Uber Cuts Promotional Deal With Sprint
Posted in: Uncategorized
Uber, the Silicon Valley darling with a penchant for PR disasters, is burrowing deeper into our lives.
On Wednesday, the cab-hailing app signed a deal to come pre-installed on all new Android phones offered from Sprint. With its deal, Sprint is also offering users new to Uber a $20 ride discount, part of the carrier’s recent bid to grow its thinning customer base.
It comes on the heels of a terrible week for Uber, which jettisoned a mind-boggling $40 billion valuation and found itself banned in cities around the world. New Delhi, India moved to ban the mobile-app after a woman was raped by an Uber driver. Additional bans followed in Spain, Thailand and Portland, Oregon.
