probably activated and ready to use.
䢇If you received your phone in the mail and it is for a new
Sprint account or a new line of service, it is designed to
activate automatically. To confirm your activation,
make a phone call.
䢇If you received your phone in the mail and you are
activating a new phone for an existing number on your
account, you will need to go online to activate your
new phone.
䡲From your computer’s Web browser, go to
www.sprint.com/activate and complete the
onscreen instructions to activate your phone.
When you have finished, make a phone call to
confirm your activation. If your phone is still not
activated or you do not have access to the Internet,
contact Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727
for assistance.
Setting Up Your Voicemail
Your phone automatically transfers all unanswered
calls to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or
turned off. You should set up your Sprint Voicemail and
personal greeting as soon as your phone is activated.

dial pad.
2. Touch and hold .
3. Follow the system prompts to:
䡲Create your passcode.

voicemail, and make a call. You should fully charge
your battery as soon as possible. See “Charging the
Battery” on page 18 for details.

“Voicemail” on page 98.
Sprint Account Passwords
As a Sprint customer, you enjoy unlimited access to
your personal account information, your voicemail
account, and your data services account. To ensure
that no one else has access to your information, you
will need to create passwords to protect your privacy.
Account Username and Password
If you are the account owner, you will create an account
username and password when you sign on to
www.sprint.com. (Click Need to register for access? to get
started.) If you are not the account owner (if someone
else receives the bill for your Sprint service), you can
get a sub-account password at www.sprint.com.
Voicemail Password
You’ll create your voicemail password (or passcode)
when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your
Voicemail” on page 3 for more information on your
voicemail password.
Data Services Password
With your Sprint phone, you may elect to set up an
optional data services password to control access and
authorize Premium Service purchases.
For more information, or to change your passwords,
sign on to www.sprint.com or call Sprint Customer
Service at 1-888-211-4727.
Note: Voicemail Passcode
Sprint strongly recommends that you create a
passcode when setting up your voicemail to protect
against unauthorized access. Without a passcode,
anyone who has access to your phone is able to
access your voicemail messages.
