phone's serial number.

using the external number keypad. DO NOT
use the internal QWERTY keyboard.

3. You are now in the Programming menu.
Scroll down to "Activate Phone" and hit "OK”.
4. Your screen will say, "Do you want to activate
your phone now ?" Select "Yes".
5. Your phone will connect to the network, and
then the screen will say “Hi. Press Start to
continue the activation process”. Scroll
down to “Start” and hit “OK”.
6. Your phone will say “We’re getting your
phone number for you,” then your phone will
display your new Virgin Mobile phone
number. Write it down.
7. Scroll down to “Finish” and hit “OK” to
complete the activation process. Your phone
will turn off and back on by itself.
It might take a couple of hours to set up the
network. Once set up, your phone displays a text
message informing that you can start talking. Also,
it may take up to 4 hours for
VirginXL, Voicemail,
