Getting Started
With your phone and Nextel service from Sprint, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. This section helps 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 a 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 data services might have jsmith003@sprint.com as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name identifies you to the network. The user name is also useful as an address, as a way to personalize Web services, and as an online virtual identity.
Your user name is 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 on your phone.
To find your user name:
▶Press O> Settings/Tools > Settings > Phone Info > My Phone Numbers.
Launching a Data Connection
To launch a data connection:
▶Press O> Web. (Your data connection starts and the home page is displayed.)
