Sprint reps unaware of free calls to Japan :?

Just got done speaking with international customer support at Sprint. They are unaware of any such offer for free calls to Sprint. However, this "Crystal Davis" is a real employee as I located a document on the Sprint website with her name listed as the contact -- http://sprint.tekgroupweb.com/article_display .cfm?article_id=1817#__highlight&id16=japan

I can only assume that she has not had the time to write up the "official" document and or Sprint has yet to create the discounting codes required to make all the calls free. I have since sent an email to Crystal and will post an update once I receive contact from her, or a Sprint International representative confirming these details.
