   1. From the home screen, tap the All Apps icon, then tap Sprint Zone.
   2. Swipe to the left to open Device Diagnostics.
   3. Look for Data Network:

      1. From Device Diagnostics, tap Data Network.
      2. Tap Update Profile.
      3. After the update is complete, tap OK.

   If resetting your connection to the Sprint network doesn't help, dial *2 on your phone, or dial 855-639-4644 to reach Sprint Prepaid Customer Care.
