Getting Help
Setting up service on your new Sprint PCS Phone is quick and easy.
This section walks you through the necessary steps to unlock
your phone, set up your voicemail, establish passwords, and
contact Sprint for assistance with your Sprint PCS Service.
Section 1A: Setting Up Service
Setting Up Service
Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you
need to do is unlock it.
If your phone is not activated, please refer to the activation
card included with your phone.
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold END to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock (right softkey).
Note:
To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the
softkey text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right
of your phone’s display screen. Softkey actions change
according to the screen you’re viewing and will not appear if
there is no corresponding action available.
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,
the code is not visible as you type.)
Tip:
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits
of either your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone
number or try 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call
Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
Section 1A: Setting Up Service
Setting Up Your Voicemail
All unanswered calls to your Sprint PCS Phone are
automatically transferred to your voicemail, even if your
phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you will want to set
up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your
Sprint PCS Phone is activated.
To set up your voicemail:
1. From standby mode, press and hold
2. Follow the system prompts to:

Choose whether or not to activate One-Touch
Message Access (a feature that lets you access
messages simply by pressing and holding 1 ,
bypassing the need for you to enter your passcode)
Voicemail Passcode
If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your
voicemail account, Sprint recommends you enable your
voicemail passcode.

Voicemail” on page 91.

As a Sprint PCS customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your
personal account information, your voicemail account, and

can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also
available at www.sprint.com – click on the Shopping tab at the
top, then look under Phones & Accessories.

glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upperright corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery
charge is getting too low, the battery icon
blinks and the
phone sounds a warning tone.

Understanding Roaming

⽧
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new dual band/tri-mode
VI-290 by Motorola® works anywhere on the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog
and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve
implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.
60
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you
are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you
are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display
along with the text – Digital Roam –. If you are roaming on an
analog system, the roaming icon will display along with the
text – Analog Roam –.
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note:
Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features, such
as Sprint PCS Vision.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network and enter an area where roaming is available, your
call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you
think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and
on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
61
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and
Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
䢇 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
䢇 Some features that are standard on the enhanced
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.
䢇 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on
page 74.)
䢇 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services
today.
䢇 Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note:
62
When using your phone in an analog mode, the phone may
feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you
will need to periodically check your voicemail for new
messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended
period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can
determine which signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual- band
phone to control your roaming experience.
To set your phone’s roam mode:
1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.
2. To select an option, highlight it and press
䡲
䡲
䡲
64
OK .
Sprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on
other networks.
Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS
Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.
Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming
system. The previous setting (Sprint Only or
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Using Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it
easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra
step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This
additional step is not required when you make or receive calls
while on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.
2. Highlight On or Off and press OK .
Note:
Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you
are roaming with Call Guard enabled.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
Roaming
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit
number and press
2. Select Roam Call (
TALK

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press

roaming charges will apply.)
2. Select Answer (

If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra
steps to make and receive roaming calls.
