The Mountain View company Google announced Tuesday, March 22, an alliance with the third mobile operator in the United States. Sprint and its customers will benefit from Google Voice telephony system via the Internet, allowing in particular for calls made on a phone number to ring simultaneously on multiple lines, home, office or laptop, and even be available on Gmail from Google.

The U.S. group also announced the release of a new version of its "Google phone", the Nexus S, specially adapted for very high speed networks (4G) of Sprint. The alliance comes just after the number two mobile phone in the U.S., AT & T announced the purchase of T-Mobile for $ 39 billion (27 billion euros).

If approved by competition authorities, the transaction will leave Sprint distant third position behind two giants always bigger, AT & T and Verizon Wireless.
