Can I make calls and use data services at the same time?
Depending on the current configuration of your device, you may be able to make calls and use
data services at the same time.
With DDTM mode off (default, configured in Settings > Call > CDMA call settings):
If you are using the Sprint 3G Network when a voice call comes in, data transmission is
suspended and will automatically resume when you complete your voice call.
If you are on a voice call, you will not be able to establish connection with the Sprint 3G
Network.
With DDTM on (configured in Settings > Call > CDMA call settings):
You cannot use voice and data services simultaneously. If you receive a call while data
service is active, your device will forward the call to voicemail. You can place an
outgoing call at any time, but it will interrupt any in-progress data session. Your device
will not automatically resume an interrupted data session.

If your device receives no data for an extended period of time, the connection will terminate.
Can I sign out of data services?
You can sign out without turning off your device; however, you will not be able to browse the
Web or use other data services (unless you establish a Wi-Fi connection.) While signed out, you
can still place or receive phone calls, check voicemail, and use other voice services. You may
sign in again at any time. To sign out, go to Settings > Wireless & networks and clear the
