Explanation of Responses:

1. Pursuant to a reclassification exempt under Rule 16b-7, on April 23, 2004, each share of Issuer's PCS common stock and each derivative or right in respect of a share of Issuer's PCS common stock was reclassified into 1/2 share of Issuer's FON common stock or a derivative or right in respect of 1/2 share of Issuer's FON common stock.

2. Shares issued under Section 11 of Sprint's 1997 Long-term Stock Incentive Program. Section 11 permits non-employee directors of Sprint to elect to purchase shares of Sprint PCS common stock in lieu of receiving all or part of their annual retainer, meeting fees, and committee meeting fees in cash.

3. Share units are issued under the Issuer's Directors' Deferred Fee Plan (the "Plan") and are convertible into an amount of cash equal to the value of the Issuer's PCS common stock upon the reporting person's retirement, death, or termination of office in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
