signature with each sent message, and create your own preset messages.

Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS technology, making some Sprint
applications and services easier to use. Turning Location off will disable the GPS location function for all purposes
except 911, but will not hide your general location based on the cell site serving your call. No application or service
may use your location without your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not available in all areas.
