your personal account information, your voicemail
account, and your data services account. To ensure
that no one else has access to your information, you
will need to create passwords to protect your privacy.

username and password when you sign on to
www.sprint.com. (Click Need to register for access? to get
started.) If you are not the account owner (if someone
else receives the bill for your Sprint service), you can
get a sub-account password at
6 1A. Setting Up Service

when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your
Voicemail” on page 5 for more information on your
voicemail password.

optional data services password to control access and
