Getting Started
With your Sprint PCS service, you are ready to start
enjoying the advantages of the Sprint Power Vision
Network. This section will help you learn the basics of
using your data services, including managing your user
name, launching a Vision connection, and navigating
the Web with your phone.
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 “@sprint.com.” (For example, the third John Smith
to sign up for the Sprint Power Vision Network might
have
[e-mail] as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is
submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network. The user name is also useful as an address for
Sprint PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services,
and as an online virtual identity.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into
your phone. 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 online or on your phone.
To find your user name:
䢇 At www.sprint.com. Sign on to your account using
your phone number and password. To display your
user name, click on the My Personal Information
menu, and then click on Power Vision User Name.
