All you need to know to get going.
Get started

Sprint is committed to developing technologies that give you the
ability to get what you want when you want it, faster than ever
before. This booklet introduces you to the basics of getting started
with Sprint and your new Samsung Intercept.™ Just go to any
basic function or Sprint feature that interests you. You’ll see how
easy it is to browse the Web, or send email or text messages. You can also download
your favorite music, watch movies or Sprint TV, get turn-by-turn driving directions,
choose ringers, screensavers, and much more. So jump right in. 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.
