Sprint Spark LTE

The Sprint Spark enhanced LTE network provides your phone with wireless Internet access over greater distances than Wi-Fi and delivers data transfer rates of up to 60 Mbps. To connect your phone to Sprint Spark, you need to be in an area covered by the Sprint Spark enhanced LTE network.

For more information about the availability of Sprint Spark in your location, visit sprint.com/coverage.

Note: The availability and range of the network depends on a number of factors, including your distance to the base station and infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

Set Your Network Options

1.From home, Apps > Settings > CONNECTIONS tab > More networks > Mobile networks > Network mode.

2.Select CDMA, LTE/CDMA, GSM/UMTS, or Automatic. The phone will scan for the best available Sprint network and will automatically connect to it.

When your phone is connected to the Sprint Spark enhanced LTE network, the Sprint Spark icon appears in the Status Bar.

Note: The Sprint Spark network is self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your phone to connect to it.
