Potential limitations if activated outside home cellular region or
Sprint PCS digital network
At the time you receive your vehicle your dealer will activate your
phone. This carrier is usually local to your region and will handle call
processing and billing services for your cellular telephone. In order to
use your phone when traveling outside your home cellular region, the
services of the carriers local to the new area will be required. If your
home carrier has an agreement with the new local carrier, your phone
calls could be forwarded to an operator. However under some
circumstances you may be required to provide a credit card number
before your call is processed. If an activation occurs in this situation, the
initial call will be terminated and a second call which bypasses the
response center’s computer will be placed.
Unlike during the first call attempt, your cellular handset will not be
locked during the second call, so you will have the option of terminating
the assistance request at any time by pushing either PWR or END on the
cellular phone. If the second call is not terminated, it will be forwarded
to a local cellular carrier operator. In this situation, you can provide the
operator with the number you are dialing (Lincoln Security Response
Center at 1–888–99RESCU [1–888–997–3728]) and your credit card
number or ask to be connected to the local 911 or other emergency
services.
Registration requirement
In order to receive effective service, it is highly recommended that you
register with the Lincoln Security Response Center shortly after
receiving your vehicle. The registration process is simple and can be
accomplished by calling the Lincoln Security Response Center at
1–888–99RESCU (1–888–997–3728). Alternatively, the registration
process can be completed on-line during an acquaintance period
activation. (See “Acquaintance activations” later in this section for
details.) The information requested will aid in servicing you more
efficiently during an assistance request.
Acquaintance activations
It is required that you initiate an acquaintance activation shortly after
receiving your vehicle and having your phone activated. An acquaintance
activation is initiated by pressing either the roadside or emergency
control. When voice communication is established with the Lincoln
Security Response Center, indicate that you are a new user and the
