So far I’ve only found one report of this but I can’t imagine why someone would lie about a service few people use. This person say’s they received a letter from Sprint regretting to inform them of the death of Readylink.

You may remember that ReadyLink is was the walkie-talkie service Sprint developed back when it seemed walkie-talkie services might be the next big thing. That was right about the same time unlimited mobile to mobile minute plans became standard and Sprint bought Nextel. Sprint hasn’t sold a ReadyLink phone in quite some time so this news isn’t all that relevant — unless of course you happen to still have one of those phones. The alternative is QChat which is Sprint’s better walkie talkie but still obsolete for all but the bulldozer and crane operating set.
