6 Wait while data is being transmitted.
After agreeing to the Danger Service and End-User License Agreement, the registration information is sent to
the T-Mobile service. If your username has already been taken, you’ll be notified on a screen that gives you
opportunity to select a new one. You’ll then see a Congratulations screen, letting you know that you are now
ready to use the T-Mobile services. There is a chance that the data transmission may fail, in which case you’ll
receive a message asking you to try later.
7 Congratulations!
Once your account has been set up, you’ll see the Congratulations screen and a final screen with the Start
button. Select the Start button to do just that! If you’re roaming on another network, you’ll be notified at this
point (see Warning below).
8 Read the Hints screens.
Before going to the Jump screen, take a minute to read the helpful Hints that appear. After reading each hint,
select Next to advance to the next. Select Done to dismiss Hints and go to the Jump screen.
Warning! When roaming outside the T-Mobile network, you may incur additional charges for data transfer with
or without taking any actions, such as receiving emails. To avoid additional charges while roaming, go to Jump
Settings > Wireless Options and clear the GPRS Data Roaming On check box. If you do roam with GPRS
Data Roaming off, you will still be able to make and receive voice calls.
