Some Sprint customer said they really annoying. Try to “Force Stop” and “Uninstall” in app setting menu to disable the app that way. It showed way too many permissions for it to access your files and information anyway. It said that all data would be lost if you did, and asked if you wanted to revert back to the old app. After you agree, the app was replaced with the old Sprint Zone app.

Try to get confirmation from Sprint website but not found detail information about this Sprint Carrier Call Utility app. So, for the time being, if you disturbed by this app, try to force stop first.
