2. Press Unlock (leftsoftkey).

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,

If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the lastfour digits of your wireless phone number. If this doesn’t work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.

Note:

To select a softkey, press the key directly below the softkey text that is displayed 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 be displayed if there is no corresponding action available.

Customer Service. Your default account password is the last four digits of your Social Security number. 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

www

.sprint.com

You’ll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail”on page 137 for more information on your voicemail password.

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Your new S1 by SANYO works

anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows you to roam on 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Roaming

84 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 Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

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 Sprint National Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, depending on the available network.

Note:

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National 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 service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint National Network.

Note:

Unless your Sprint service plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Tip:

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
