Web and Data 100
The Sprint Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi
networks. If you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Sprint
Connections Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on
the Sprint network. Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections
periodically (not continuously), and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off.
You may also manually turn the antennas off during the scan period.
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about
your battery levels, Wi-Fi and Sprint Network connections and usage. No personal information is
collected.

Data Services
The following topics will help 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.
Important:
Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some
time to process your data usage request.
Your User Name
When you buy your 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 data services might have
[e-mail] as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide
Sprint Network. Your user name is automatically programmed into your phone. You don’t have
to enter it.
