Getting Started
With your phone and Nextel service from Sprint, you are
ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. This
section helps 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 Us er N am e
When you buy a 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 “@sprint.com.” (For
example, the third John Smith to sign up for data services
might have
When you use data services, your user name identifies you to
the network. The user name is also useful as an address, as a
way to personalize Web services, and as an online virtual
identity.
Your user name is automatically programmed into your
phone. You don't have to enter it.
Finding Your User Name
If you aren't sure what your user name is, you can easily find
it on your phone.
To find your user name:
䊳 Press O > Settings > Phone Info > My Phone Numbers.

Launching a Data Connection
To launch a data connection:
䊳 Press O > Web. (Your data connection starts and
the home page is displayed.)
If you have activated Net Guard, you are prompted to
confirm the connection. See your phone’s user guide for
more information.
If you had a previous data connection, the last page you
visited is displayed when you start your browser.
Though the browser is open, you are not currently in an
active data session—that is, no data is being sent or
received. As soon as you navigate to another page, the
active session begins.
Connection Status and Indicators
Your display screen lets you know the status of your
data connection.
Flashing arrows indicate that your phone is
transmitting data.
Indicates the connection has been established.
When your phone is transmitting data, you will not be
notified of incoming phone or Walkie-Talkie calls.
Phone calls will be transferred to voicemail, and
Walkie-Talkie calls will be listed in Call History. If you
are in a data session but you are not transmitting data,
you will receive notice of incoming phone and WalkieTalkie calls. Accepting a phone call or Walkie-Talkie call
ends your data session.
