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 use another phone to call 
Sprint Customer Service at 
1-888-211-4727
.
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1.
Press and hold 
e
 to turn the phone on.
2.
Press Unlock (right softkey).
3.
Enter your four-digit lock code. 
When you power up your phone the first time, it performs a 
series of security checks. For example, it verifies the phone is 
Sprint-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 Sprint Customer Service. 
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.
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.
Tip:
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits 
of your wireless phone number. If this doesn’t work, call 
Sprint Customer Service.
