Internet and Social Networking
The following topics describe how to connect to and use the Internet on your phone, and how to access
popular social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Hangouts.
Data Services General Information (4G LTE and
3G Networks)
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 or QWERTY keyboard may appear unresponsive when in
fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your data usage request.
4G LTE
The 4G enhanced LTE network provides your phone with wireless Internet access over greater distances
than Wi-Fi and delivers data transfer rates of up to 60 Mbps. To connect your phone to 4G, you need to
be in an area covered by the 4G enhanced LTE network.
For more information about the availability of 4G in your location, visit sprint.com/coverage.
Note: The availability and range of the network depends on a number of factors including your distance to
the base station, infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.
Set Your Network Options
1. Tap > Tools > Settings > Networks tab > More > Mobile networks > Network
mode.
2. Select the desired option.
By default, the phone will scan for the best available Sprint network and will automatically
connect to it.
When your phone is connected via 4G, the LTE icon appears in the status bar.
Note: The 4G network is self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your phone
to connect to it.
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 jsm[email protected]om as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the network. Your user name
is automatically programmed into your phone. You don’t have to enter it.
