Sprint PCS Voice Command
With Sprint PCS, the first wireless provider to offer
innovative Voice Command technology, reaching your
friends, family, coworkers and teammates has never been
easier – especially when you’re on the go.
With Sprint PCS Voice Command:
You store all your contacts right in your phone, so you don’t
need to search through or keep a phone book close by.
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers,
memorize voicemail passwords or try to dial while
you’re driving.
You can call anyone at any time – even if you don’t
remember their phone number.
It’s Easy To Start
Just dial from your Sprint PCS Phone to
activate the service. You can also dial (or press
and hold ) to go through a Sprint PCS
Voice Command tutorial directly from your phone.
You can choose Sprint PCS Voice Command as your free
option when you sign up for the Sprint PCS Advantage
AgreementSM or you can add on Sprint PCS
Voice Command for $10 per month in addition to your
normal monthly service plan rate.
Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 300 names into your address book,
with each name having up to seven phone numbers (Home,
Work, Mobile, Pager, Data, Fax and No Label), 1 Email,
1 Web, Ringer and Picture. Totally 500 phone numbers,
300 e-mail addresses and 300 web addresses can be stored –
and with the advanced technology of
Sprint PCS Voice Command – you can have instant access
to all of them.
Tip:
You can also call
Voice Command from
the main menu. See
page 9 for instructions.

32 Making and Answering Calls
There are four ways to update your address book:
Choose Sprint PCS Voice Command and receive a fully
functional web-based address book where you can
create and update your contacts for free at
www.talk.sprintpcs.com.
Upload your contacts from Microsoft® Outlook®,
Microsoft Excel and other personal information software
into your address book for no additional charge.
If you don’t have a computer or Internet access handy,
you can have Sprint PCS Directory Assistance look up
phone numbers for you and automatically add them to
your address book. Just say, “Call operator,” and we’ll
add two names and numbers to your address book for
our standard $0.99 directory assistance charge. Each
additional update added during the call is $0.50.
Simply dial and say, “Add name.” You will
then be asked to say the name and number you want to
add to your personal address book. Your address book
can store up to 20 names at once.
How It Works
1. Once you’ve signed up for Sprint PCS Voice Command
and created your address book, all you do is press
(or press and hold ). You’ll hear a tone
followed by the prompt “Ready.”
2. After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a neutral
voice, the name of the person or the number you’d like
to call. You can say, “Call Jane at work,” “Call John on
his wireless phone,” “Call 555-1234” or “Look up
Bob.”
3. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in mind
that Sprint PCS Voice Command recognizes not only
your voice, but any voice, so others can experience the
same convenience if they use your phone.

Section 15
136 Experiencing Sprint PCS Wireless Web
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web
With the Sprint PCS Wireless Web and your wireless
Internet-ready phone, you have access to many features via
the wireless Internet:
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser allows you
to view specially-designed text versions of popular web
sites.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Mail lets you send and
receive e-mail quickly and easily.
The AOL Instant Messenger Service lets you keep in
touch with family and friends via two-way instant
messaging.
With Sprint PCS Wireless Web Short Mail, you can
use a person’s Sprint PCS Phone Number to send
instant text messages from your Internet-ready
Sprint PCS Phone to their Internet-ready Sprint PCS
Phone – and they can send messages to you.
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection lets you
connect to the Internet or your company's network with
a laptop PC or hand-held computing device and a
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection Kit.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Updates let you receive
daily information updates, including weather, stock
quotes and sports scores.

The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Your phone comes equipped with a MiniBrowser, which
allows you to access up-to-the minute information through
the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed text versions of popular
Internet sites, including Yahoo!®, Amazon.com®, The
Weather Channel®, and more. Browsing the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web using your phone is different than using a
home computer because sites display specialized text and
reduce their graphics.
The MiniBrowser connects to the Internet by placing a call.
Note that appears on the display whenever a call is in
progress, just as with a regular voice call. Service charges
vary depending on your service option.
Setting Web Guard
When you launch the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser, a
message on your display screen reminds you that you are
billed for the airtime.
To set Web Guard:
1. From the Standby mode, press to display the
main menu.
2. Highlight Wireless Web, and press .
3. Highlight Web Guard, and press .
4. Select one of the options.

2. Highlight Wireless Web, and press .
3. Highlight Launch Browser, and press .

and
press
. After a few moments, you are connected to
your Home Page.
The first time you use the MiniBrowser, you'll be prompted
to enable the security feature. This automatic process will
take 3-6 minutes to complete and it occurs just once. When
the process is complete, you're ready to start using the
Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
Following the security setup, you'll see the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Home Page. This is the main page for the
MiniBrowser and it gives you access to all the sites in the
Sprint PCS Wireless Web. The next time you use the
MiniBrowser, you may not see the home page at first
because the MiniBrowser will display the page you were
viewing when you last exited the MiniBrowser.

You may notice that sometimes the MiniBrowser will
launch without placing a call. This is because the phone
stores recently viewed pages in its memory cache. The
MiniBrowser will connect automatically when you access a
page that's not stored in the cache.
If the phone has been inactive for a while and a new
wireless Internet site has not been requested, the
MiniBrowser will automatically disconnect. The
MiniBrowser will remain active – only the connection will
end. The MiniBrowser will automatically reconnect when
you go to a wireless Internet site that's not stored in the
phone's memory cache. For this reason, you may find that
you are billed for several network connections within a
single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize
airtime charges.
When launching the MiniBrowser, you may need to take an
extra step or see a reminder that MiniBrowser calls will be
charged. If you need to take an extra step, see “Web Guard”
on page 137 to disable the setting.

Using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Using the MiniBrowser is easy once you've learned a few
basics. Here are some tips for navigating the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web:

softkeys. These are your main controls for getting around.
To activate a softkey:

Internet sites.
Press the Navigation Key up or down to scroll line by

Setting Up a Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection
Getting Started
Your wireless Internet-ready Sprint PCS Phone allows you
to connect to a laptop PC, hand-held or palm-sized
computing device to send and receive email, access the
Internet or your company’s network and more, without
searching for a wall-mounted telephone jack. In just three
steps, you can use your connectivity:
1. First, you’ll need a Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Connection Kit (sold separately). For purchase
information, see Accessories section on page 153.
2. Connect your laptop PC to your Sprint PCS Phone by
using the serial data cable. The cable adapter will
connect to a hand-held or palm-sized computing
device.
3. Finally, take a few minutes to install the Sprint PCS
DialerSM software onto your computer using your CD.
For complete details on how to install and use this
software, refer to the user guide in the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection Kit you purchased.
Placing a Call
To place a call while you’re connected to the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web:
1. First, make sure the cable is connected properly.
2. Open the Sprint PCS Dialer software or application on
your computer and place the call.
The phone displays the number your computer is
calling and a “connecting” message is displayed.
Once the call successfully connects, your phone’s
display shows you information on the status of the data
call.
Note:
You will not need to
install the Sprint PCS
Dialer for Palm or
HPC/Windows CE.

Receiving Sprint PCS Wireless Calls
Most users use the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection to
place outgoing data/fax calls. But you can also set up your
Sprint PCS Phone to receive (host) data and fax calls.
Because each phone model is different, the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection Kit doesn't include instructions
for how to set up your phone to receive data and fax calls.
Here's the procedure to set up your Sprint PCS Phone to
receive a (mobile-terminated) data or fax call:
1. Select the menu option to enable incoming data/fax
calls. Note that incoming voice calls are not possible
when your Sprint PCS Phone is set to receive data/fax
calls.
2. Once you've received the incoming data/fax call, you
may want to return the phone to its normal state by
disabling incoming data/fax calls.
Using Special Features During a
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Call
Your phone gives you the ability to use special features
while you’re on a Sprint PCS Wireless Web call. They are
outlined below:
Caller ID: Just like your phone stores regular Caller ID
numbers, it also stores the numbers of incoming
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection calls. To
distinguish between the two types of calls, “Data” or

Maintaining Safe Use and Access to Your Phone
Caring for the Battery
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
art of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is knowing
where and how it works at optimum efficiency. This section outlines
performance and safety guidelines that ensure you experience the full
quality your Sprint PCS Phone was designed to give you.
P
Section 17
158 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the
current strength by displaying a number of bars next to the
signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger
the signal.
If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give
you better reception.
Understanding Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated.
If your phone is on, it periodically rechecks service
availability or you can check yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message
displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone
returns to Standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital
mode.

Safety Information:
FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before
using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and
Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a
minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the back of the phone kept 0.60 inches (1.5 cm) from the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.60 inches (1.5 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back
of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or
retracted. All belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
used by this device must not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.
Note: For more information about RF exposure, please visit
the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
Section 17
160 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount
of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless
handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models
are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less that the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a
base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What
is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,
variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by
the public.
The highest reported SAR values of SCP-6000 are:
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.28 W/kg; Body-worn:
1.05 W/kg.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to
RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health agencies
and industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this
updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC
adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Hold the phone with the antenna up, fully-extended
and over your shoulder.
Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone antenna.
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or
liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately
turn the power off and remove the battery. If it’s
inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call
Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
Note:
For the best care of your
phone, only Sprint PCS
authorized personnel
should service your
phone and its
accessories. Faulty
service may void the
warranty.

Using Your Phone While Driving
In some jurisdictions, driving while using a phone requires
a hands-free device. Even where it’s not required, talking on
the phone can divert your attention from driving.
Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed
dial and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into
traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may divert your attention from the road.
Dial to report serious emergencies.
It’s free from your wireless phone.
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless number when necessary.

Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone
off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require
you to have permission from a crew member to use your
phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk
of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while the plane is in the air.
Note:
Always turn off the
phone in health care
facilities and
request permission
before using the
phone near medical
equipment.
Section 17
164 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to
set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could
cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include:
Fueling areas such as gas stations
Below deck on boats
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust or metal powders
Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with it because they could hurt themselves
and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase
your phone bill.
Note:
Never transport or store
flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the
compartment of your
vehicle that contains
your phone or
accessories.

TALK (or similar key) and end when the call is terminated
by either party. You are invoiced for completed calls to your
Number from the time shortly before the phone starts
ringing until the call is terminated by either party. Charges
for most Services are incurred in one-minute increments,
with partial minutes of use rounded up to the next highest
minute. Certain Service Plans do not include itemized
message transmission detail, even for measured service.
Other Services are invoiced on a recurring monthly flat rate
charge and you do not receive itemized message
transmission detail on them.
Voice Command
The Sprint PCS Voice Command feature an optional service
that allows you to place calls without manually dialing by
using speech recognition technology. Calls to 911 or
similar emergency numbers cannot be placed through the
Voice Command feature. Airtime and applicable long
distance charges for a call completed from your Number

and Conditions 18 18 18
call is terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to
the Voice Command platform. If you initiate and complete
a subsequent call without leaving the Voice Command
platform, a separate charge for that call will begin from the
time the previous call was terminated. Airtime and
applicable long distance charges will be applied to the
entire length of a completed call initiated from the Voice
Command feature, including the entire amount of time
spent interacting with the Voice Command platform. Using
Directory Assistance to input names into your Voice
Command address book will incur additional charges.
Details on charges for the Voice Command feature can be
found in the marketing materials for this feature or by
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care.
Invoicing
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length.
Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time.
Except as otherwise provided in your Service Plan, monthly
recurring charges (MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle
in advance. Airtime is invoiced retroactively to the first
minute based on your Service Plan for your total usage in
your invoicing cycle. Charges for Services are usually
invoiced as soon as possible after the charges accrue (unless
you are receiving Services under a Sprint PCS Prepaid
Service Plan). We may, however, invoice you for usage and
charges occurring before the invoicing cycle being invoiced,
if they were not previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for
usage incurred during a prior invoicing cycle, those
minutes will be applied to your Service Plan minutes for the
current invoicing cycle. However, if you change your
Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred and
the beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those minutes
from the prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the
applicable per minute overage rate set out in the Service
Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.

provider. We may charge an additional fee for any check or
other negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned
unpaid by a financial institution for any reason.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date
shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and
equipment not made when due accrues late charges until
paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate
allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each day
that payment is past due, but are not compounded
monthly. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if
marked "paid in full") does not waive our right to collect all
amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges
You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges
invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or
you have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of any
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 177
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions 18 18 18
dispute by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. Calls to our
sales or general business offices are not notice of a dispute.
You do not have to pay any properly disputed amounts
while we investigate them; however, you must pay amounts
not in dispute by the due date. If disputed invoice
procedures are described on the invoice, you must follow
them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate
Services at any time by giving us notice. We may terminate
Services at any time, with or without notice (subject to this
Agreement). We may deactivate any Number before you
receive notice of termination (if we give any notice) without
liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or
without cause.
Termination. Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Term Service Plan, (1) your ability to
terminate Services before the end of the term is limited, (2)
your ability to change to another Service Plan before the
end of the term may be limited and may result in a
termination and/or activation fee, (3) you may be required
to pay a termination fee as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, (4) we may not terminate Services without cause
before the end of the term and (5) if we terminate Services
for cause before the end of the term you may be required to
pay a termination fee as liquidated damages. No
termination fee is charged if you terminate a Term Service
Plan within 14 days of activation of your Sprint PCS Phone.
During the term we must give each other notice to
terminate Services. At and after the expiration of the term,
you may terminate Services at any time by giving us notice
and we may subject to this Agreement terminate Services at
any time, with or without notice.
Section 18
178 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Termination. General.
Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term
Service Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you
without liability (1) if you breach any provision of this
Agreement (including if you fail to pay any charges for
Services) or (2) if you fail to pay any charges due us for
equipment or otherwise. If you promptly cure the breach,
we may, but are not obligated to, reactivate Services to you.
You must pay all charges for (1) Services provided before
termination of a Number and (2) equipment, regardless of
who terminates Services. If Services are terminated before
the end of your current invoicing cycle, (1) the monthly
recurring charge is not prorated to the date of termination,
and (2) you will not receive a credit or refund for any
unused minutes in your Service Plan.
Account Spending Limit
If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account
Spending Limit basis, we will tell you your Account
Spending Limit before we start Services to your Number, or
as reasonably practicable after the limit is imposed. If we
require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services on an
Account Spending Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as
partial guarantee of payment for Services (see Deposits,
below). Charges for Services accrue against your Account
Spending Limit as they are incurred. We may suspend
Services to your Number without prior notice to you when
your account balance reaches your Account Spending
Limit. Services are restored when you have paid any past
due balance and pay a specified minimum amount to
reduce your account balance below your Account Spending
Limit. We may change this minimum amount at any time
upon notice to you. You may pay any past due balance and
the minimum amount by any method authorized by
Sprint PCS. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care for information
about authorized methods of making these payments. If we
provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit basis,
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 179
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions 18 18 18
Services and coverage may be limited in certain ways. You
must pay all charges for Services even if they exceed the
amount of your Account Spending Limit.
Deposits
If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services,
we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for
Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time to
reflect revised estimated monthly charges based upon your
usage. A deposit may not be used to pay any invoice (unless
it is used to pay a final invoice) or delay payment. The
deposit amount, the length of time we hold the deposit and
changes to the deposit amount are determined based on
your credit and payment history. The rate of interest on the
deposit is subject to change. We may mix deposits with our
other funds. If Services are terminated for any reason, we
may, without notice to you, apply your deposit toward
payment of outstanding charges and any excess is returned
to you at your last known address within 75 days after
termination of Services. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot
deliver the money to you and returns it to us, we will hold it
for you for one year from the date of return and we may
charge a monthly servicing fee against the deposit balance.
Any money held during this one-year period will not accrue
interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion of the
money left after the one-year period.
Prepaid Service Plans. General.
(Prepaid Services are not available in Southern California,
Hawaii or certain Sprint PCS affiliate markets.) If we
provide Services to you on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service
Plan, you may be required to pay an Initial Prepaid Service
Fee to establish your prepaid account with us. This Initial
Prepaid Service Fee is non-refundable and does not apply
against charges for phone calls you make or receive or
service charges. You must keep a positive balance in your
prepaid account in order to make or receive calls. The
balance in your prepaid account is reduced by daily or
Section 18
180 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
monthly service charges (or both), in addition to the
charges for the phone calls you make and receive. Charges
for Prepaid Services are invoiced in one-minute increments
and deducted from your prepaid account balance. Partial
minutes of use are rounded up to the next highest minute.
If you add additional options to your prepaid account, the
monthly charges for them will be deducted from your
prepaid account which could bring your account balance to
$0 or below. When you have used all of the money in your
prepaid account, Services are suspended until you add
money to your account. You may add money to your
prepaid account by any means we agree to accept (e.g.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Cards). If you do not have any
money in your prepaid account for 45 consecutive days, you
will have to pay a reconnection fee to restore Services.
During this 0-45 day period with a $0 balance, your daily or
monthly service charges (or both) will continue to accrue
and you must pay any accrued charges plus a reconnection
fee before Services are restored. If you do not have any
money in your prepaid account for 90 consecutive days, we
close the account. If you wish to restore Services in the
future, you will be subject to current Sprint PCS Prepaid
Service Plan availability and the current Terms; in
addition, you may be charged a reactivation fee. If you call
us toll-free at 1-888-263-9695, we can provide information
about adding money to your prepaid account, the fees for
restoring or reactivating Services, Number availability and
balance information. You must pay all charges for Services
used by you whether or not they are more than the amount
of money in your prepaid account. Services and coverage
under Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans may be more
limited than under other Service Plans. Money in your
prepaid account may be mixed with our money. We do not
pay interest on money in your prepaid account. We do not
refund unused money in your prepaid account and will not
transfer unused money to anyone else or any other Sprint
PCS prepaid or non-prepaid account.
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 181
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions 18 18 18
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(Daily Service Charge)
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Daily Service
Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account once each
day, which could bring your account balance to $0 or
below. You can avoid disruption in Services by keeping a
positive balance in your account. Even if your account
balance reaches $0, the Daily Service Charge continues to
accrue for 45 consecutive days, causing your account
balance to become negative. After 45 consecutive days with
a $0 or negative balance, we will charge you a reconnection
fee in addition to the accrued Daily Service Charge to
restore Services.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(Monthly Service Charge)
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Monthly
Service Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account on
the first day of each month. This could bring our account
balance to $0 or below. You can avoid disruption in Services
by adding enough money to your account before the end of
each month to cover the Monthly Service Charge and keep a
positive balance in your account.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(No Monthly Service Charge)
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan does not have a
Monthly Service Charge and you have not added money to
your account for 60 consecutive days, your account balance
is forfeited. If you add money to your prepaid account
within the 60 day period, your prior account balance and
the money added are carried forward for another 60
consecutive days.
Prepaid Wireless Cards
Each Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Card has an expiration
date on it. If you purchase a Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless
Card and have a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan, you can
Section 18
182 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
only use the card to add money to your prepaid account.
The card must be used to add money to your prepaid
account before the card’s expiration date. If you obtain a
promotional Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Card and do not
have a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan, you can use the
card to make prepaid phone calls that will not show up on
your monthly invoice. You will not be able to use the card
after the expiration date or 60 consecutive days after
making your first call using the card (whichever comes
first).
Wireless Web Services
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be
obtained through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web Services may
not be immediately available in some Sprint PCS affiliate
markets. Use of Wireless Web Services requires a wireless
data compatible phone or certain other equipment (or
both) and is subject to any memory, storage or other
limitation in the phone or other equipment. The Caller ID
blocking feature is not available when using Wireless Web
Services. Your Number is transmitted to any site you visit on
the Internet. You are charged for time spent connected to
the Wireless Web, including time spent browsing on the
Internet and reviewing or scrolling through Internet
information on-line while still connected to the Sprint PCS
Network. Not all Internet sites can be accessed and you may
receive an error message if you attempt to access a site that
cannot be accessed through Wireless Web Services. You are
also charged for Wireless Web connections to review your
Sprint PCS account information. Wireless Web Services
currently are not available when you are roaming off the
Sprint PCS Network. Wireless Web Services are not available
to you if you are on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan. If
you receive Services on an Account Spending Limit basis,
you may be limited in the Wireless Web Services available to
you. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our website at
www.sprintpcs.com for availability and equipment

compatibility information. Specific additional information
about Wireless Web Services, including pricing, included
minutes and combining with other Service Plans, is
available in Sprint PCS’ standard sales collateral for Sprint
PCS Wireless Web Services or at www.sprintpcs.com. Sprint
PCS is not a publisher of third party content that can be
accessed through Wireless Web Services. Sprint PCS is not
responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services or
other information that is provided by third parties and
accessible through Wireless Web Services. Sprint PCS does
not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of
information that is obtained through the Wireless Web
Services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.
Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges
We invoice you for taxes, regulatory related obligations and
other charges levied by federal, state or local authorities, or
foreign government on Services, or mandated to be paid in
proportion to receipts from telecommunications services
provided, or on sales of equipment (except for taxes based
on our net income), if we pay these taxes or other
regulatory related charges. Taxes, regulatory related
charges and charges not directly paid by us are not invoiced
to you, but payment to the taxing or levying authority of
any applicable taxes, regulatory related charges and
charges due from you are your responsibility. If you claim
any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-
exempt document. Any tax exemption applies only from the
date we receive a valid tax-exempt document.
Roaming
Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside
of the Sprint PCS Network are "roaming" calls. Your
Sprint PCS phone is specifically designed and engineered to
work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It works on other
CDMA PCS providers’ systems only when a roaming
agreement is in place between Sprint PCS and the other
providers. If your Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone,
Section 18
184 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
it works on both a CDMA PCS provider’s system (in addition
to the Sprint PCS Network) and a wireless analog
telecommunications provider’s system only when roaming
agreements are in place between Sprint PCS and the other
providers. If we do not have a roaming agreement in place,
you may be able to place roaming calls "manually" by
using a valid credit card. Certain features are not available
when roaming. Roaming rates may be different from and
higher than the rates you pay for calls within your
Sprint PCS Home Service Area and on the Sprint PCS
Network. Roaming charges are invoiced according to the
practices of the roaming service provider. When roaming,
you are subject to the limitation of liability provisions and
other applicable rules imposed by the roaming service
provider on its own subscribers or on roamers.
Interruption of Service
We may give credit for a continuous interruption of Services
for more than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis.
Interruptions caused by your negligent or willful actions, or
by failure of equipment or service not provided by us, or by
causes beyond our reasonable control, do not qualify for
credit. We may provide you with an airtime credit of one
minute for a call that is disconnected because of
transmission limitations caused by atmospheric,
geographic or topographic conditions and that you redial
within one minute of disconnection. You must notify us
within 24 hours of the disconnection to request credit.
Phones and Other Equipment
Phones and other equipment may be purchased and
returned as provided in the purchase documents. We are
not the manufacturer of the phones or other equipment
and the only warranties on the phones or other equipment
are any limited warranties extended by the manufacturers.
We have no liability in connection with the phones and
other equipment or for the manufacturers’ acts or
omissions, or both.

Lost or Stolen Equipment
If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must
notify us by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. You are
responsible for all charges for Services provided to the
Number for the lost or stolen equipment before you notify
us of the loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to the
Number upon notification to us of any loss or theft. You
may be required to provide evidence of the loss or theft (e.g.,
a police report or affidavit). If the equipment is later found,
we may require that you exchange it for another phone or
other equipment before we reactivate Services (if we do
reactivate Services), as well as require you to pay a
reactivation fee. We will deactivate Services to any Number
without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or
fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to reasonably
cooperate with us in investigating suspected unlawful or
fraudulent use.
Caller ID
If you do not want people you call to get the Number
assigned to your phone, you must call Sprint PCS Customer
Care for information about automatic Caller ID blocking.
The Number assigned to your phone can be blocked on a
per-call basis by dialing *67 + Destination Number +
TALK. Caller ID delivery resumes on the next call you make.
Caller ID display on incoming calls to your Number is
dependent on receiving the information from the calling
party.
TTY Access
A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf
or hard of hearing, or who have speech or language
disabilities, to communicate by telephone. It is not possible
to use your phone with a TTY.

exceed (1) in cases related to a specific piece of equipment,
the prorated MRC for Services to the piece of equipment
during the affected period, or (2) in cases not related to a
