your phone’s data connections and the built-in Web browser.

Data Services
The following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including
managing your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your
phone.

Your User Name
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you’re automatically assigned a user name,
which is typically based on your name and a number, followed by “@sprintpcs.com.” (For
example, the third John Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have
jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide

your phone is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the
triangles are solid gray, your phone is connected to the network but is not currently transferring
data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open).

Your phone is outside of the Sprint data network service area.

Browser
Your phone’s Web browser gives you access to websites on the go, using data connections.

911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means,
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
83

received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

Your display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint Network.
Anytime you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

When you’re roaming on other networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the
quality you receive when making calls on the Nationwide Sprint Network. However, you may not
be able to access certain features, such as data services, depending on the available network.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint Network, your call is dropped. If
your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your
phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.

Check for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive on-phone
notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to

extended period of time.
