Data Services General Information (Sprint
Spark LTE and 3G Networks)
With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. 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 keyboard may appear unresponsive when
in fact it is functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your data usage request.
Your Data Services 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 data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint
Network. Your user name is automatically programmed into your phone. You don't have to enter it.
Update Your User Name
If you choose to change your user name and select a new one online, or make any changes to your
services, you must then update the profile on your phone.
