Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably

activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your

phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you

need to do is unlock it.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Welcome

to Sprint brochure included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1. Press to turn the phone on.

2. Press Unlock (left softkey).

Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the

softkey text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your

phone’s display screen. 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

or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at:

1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
