Your phone comes with a preinstalled SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card to support roaming on compatible GSM networks.

Note: Your SIM card should be preinstalled. If you need to reinstall your SIM card, follow the instructions below.

Note: The SIM included contains information specific to your phone and should be retained with the phone for use on GSM networks.

1. Using the slot provided, gently lift the cover off the phone. Remove the battery.
2. Hold the SIM card so that the metal contacts on the SIM card face down and the cut off corner points to the bottom-right corner of your phone.
3. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot until it stops.
4. Replace the battery and battery cover.

Your phone is designed to enter global roaming mode automatically when you activate your Sprint Worldwide service, meaning that it should automatically connect to an appropriate CDMA/LTE network or GSM/UMTS network when you travel. You may set global roaming options through the settings menu. You may also need to set your network mode options through the settings menu.

To set your roaming options manually:

1. Press Home and tap Menu > Settings > Connections > More networks > Mobile networks.
2. Select Network mode.
3. Configure settings for each category:
   • Roaming network: Select Automatic for international use. Home only restricts use to the Nationwide Sprint Network only.
   • Roaming settings: Under Domestic CDMA and International CDMA, select the Voice and Data check marks. Under GSM, select the Data check mark.
   • Roaming guard: Select your roaming guard preferences for Domestic CDMA, International CDMA, and GSM.

To set your network mode options manually:

1. Press Home and tap Menu > Settings > Connections > More networks > Network mode.
2. Choose an option:
   • To allow connections to CDMA or LTE networks only, touch CDMA or LTE/CDMA.

   • To allow connections to available CDMA/LTE or GSM/UMTS networks, touch Automatic. This is the recommended setting for international use.

Placing calls from one country to another country is simple with the Plus (+) Code Dialing feature. When placing international calls, you can use Plus Code Dialing to enter the appropriate international access code for your location (for example, 011 for international calls placed from the United States).

Note: Plus Code Dialing is only available when roaming internationally on GSM networks and on certain CDMA networks in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean.

   • If you are on the GSM network, touch and hold 0+ to insert a “+” on the dialer screen. (The “+” symbol automatically inserts the international access code for the country from which you are calling.)
   • If you are on the CDMA network outside Canada or the Caribbean, enter the international access code for the country from which you are calling.
3. Touch 1 (if needed for US country code), and then enter the area code and number.
4. Touch the call icon to place the call.

To simplify accessing your Sprint Voicemail while travelling, you can set up your voicemail access number as a Contacts entry. Save the voicemail access number with the international dialing code, to make it faster and easier to access your messages while roaming internationally.

Your Sprint voicemail will follow you as you travel. All of your unanswered calls will be forwarded to your Sprint voicemail. You will need to be sure your voicemail box is already set up and that you know your voicemail password.

Note: Sprint voicemail may not be available on all networks; check sprint.com/sww for service information.

To retrieve your voicemail messages:

1. Press Home and tap Phone > Contacts tab, touch the voicemail entry and then touch the number to call it.

• You may see “Missed Call” on your screen prior to receiving a message notification.
• You must call voicemail in order to retrieve messages. Follow the instructions on setting up your voicemail access number for easy access.

Voicemail Troubleshooting:

• Some carriers may not support voicemail indicators. It may be necessary to call your voicemail to see if you have any new messages.
• If you hear the message “Please enter the number of the subscriber you wish to call,” enter your 10-digit wireless phone number.

Sprint Worldwide Wireless Service can also keep you connected via email and Web browsing when travelling in countries in which Sprint offers data service. Data services are available on both CDMA and GSM/UMTS networks. Check http://www.sprint.com/sww to determine the services available where you are travelling.

To get started with Data Services:

You will need to have these services activated on your account. To activate, call Sprint Worldwide Customer Support at 1-888-226-7212. Representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist you.

Access Email and Data Services on GSM/UMTS Networks:

To access your email and browse the Web when travelling, you may need to manually select the carrier that provides Sprint service in your location.

Selecting a specific carrier is only necessary for providers on the GSM network. If your phone has automatically selected a GSM network while traveling, then you will need to set the phone to CDMA to access CDMA data services. (See Enable Global Roaming Mode.) Visit sprint.com/sww for a list of services available in each country.
