Getting Started With Data Services
With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying
the advantages of data services. This section will help
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 User Name
When you buy your 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 “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John
Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have
jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)
When you use Sprint data services, your user name is
submitted to identify you to the Sprint National Network.
Your user name will be 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.
ᮣ Select and press > Settings > Phone Info >
Phone Number.
Updating Your User Name
If you choose to change your user name and select a
new one online, you must then update the user name
on your phone.
ᮣ Select and press > Settings > More... >
Data > Update Data Profile. (To cancel, press Cancel
[right softkey] before completing the update.)
