Understanding 4G and 3G Coverage

4G is a service that must be included in your service plan and also available within your area.
4G coverage is currently available in only certain markets. For more details on 4G availability go
to: www.sprint.com/4G and click the See 4G Cities link from the bottom of the page.
Note: If 4G service is not included in your service plan, the 4G icon will not appear in the
Notifications area.
4G is up to 10x faster than 3G (based on download speed comparison of 3G's ~600
kbps vs. 4G's ~ 6 Mbps). (Actual speeds may vary.)
Sprint 4G is currently available in over 35 markets and counting, and on select devices
such as the Epic 4G. See www.sprint.com/4G for details. Not all services are available
on 4G and coverage may default to 3G/separate network where 4G unavailable.
Important: 4G service must be added to your account before attempting a connection to
the 4G network.
Depending on which icons appear within the Notifications area, your services and features will
change. The following table indicates what functions and features are available when
combinations of these service icons appear:
