When messaging Sprint PCS Vision SM and featuring one or more phone images, at least one of the featured images must be of a Sprint PCS Vision Phone with an approved screen image. When incorporating the Sprint PCS Picture Mail SM icon and showing the corresponding Sprint PCS Vision Phone, the phone shown must be Picture Mail-capable or the Sprint PCS Picture Mail SM icon must not be used.

When using a 3/4 angle shot, always show the side of the phone with the walkie-talkie button.
