Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you received your phone in the mail or purchased it at a Sprint Store,

it probably has already been activated. All you need to do is unlock

your phone.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Start Here Guide

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 PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If none of these work,

call PCS Customer Solutions at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
