Warning: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number:

• Separate numbers (DC Only) - Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not your wireless number). It is made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).
• A single number (Mobile+DC) - Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234).

Dial Direct Connect Numbers

Save a Direct Connect Number

Display Your Direct Connect Number

Dial Direct Connect Numbers

• If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts, choose DC Only for the phone type.
• If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that ten-digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this number in your contacts, choose Mobile+DC for the phone type.

Tip: Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).

Tip: One way to easily ensure that your contacts have your correct number is to call them so that they can save your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their contact information. Remember you will need all digits of the number to make a successful call. Also, if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*) between sets of numbers.

To tell if a number is a valid Direct Connect number:

▶ Check the icon for the highlighted number. If it has a Mobile+DC icon ( ) or a DC Only icon ( ), it is a valid Direct Connect number.

Note: All Direct Connect users with Nextel or PowerSource phones must ALWAYS use an asterisk (*) between sets of digits, even if they are calling another user whose Direct Connect number is the same as their wireless phone number. Make sure to include the asterisks when giving your number to a Nextel or PowerSource user (for example, if your number is 555-555-1234, when giving it to a Nextel or PowerSource user, it should be 555*555*1234).

1. Press DONE (left softkey) to save the entry.

Group Connect

A Group Connect call is a Direct Connect call made to up to 20 Direct Connect users with Sprint phones nationwide at one time. You can make a Group Connect call in several different ways:

• By setting up a group entry in Contact on your phone.

• By selecting or entering multiple numbers for a one-time call.

For information on creating groups and storing them in Contacts, see Create a Group Entry.

Important: When making a Group Connect call or creating a group list for Group Connect calls in Contacts, you must select an entry's Direct Connect-capable number.

Once a user creates and distributes a TeamDC group, any member of the group can make a TeamDC call to the entire group. If the user who created the group makes any changes to the group, the system automatically sends updates to the members' phones.

Roaming

Roaming on Other Networks

Roaming Settings

Roaming Guards

Roaming on Other Networks

When you're roaming on other networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Nationwide Sprint Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as data services, depending on the available network.

Note: If you're on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.

Roaming Icon

Your phone's display screen always lets you know when you're off the Nationwide Sprint Network.

Anytime you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon 🙏.

Note: Sprint Direct Connect - Direct Connect services are not available while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network.

Check for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.

1. Dial your ten-digit wireless phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, enter 📄
3. Enter your password at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

When you return to the Nationwide Sprint Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Roaming Settings

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

To set the roaming mode:

1. Press OK > Settings > Others > Roaming > Roaming Mode.

1. Press OK > Settings > Others > Roaming > Roaming Settings.

2. Highlight each service you want to enable when roaming and press OK

3. Domestic Voice to access voice service while roaming domestically.

Roaming Guards

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Roaming Guards. Roaming Guards make it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an extra step before you can place calls, answer calls, or access data services (such as messaging) while roaming. (This extra step is not required when

you are using the Nationwide Sprint Network.) Roaming Guards can be configured separately for domestic and international usage.

To turn Roaming Guards on or off:

1. Press OK > Settings > Others > Roaming > Roaming Guards > Domestic or International.
2. Highlight each service you want to enable Roaming Guards for and press OK.

Text Messaging and Multimedia Messaging

With messaging, you can send and receive messages between your phone and another messaging-ready phone. When you receive a new message, it will automatically display on your phone's screen.

In addition, messaging includes a variety of preset messages, such as “The meeting has been cancelled,” that make composing messages fast and easy. Use your phone to customize your own preset messages (up to 50 characters).

There are two types of messaging, text messaging (SMS) and multimedia messaging (MMS).

Text messages can be composed of up to six segments of 160 (140 in Spanish) characters each, for a total of 960 (840 in Spanish) characters per text message. The current segment and total segment count is displayed at the top of each segment. For example, (5/6) at the top of a segment would indicate you are viewing segment five of a six-segment message.
