Data Services General Information

The following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including
managing your user name and understanding the data connection indicators.

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
[e-mail] as his user name.)

When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the network. Your
user name is automatically programmed into your phone. You don’t have to enter it.

If you aren’t sure what your user name is, you can easily find it on your phone.

the screen. The following symbols are used:

Your phone is connected to the 3G network. When the triangles are animated, 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). In either state, you can receive
incoming calls.

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.

TTY Mode

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device
that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities,
to communicate by telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your
TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device

will connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not

provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.

Warning: 911 Emergency Calling

It is recommended 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 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.
