activated and ready to use.

account or a new line of service, it is designed to activate
automatically. To confirm your activation, make a
phone call.
ⅷ If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a
new phone for an existing number on your account, you will
need to go online to activate your new phone.
Ⅲ From your computer’s Web browser, go to
www.sprint.com/activate and complete the onscreen
instructions to activate your phone.
When you have finished, make a phone call to confirm
your activation. If your phone is still not activated, or you

Sprint strongly recommends that you create a

against unauthorized access. Without a passcode,
anyone who has access to your handset is able to
access your voicemail messages.
