Getting Started

Determining If Your Phone Is Already Activated

If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably ready to use. If you received your phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need to do is unlock it. If your phone is not activated, please call 1-866-398-0455.

Tip:	You must be in an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint PCS
	Network and the Nextel National Network when you first
	power up and unlock your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1.Press and hold eto turn the phone on.

2.Press Unlock (right softkey).

Note: To select a softkey, press the button directly below the text appearing on the bottom left and right of your display screen. Softkey actions change according to screen.

3.Enter your four-digit lock code.

Tip:	If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits
	of either your Social Security number or phone number. If
	neither of these works, call Nextel Customer Service.

When you power up your phone the first time, it performs a series of security checks. For example, it verifies the phone is Nextel-approved and the correct SIM card is installed. If you don’t pass the security checks, your phone displays messages and screen prompts showing what to do next. If you still encounter security messages, call Nextel Customer Service at 1-800-639-6111.
