Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you received your VI-2300 by Sanyo in the mail or purchased it at a

is unlock your phone.

Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re viewing and will not
appear if there is no corresponding action available.
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes, the
code is not visible as you type.)
Tip: If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either your
Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If none of these
work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
