Data Services (Sprint 3G and 4G (WiMAX)
Networks)
With your Boost service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services on the
Sprint network. This section will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including
managing your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your
device.
Important:
Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
device is loading the requested service, the touchscreen may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the device some
time to process your data usage request.
Your User Name
When you buy your device and sign up for service, you
’re automatically assigned a user name,
which is typically based on your name and a number, followed by
“@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John Smith to sign up for data
services might have
as his user name.)
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 device.
