Getting Started With Data Services
With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying
the advantages of data services. 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.
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 “@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 Sprint Power Vision services, your user
name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide
Sprint Network. Your user name will be automatically
programmed into your device. You don’t have
to enter it.
Finding Your User Name
If you aren’t sure what your user name is, you can
easily find it on your device.

Note The next time your device connects to a previously
accessed secured wireless network, you will not be
prompted to enter the WEP key again, unless you
reset your device to its factory default settings.
Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means
no additional steps are required for your device to
connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to
provide a username and password for certain closed
wireless networks.
