Wireless Backup
This feature allows you to back up all of your contacts to the
Sprint Web site and restore them if your phone is lost,
stolen, damaged, or replaced.
To subscribe to the wireless backup service, you will need to
purchase a license to use the wireless backup service via
the Sprint vending machine, accessed through the WAP
browser on your phone. The license expires after a set
period of time and must be renewed regularly. As part of the
initial subscription process, a random wireless backup
password is generated. The randomly-generated password
will be sent to the handset as an SMS text message.
(Subscribe launches the subscription process. If you are
already subscribed to wireless backup, Unsubscribe will be
displayed.)
WARNING
911 Emergency Calling
Your cable provider and Sprint recommend 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.
Tip:
To use the Wireless Backup service, you are required to
activate the service from your phone.
