connection Sprint Connection Manager will search for only 1xRTT networks.

Note:

Sprint Connection Manager will always try to connect to a Sprint CDMA 1xEV-DO network first before attempting to connect to a 1xRTT network. 1xEV-DO networks always have priority. If a 1xEV-DO network is unavailable then Sprint Connection Manager will search for a available 1xRTT network.

Tip:

If the signal strength is too weak and you are unable to connect using 1xRTT in the 1900 MHz frequency, or if your connection fails due to this selection, disable the setting.

Applying your Mode Preference

1.Click OK or Apply on the Settings dialog box to reset your card. When you apply your service preference the following dialog will appear: “Service setting was changed successfully. Please wait while the modem is reset for the changes to take effect.”

2.Click OK to close the dialog box. When the modem is reset the Go button will be visible and the Connection Manager User Interface will display “Disconnected.” (It may take a moment for the modem to reset.)

Roaming Preference

The Roaming section is used to change your roaming preference. Your coverage area and billing charges depend upon your service and the type of account you have. There may be surcharges for roaming service that vary based on whether you are in a preferred roaming area or a non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming agreement between Sprint and the local carrier, you may be unable to complete calls in a non-preferred zone.
