Getting Started With Data Services
With your data 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 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 “@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com.”
(For example, the third John Smith to sign up for data services might
have
jsmith003@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you
to the Network.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into your phone. You
don’t have to enter it.
