Signing In To the Desktop Interface

computer. Where on the Web? Follow these instructions to sign in.

2 Click the link to My T-Mobile. The My T-Mobile page opens.

3 Type your device's Phone Number and Password to sign in.

Tip: If you don't know your phone number, you can find it on your device: From the Jump screen, open the

Phone application. Press the Menu button, then select Settings. Your phone number is shown at the top of

the screen that appears.

4 On the Web page that opens, click the link to Desktop Interface.

5 Your Jump page opens, displaying a summary of your emails, upcoming Calendar events, To Do list, and

Notes.

6 To make the Desktop Interface your default entry point to the T-Mobile Web site after signing in, click Set My

T-Mobile Start Page (this link appears in the upper-right corner of your Jump page). On the window that

opens, select Desktop Interface (Your Jump Page).

7 Use the navigation buttons at the top of the page to open the various applications, or to open the Help

window, which displays the online "T-Mobile Sidekick Owner's Manual".

Note that you can open the online Owner's Manual directly by pointing your Web browser (including the Web

securely.

The T-Mobile applications not available on the Web are Phone, Instant Messaging, and Web Browser. All the

other applications display the same personal data that you can see on your device screens. This is accomplished

through data synchronization, which means that no matter where you enter or receive personal information--on

the device or the Web interface--you'll be able to open that information on both clients.
