Data Services General Information (Sprint
Spark LTE and 3G Networks)
The following topics 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.
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your phone is
loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard may appear unresponsive when in
fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your data usage request.

4G LTE

The Sprint 4G LTE network provides your phone with wireless Internet access over greater distances
than Wi-Fi and delivers data transfer rates of up to 60 Mbps. To connect your phone to the 4G LTE
network, you must be in an area covered by the 4G LTE network.
For more information about the availability of Sprint 4G LTE service in your location, visit
sprint.com/coverage.
Note: The availability and range of the network depends on a number of factors including your distance to
the base station, and infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.
Set Your Network Options
1. From home, tap
mode.
2. Select CDMA, LTE / CDMA, GSM / UMTS, or Automatic.
 The phone will scan for the best available Sprint network and will automatically connect to it.

status bar.
Note: The Sprint networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your
phone to connect to them.

Your User Name

When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you are 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 data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the network. Your user name
is automatically programmed into your phone. You do not have to enter it.
