Multimedia FAQs, Sprint PCS Vision Plan | Sprint Nextel MM-A800

Note: The first time you access one of your Available Channels, you will be prompted to accept the corresponding monthly fee (unless it’s a channel that doesn’t have an associated monthly fee). Accepting the charge gives you access to the channel for as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. If you accept the fee, the next time you access your phone’s media player, this channel will appear in the My Channels section of your Channel Listings.

Multimedia FAQs

1.How does my phone's Multimedia Service differ from Sprint PCS Video Mail?

Multimedia Service lets you access high-quality video and audio clips provided by external sources. Video Mail lets you capture, upload and share videos that you personally create with your phone's built-in camcorder.

2.How am I charged for Multimedia Service?

It depends on whether you sign up for a Sprint PCS Vision Plan. Please see the following options below:

A.Sprint PCS Vision Plan:

♦With any Sprint PCS Vision Plan (other than the SprintTV Vision Plan), you can play an unlimited number of video/audio clips on your phone's display as long as you've subscribed to a channel (see next bullet). You also receive access to the Previews channel as a courtesy from Sprint. It doesn't cost you anything to play the clips, but you will need to pay a monthly fee for any channel subscriptions (see the following bullet).
