A: No, Sprint does not charge a fee for enabling or using this feature.
● Q: Is Sprint Connections Optimizer a secure feature?
A: Yes, customer specific information is not used by the feature and the Sprint
Connections Optimizer will not automatically connect you to open Wi-Fi networks. Open
Wi-Fi networks must be manually setup as a remembered network in the Wi-Fi section of
Settings in order to establish an automatic connection.
● Q: How will my phone find the same Wi-Fi networks every time?
A: Customers should setup their preferred Wi-Fi connections in the Wi-Fi section within

network, Wi-Fi connection occurs automatically. There are no limits to the number of
access points that can be remembered.
