Your T-Mobile Account - Danger T-Mobile Sidekick Owner's Manual

Your T-Mobile Account

Before you can use your device, your T-Mobile account must be completely set up. This involves the following:
1 Obtain a telephone number.
When you purchased your device, a T-Mobile representative assigned you a telephone number, which is
stored on your device's Subscriber Identification Module, or "SIM" for short. (Read more in
Card
on page 27.) This step you've already completed.
2 Wait for account activation.
T-Mobile must activate your device on the network. This can take up to 48 hours after you purchase your
device, but usually takes much less time. You will know your T-Mobile account is activated when you see a
"Welcome to T-Mobile" screen on your device display.
3 Register a username and password.
After you see the Welcome screen on your device, follow the prompts to select a username and password.
You will use your phone number and this password to sign in and out of the Web version of the applications,
and you may occasionally be prompted to enter your username/password information on the device as well.
When selecting a username and password, note the following:
- Usernames - Must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z), can include numbers, can include
underscores but no other punctuation, and must be two or more characters in length. If your preferred
username is already taken, the T-Mobile service will provide you with alternate suggestions. You can
either pick one of these or try another one of your choice. Note that usernames are not case-sensitive.
- Passwords - Must contain 4-15 characters, can include both letters and numbers, but no spaces,
single quotes ('), semicolons (;), backslashes (\),or percent signs (%). You will be asked to type your
password twice for confirmation. Note that your password appears on the screen as asterisks (*) to
ensure privacy. Select a password that is not a word, is difficult to guess, but one that you can
remember. Passwords are case-sensitive. If you forget your password at some time in the future,
contact T-Mobile Customer Care at 1-800-937-8997.
4 Select and answer a secret question.
You will also be asked to select a "secret question" and type the answer. Questions are similar to these:
• What is your mother's maiden name?
• What is your favorite pet's name?
• On what street did you grow up?
• In what city did you grow up?
• What is your favorite movie?
If you ever forget your password, you will be asked to answer this question before your password is "reset"
by Customer Care.
5 Read and agree to Danger Service and End-User License Agreement.
The legal document you must read and agree to can be found on the screen (select the View License
button) and in one of the printed guides you received in the box when you bought your device. For future
reference, you can view the license agreement on the device by pressing the Jump button, then pressing the
Menu button. From the menu, select Copyrights & Credits. From the Copyrights & Credits screen, press the
Menu button and select View License. In addition, the most recent version of this document can be found at
the following Web site:
6 Wait while data is being transmitted.
After agreeing to the Danger Service and End-User License Agreement, the registration information is sent to
the T-Mobile service. If your username has already been taken, you'll be notified on a screen that gives you
