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.
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.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow you
to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate network.

Prepare Your Phone for VPN Connection

Depending on the type of VPN, you may be required to enter your login credentials or install security
certificates before you can connect to your company's local network. You can get this information
from your network administrator.
To connect to a VPN, you must have Mobile data enabled, or your phone must be connected to a
Wi-Fi network. For information about setting up and using these connections on your phone, see
