Welcome! Get Your Device Ready

get what you want when you want it, faster than ever before. This booklet

apps from Android Market™, browse the Web at 3G and 4G speeds, send
email, text, or picture messages, watch movies or TV, get turn-by-turn driving
directions, or connect up to eight Wi-Fi devices to the Internet with Sprint
Hotspot. Because there’s less waiting, and more doing, on the
Now Network.™
The services described in this guide may require a subscription to a service plan and/or may incur additional charges. Not all services will work on all
devices. Coverage is not available everywhere. Sprint 4G coverage is not available in all markets. See www.sprint.com/coverage for more details.
