Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you received your phone in the mail or purchased it at a Sprint Store,
it probably has already 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
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold to turn the phone on.
2. Select Unguard (right softkey).
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 either
your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If
none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS
(4727).
Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey
text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s
display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re
viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action
available.
