Sprint's move to cancel problem accounts is wider than initially thought,
and apparently also aimed at those who may roam too frequently. However,
some are crying foul over these latest moves.

The struggling carrier was exposed last week for attempting to get rid of
accounts that it claimed were calling its customer service lines too
frequently. An undisclosed number of customers were told their service will
be cancelled on July 30.

However, it now appears another group of people are being told their Sprint
service will be dropped on that day -- those who frequently roam outside
the company's own network. About 200 of these happen to be U.S. Army
soldiers, according to a post to SprintUsers.com.
