:
Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard
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
[email protected] 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 will be automatically programmed into your phone. You don
‟t
have to enter it.

If you choose to change your user name and select a new one online, you must then update the
