Your Device, Number & Email Address

We don’t manufacture any Device that we 

might sell to you or that is associated with 

our Services, and we aren’t responsible 

for any defects, acts, or omissions of the 

manufacturer. 

The only warranties on your 

Device are the limited warranties given to 

you by the manufacturer directly or that 

we pass through. Device performance 

may vary based on device specifications 

(for example, a device’s software, memory, 

and storage), and device performance 

may impact access to all of our Services.

 

Your Device is designed to be activated 

on our networks and in other coverage 

areas that we may make available to you. 

As programmed, it will not accept wireless 

service from another carrier. Except for any 

legal right you may have to port/transfer 

your phone number to another carrier, 

you have no—and cannot gain any (for 

example, through publication, use, etc.)—

proprietary, ownership, or other rights to 

any phone number, identification number, 

email address, or other identifier that we 

assign to you, your Device, or your account. 

We’ll notify you if we decide to change 

or reassign them. Your CDMA Sprint PCS 

phone may have software programming 

lock that protects certain of the handset’s 

operating parameters against unauthorized 

reprogramming. If your device has a 

software programming lock, and you wish 

to obtain the software program lock code 

for your CDMA Sprint PCS phone, please 

visit 

sprint.com

 or call 1-888-211-4727 for 

information and eligibility requirements.

Porting/Transferring Phone Numbers

We don’t guarantee that number transfers 

to or from us will be successful. If you 

authorize another carrier to transfer
