Today's additions boost the number of carriers participating in Sprint's Rural Roaming Preferred Provider program to 27. According to Sprint, the roaming agreements extend across 565,000 square miles in 27 states, covering more than 38 million people. The agreements allow Sprint customers to roam onto the LTE networks of the rural carriers and vice versa.
