Important (Enhanced 9-1-1): This phone features an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E 9-1-1 emergency location services where available. When you place an emergency 9-1-1 call, the GPS feature of your phone seeks information to calculate your approximate location. Depending on several variables, including availability and access to satellite signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine and report your approximate location. Always report your location to the 9-1-1 operator when placing an emergency call. Some designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), may not be equipped to receive GPS location information from your phone.

To activate Sprint Worldwide service:

• Chat with or email an international support rep by visiting sprint.com/swwsupport.

Call Sprint Worldwide Customer support at 1-888-226-7212.

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

In order to roam internationally on different types of network technology (CDMA/LTE and GSM/UMTS), you may need to set your phone’s network mode to allow use of a specific technology. Once set, 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 or GSM/UMTS network when you travel.

To set your network mode options manually:

1. From a Home screen, tap Apps > Settings > Mobile networks

2. Tap Network mode to configure options:

• To allow connections to CDMA or LTE networks only, tap CDMA or LTE/CDMA.

• To allow connections to GSM or UMTS networks only, tap GSM/UMTS.

• To allow connections to available CDMA/LTE or GSM/UMTS networks, tap 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.

To use Plus Code Dialing to place an international call:

1. From a Home screen, tap Phone to display the phone screen.

2. Dial the appropriate sequence for your location:

• 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. Tap 1 to insert the US country code, and then enter the area code and number.

4. Tap to place the call.

There are a few tips to keep in mind when using Sprint voicemail while traveling.

• Some carriers may not support voicemail indicators. It may be necessary to call your voicemail to see if you have any new messages.

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.

1. From a Home screen, tap Apps > Contacts.

3. If you have accounts set up on your phone, tap a storage account.

4. Enter a name for the new contact, for example, “Voicemail”.

To select a GSM data service carrier for a specific country:

If data service is available on a CDMA network, then you only need to set the phone to CDMA, you will not need to select the specific carrier.

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 Set Network Mode Options.)

If you experience any issues with voice or data services while outside of the United States, Sprint offers customer support 24 hours a day. In the event that you do experience an issue, try the following actions:

• First try powering your phone off and then back on; this will force your phone to reregister with the network.

• Try manually selecting another network. Information for selecting networks can be found in the phone guide.

If neither of these actions resolves your issue, you will need to contact customer service. When calling to report an issue, the following information will be beneficial in trying to resolve your issue as quickly as possible:

• Your wireless phone number.

• The city and country you are travelling in.

• Any error message that displays on your phone or that you heard when trying to place a call.
