     This Registration  Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
12,000,000  shares of FON Common Stock and 8,000,000  shares of PCS Common Stock
issuable under the 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Program.

     On  February  28,   2004,   Sprint's   Board  of  Directors   approved  the
recombination  of the PCS Common  Stock and the FON Common  Stock,  effective on
April 23, 2004 (the "Conversion Date").  Restricted Stock Units for 2,800 shares
of PCS Common Stock vested before the Conversion Date,  leaving 7,997,200 shares
of PCS Common Stock available under this Registration  Statement.  Following the
recombination of the PCS Common Stock and the FON Common Stock, no shares of PCS
Common  Stock may be issued.  Accordingly,  the  purpose of this  Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 is to deregister  the remaining  7,997,200  shares of PCS Common
Stock covered by this Registration Statement.
