Data Services – Sprint 4G LTE and Sprint 3G
Networks
With your Boost Mobile service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services.
This section 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.
When you turn on phone for the first time, it is automatically set up to use the Sprint 4G LTE (if
available in your area) or the Sprint 3G Network for data connection.
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some
time to process your data usage request.
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
―@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com.‖ (For example, the third John Smith to sign up for data
services might have jsmith003@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide
Sprint Network. Your user name is automatically programmed into your phone. You don’t have
to enter it.

Launching a Web connection is as simple as opening the browser on your phone.
● Touch > > Internet. Your data connection starts and you see the home page. You

touch it.
