Activating Your Phone
ⅷ If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is
probably activated and ready to use.
ⅷ If you received your phone in the mail, it may activate
automatically when you first turn it on, or you may
need to perform a few simple activation steps.
1. Press to turn the phone on.
Ⅲ If your phone activates automatically, you will see
a brief message and your phone will enter
standby mode. Continue to “Setting Up Your
Voicemail” on page 4.
Ⅲ If you do not see an activation message, proceed
with step 2.
2. Press > Web. (There is no charge to use this
service during phone activation.)
3. To confirm your activation, make a phone call.
For assistance with phone activation, call Sprint
Customer Service at
1-888-211-4727 from any other
phone.
Note
Your phone’s battery should have enough charge to
turn on, find a signal, set up your voicemail, and make
a call. You should fully charge your battery as soon as
possible. See “Charging the Battery” on page 19 for
details.
Tip
Do not press while the phone is being activated.
Pressing cancels the activation process.
Note
You can also confirm your activation through the
phone’s menu. Press
Menu > Settings > Phone Info >
Phone Number. If your wireless phone number is
displayed, your phone is ready to use.
Tip
When calling Sprint Customer Service, you will be
asked for information printed under the battery. Power
the phone off and remove the battery prior to calling
customer service.
