Finding your phone’s ESN
The ESN, or Electronic Serial Number, is an 11-digit
number written on the barcode sticker attached to
the phone. If you set up service using your Sprint PCS
Phone, the network automatically communicates the
ESN to Sprint. You’ll only need this number when
you’re calling Sprint to set up your service from a
phone other than your new Sprint PCS Phone. To nd
your phone’s ESN, remove the phone’s battery.
ESN: _________________________________________
After writing down the ESN, replace the battery and
turn your phone on by holding down the key
for a few seconds.
If you have a Sprint PCS Vision Phone, you can set up
a Sprint PCS Vision Password. This optional password
may be used to authorize purchase of premium
content and to protect personal information on
multi-phone accounts.
My Sprint PCS Vision Password is:
For more information or to change your passwords,
