Getting Started With Sprint PCS Vision

With your Sprint PCS Vision Phone and Sprint PCS Service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of Sprint PCS Vision. This section will help you learn the basics of using your Sprint PCS Vision services, including managing your User name, launching a Vision connection, and navigating the Web with your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision 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 “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John Smith to sign up for Sprint PCS Vision services might have jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his User name.)

When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your User name is submitted to identify you to the Sprint Nationwide 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 Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You don't have to enter it.
