There are any number of things that a struggling wireless carrier can do to help cut costs, and shutting down oft-overlooked services is definitely one of the better moves. In that vein, Sprint 
will be shutting down its @sprintpcs.com email service on December 31. So, as of the last day of this year, Sprint will no longer be offering its customers the @sprintpcs.com email address that they most likely never even used.
Sprint has been doing quite well with their turn-around strategies, and we can’t say we’ll miss the @sprintpcs.com email address. Sprint is even providing their customers with instructions to migrate their email accounts to free services from Google and Yahoo – a move that’s in line with the company’s renewed focus on customer service.

Sprint Mobile email will survive the cost-cutting move, so that’s a bit of good news.
