Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is
probably activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you
received your phone in the mail, it probably has been
activated; all you need to do is unlock it.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the
Welcome to Sprint brochure included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1. Press and hold to turn the phone on.

2. Press any selection key.

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

purposes, the code is not visible as you type.)

If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four

Tip :

digits of your Sprint PCS Phone number, 1234, or 0000. If
none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888­211-4PCS (4727).

4 Section 1A: Setting Up Service

Setting Up Your Voicemail

All unanswered calls to your Sprint PCS Phone are
automatically transferred to your voicemail, even if your
phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you will want to
set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as
your Sprint PCS Phone is activated.

To set up your voicemail:

1. From standby mode, press and hold .

2. Follow the system prompts to:

䡲 Create your pass code

䡲 Record your greeting

䡲 Record your name announcement

䡲 Choose whether or not to activate One-Touch

Message Access (a feature that lets you access
messages simply by pressing and holding ,

bypassing the need for you to enter your pass
code)

If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your

Note:

voicemail account, Sprint recommends you enable your
voicemail pass code.

Sprint PCS Account Passwords

As a Sprint PCS customer, you enjoy unlimited access to
your personal account information, your voicemail
account, and your Sprint PCS Vision account. To ensure
that no one else has access to your information, you will
need to create passwords to protect your privacy.

Account Password

If you are the account owner, you'll have an account
password to sign on to www.sprintpcs.com and to use when
calling Sprint 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 invoice for your Sprint PCS Service), you can
get a sub-account password at

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (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. A TTY
device will activate TTY mode on the phone when it is
properly connected. Please check with the manufacturer
of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will
connect via 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.

When establishing your Sprint PCS Service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications

Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing 711 . Then
provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

Note:

If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY
devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE:

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 TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter
has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and
the wireless industry and PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

⽧ Understanding Roaming

⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

⽧ Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You r new dual-band

tri-mode VI-3155i by Nokia works anywhere on the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other
analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where
we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other
carriers.

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

Roaming

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 67

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 Nationwide PCS Network. Any time
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon

( ). If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming
icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam – .

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint

Tip :

Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11
digits (1 + area code + number).

Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you

Note:

will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

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 Nationwide PCS Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features,
such as Sprint PCS Vision.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide

Note:

PCS 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 PCS Service is available, turn
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network.

68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and
Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can
still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:

䢇 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,

fade-out, and dropped calls.

䢇 Some features which are standard on the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint
PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.

䢇 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you

are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on
page 70.)

䢇 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping

and cloning) that exist with conventional analog
services today.

䢇 Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and

you will need to recharge it more often when you use
your phone for analog roaming.

Roaming

When using your phone in an analog mode, the phone may

Note:

feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of
new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages,
but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for
new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an
extended period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press OK.

3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the

voice prompts.

When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

70 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can
determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from five different settings on your dual-band
tri-mode phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Press Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set mode.

2. To select an option, highlight it and press OK:

䡲 Sprint—allows you to access the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents
roaming on other networks.

䡲 Automatic—seeks Sprint PCS Service. When

Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, the phone
searches for an alternate system.

䡲 Roaming only—forces the phone to seek a roaming

system. If no digital roam system is available, the
phone searches for an analog system.

Roaming

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 71

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it
easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra
step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This
additional step is not required when you make or receive
calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Press Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call guard.

2. Highlight On or Off and press OK

Voice dialing and Speed dialing are not available when you
