Sprint PCSVision FAQs

How will I know when my phone is ready for Sprint PCS Vision service?

Your User name (for example, bsmith001@sprintpcs.com) will appear under the Settings > Phone Info. menu. (See "Phone Information" on page 48.)

How do I enable Sprint PCS Vision for the first time?

You are automatically enabled to access Sprint PCS Vision services when you turn on your phone.

How do I know when my phone is connected to Sprint PCS Vision services?

Your phone automatically connects when Sprint PCS Vision Service is used or an incoming message arrives. Your phone will also display the icon. (Connecting takes about 10-12 seconds.)

Can I make calls and use Sprint PCS Vision services at the same time?

You cannot use voice and Sprint PCS Vision services simultaneously. If you receive a call while Sprint PCS Vision service is active, the call will be forwarded to voicemail. You can place an outgoing call anytime, but it will interrupt any in-progress Sprint PCS Vision service session.

When is my data connection active?

Your connection is active when data is being transferred. Outgoing calls are allowed, but incoming calls go directly to voicemail. When active, the indicator flashes on your phone’s display screen.

When is my data connection dormant?

If no data is received for 10 seconds, the connection goes dormant. When the connection is dormant, voice calls are allowed. (The connection may become active again quickly.) If no data is received for an extended period of time, the connection will terminate.

Can I disable Sprint PCSVision data services?

You can disable Sprint PCS Vision without turning off your phone: however, you will not be able to browse the Web or use other Sprint PCS Vision services. While Vision is disabled, you can still place or receive phone calls, check voicemail, and use other voice services.
