Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your phone
is loading the requested service, the touchscreen may appear unresponsive when in fact they are
functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your data usage request.
Your 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.

services, you must then update the profile on your phone.
