Wireless Backup
This feature allows you to back up all of your contacts to the
Sprint Web site and restore them if your phone is lost, stolen,
damaged, or replaced.
To subscribe to the wireless backup service, you will need to
purchase a license to use the wireless backup service via the
Sprint vending machine, accessed through the WAP browser
on your phone. The license expires after a set period of time
and must be renewed regularly. As part of the initial
subscription process, a random wireless backup password is
generated. The randomly-generated password will be sent to
the handset as an SMS text message. (Subscribe launches the
subscription process. If you are already subscribed to wireless
backup service, Unsubscribe will be displayed.)
