Getting Started With PCS Service

Determine if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you received your phone in the mail or purchased it at a Sprint Store, it probably has been activated. All you need to do is unlock your phone.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Start Here Guide included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

Follow these steps to unlock your phone:

1.Press and hold to turn the phone on.

2.When “Password”appears on the display, enter your 4-digit password to unlock your phone.

Tip: If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either your Social Security number or PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If none of these work, call PCS Customer Solutions at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Activating Your Phone

To activate your phone, follow the directions in the Start Here Guide included with your phone.
