Getting Started With Sprint PCS 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.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Welcome to Sprint brochure included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1.Press and hold to turn the phone on.

2.Press any selection key.

3.Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes, the code is not visible as you type.)

Tip:

If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of your Sprint PCS Phone number, 1234, or 0000. If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888- 211-4PCS (4727).
