 If your phone is activated, it will search for Sprint service and enter standby mode.

Activate Your Phone

use or you may need to activate it on your Sprint account.

● If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.

Get Started 2

● If you received your phone in the mail and it is for a new Sprint account or a new line of
service, it is designed to activate automatically.

● If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing
number on your account (you‘re swapping phones), you can activate on your computer
online or directly on your phone.

 Activate on your computer:

 Go to sprint.com/activate and follow the instructions to activate your phone.

assistance.

Warning: 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
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to
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.

calling with up to 199 other Direct Connect users (with Sprint phones only). With
TeamDC and Opt-In TeamDC, all members can access the most up-to-date group list on

Before Making Your First Direct Connect Call

To enable Direct Connect on your phone, a Sprint Customer Service representative must add
Direct Connect service to your account. Please call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727
for more information.

Sprint Direct Connect 33

Your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number:

● Separate numbers (DC Only) - Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not
your wireless number). It is made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for
example, 444*5555*111).

● A single number (Mobile+DC) - Your Direct Connect number is the same as your
wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234).

Dial Direct Connect Numbers
Save a Direct Connect Number
Display Your Direct Connect Number

Dial Direct Connect Numbers

● If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you
dial any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts,
choose DC Only for the phone type.

● If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct
Connect, use that ten-digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not
need to add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this number in your
contacts, choose Mobile+DC for the phone type.

Tip: Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to

dial Direct Connect numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to tell your contacts
with Nextel phones to dial the number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for
example, 555*555*1234).

Tip: One way to easily ensure that your contacts have your correct number is to call them so

that they can save your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their contact
information. Remember you will need all digits of the number to make a successful call.
Also, if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for Direct Connect, you will need
to enter asterisks (*) between sets of numbers.

To tell if a number is a valid Direct Connect number:

► Check the icon for the highlighted number. If it has a Mobile+DC icon ( ) or a DC Only

icon ( ), it is a valid Direct Connect number.
– or –

Sprint Direct Connect 34

separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111). When saving this type of
number, always include the asterisks (*).

2. Press OPTIONS (right softkey) > Save.

3. Select New Entry or Existing Entry.

4. Select a number type for the entry:
 Select Mobile+DC if the wireless phone number and the Direct Connect number are

number. Make sure to include the asterisks (*) between the sections of a DC Only
number.

Note: All Direct Connect users with Nextel or PowerSource phones must ALWAYS use an

asterisk (*) between sets of digits, even if they are calling another user whose Direct
Connect number is the same as their wireless phone number. Make sure to include the
asterisks when giving your number to a Nextel or PowerSource user (for example, if your
number is 555-555-1234, when giving it to a Nextel or PowerSource user, it should be
555*555*1234).

Roaming Guards

Roaming on Other Networks

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.

Network.

Text Messaging and Multimedia Messaging

With messaging, you can send and receive messages between your phone and another
messaging-ready phone. When you receive a new message, it will automatically display on your
phone‘s screen.

In addition, messaging includes a variety of preset messages, such as ―The meeting has been

cancelled,‖ that make composing messages fast and easy. Use your phone to customize your

own preset messages (up to 50 characters).
There are two types of messaging, text messaging (SMS) and multimedia messaging (MMS).
Text messages can be composed of up to six segments of 160 (140 in Spanish) characters

each, for a total of 960 (840 in Spanish) characters per text message. The current segment and
total segment count is displayed at the top of each segment. For example, (5/6) at the top of a
segment would indicate you are viewing segment five of a six-segment message.

Multimedia messages consist of both text and multimedia files, such as pictures, videos, or
voice recordings. Outgoing multimedia messages can be up to 1 MB with up to 1000 text
characters.
