Embarq Cell Phones For Sale

Embarq is a regional phone company that serves costumers from 18 countries, which is a spinoff from Sprint since 2006. The company has over 18,000 workers and ranks No. 3 on the Kansas City Business Journal’s list of area public companies. The company’s activity evolves around selling telecommunication products and services, among which are residential landlines and wireless services. After she split from Sprint in 2006, we can reckon that Embarq company had a greater success than its Sprint partner had since then. However, we may also need to realize that due to the different directions the two companies headed to after the split can later generate another success twist in their evolution on the market.

We also know that landlines became more and more unnecessary since the invasion of cell phones nowadays, used especially for voice communication. However, Embarq is known for its preference to continuously develop the landline communication area, and this might cause their fall behind Sprint. As the key executive from CEO, Dan Hesse always emphasizes, the conclusion that Sprint might raise its success in front of Embarq might represent a mislead for some readers. He recently said that “We would not be in the wireless business just to sell wireless to customers,” he explains. “We are in the business because we think there is an untapped need to have wireless and wireline work together.” Of course, no one really knows the reason why, because he doesn’t point it out.

However, as the records had shown, the carrier, which has about 6.8 million local lines, is losing about 6% each year. More and more people want to give up to the wireline, and get a smart phone. Studies had shown this cell phone orientation will expand more in the next years.

It seems that the double service focus of Embarq, through which it sends voicemail notification to both the landline and cell phone, doesn’t have too much success either. Nevertheless, there are clear signs that the landline services are no more considered to be a good choice for many costumers Embarq has. Once more Dan Hesse has a solution for this problem also, making use of the so called concern that Embarq would have for its customers: “When you come home at the end of the day, we want you to turn off your cell phone”. Even so, clients know better what suits them best, and their option would be to have only one phone to switch off, their cell phone.



Consequently, Embarq believed that at the end of the year 2007 the number of subscribers to their services would exponentially grow. Needless to say they were wrong once again, the total number of clients summing up to 110,000. However, Embarq doesn’t seem to get notice of this reality and says it will continue to serve the wireless clients for one more year, and after that may transition them over to another carrier. What Embarq still want is to continue developing and selling products that combine home and wireless phone service.
