Resetting and Locking Your Phone
Through SMS

When your phone is lost or stolen, you can erase your
important personal information (such as Contacts entries, call
history, and messages) and lock your phone by sending a
specially-formatted SMS message to your phone.

From your computer, sign on to www.sprint.com and send a
message to your phone (input your 10-digit wireless phone
number) in the following format:

\ \ RESET **<Passcode>** RESET
<Passcode> - your defined passcode.

The default passcode is your phone’s 11-digit ESN (Electronic
Serial Number), which is written on the package or on the phone
itself. The locked phone will display the following message: “If
found, please call Sprint Customer Service 1-888-211-4727.”
