System ("DRS")

Sprint is now  offering  its  shareholders  the ability to hold their  shares of
Sprint common stock electronically on the books of its transfer agent, UMB Bank,
n.a., through DRS.

Sprint's Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") is separate from DRS.
Any cash  dividends  declared on shares held in DRS will be paid to you and will
not automatically be reinvested in Sprint common stock.

If you no longer desire to reinvest  dividends on any or all of your shares held
in book entry form in the Plan,  you may move those shFares from the Plan to the
DRS account.  You can also send in your certificate(s) to be held electronically
in DRS. However, when you deposit your shares in DRS, you eliminate your ability
to reinvest automatically any dividends on those shares.

If you hold certificated shares and wish to hold those shares in electronic form
but also wish to reinvest dividends on those shares, yFou can still deposit your
shares with UMB Bank,  n.a.,  the agent for the Plan, to be held in your account
in the Plan.  Beginning July 1, 2005, Sprint will no longer charge the $7.50 fee
for depositing shares for safekeeping in the Plan.

There  is  no  action   required  by  you  unless  you  wish  to  send  in  your
certificate(s) to be held electronically in DRS or wish to move shares from your
Plan  account.  For more  information  about DRS or how to have your shares held
electronically, please read the enclosed brochure.

If you have any  questions,  please  contact UMB Bank,  n.a. at  1-800-259-3755,
press option 5.

Please keep this notice with your copy of the  Automatic  Dividend  Reinvestment
Plan prospectus, which together constitute the prospectus. If you desire another
copy of the original prospectus, please call UMB Bank, n.a. at the number above.
