Getting Started With Sprint Service
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need
to do is unlock it. (See page 5.)
To determine your activation status:
ᮣ
Press >Settings > Phone Info > Phone#/User ID.
If My Phone# displays 000-000-#### and User ID displays
<Empty>, your phone is not yet activated.
Activating Your Phone
If your phone is not activated, please activate it by yourself.
To activate your phone:
1. Press to turn the phone on. (The activation display
will appear.)
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to activate your phone.
Ⅲ
If activation is successful, you will see “Your device
has been activated!”and your phone will be ready
to use.
Note: Be sure that you are in the Sprint National Network (not in
roaming mode) and your phone is receiving strong signals
(see page 17) before starting the activation.
