Your User Name
When you buy a Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card and sign up for service, you're automatically assigned a user name. Your user name identifies you on the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network and is also useful as an address for email and text messaging, as a way to personalize Internet services, and as an online virtual identity.
A user name is typically based on the customer’s name and a number, followed by “ @sprintpcs.com
.” For example, the third
John Smith to sign up for Sprint PCS Vision services might have [email protected]
as his user name. If you want a particular user name, you can visit www.sprint.com
and get the name you want – as long as nobody else has it.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into your
Express Card. You don't have to enter it.

How can I optimize my settings to achieve faster speeds and send and receive less data while dialing into my company network?
For optimized results, work in “Offline” mode and synchronize periodically to send and receive company email.
Also, save attachments or drag them into desktop folders before opening them (rather than double-clicking them in the email).
