Your Sprint PCS Account Passwords
As a Sprint PCS customer, you enjoy unlimited access to
your personal account information, your voicemail
account, and your Sprint PCS Vision account. To ensure
that no one else has access to your information, you will
need to create passwords to protect your privacy.
If you are the account owner, you’ll have an account
password to sign on to www.sprintpcs.com and to use when
calling Sprint Customer Service. Your default account
password is the last four digits of your Social Security
number. If you are not the account owner (if someone
else pays for your Sprint PCS Service), you can get a sub-
account password at www.sprintpcs.com.
My Account Password is: _________________________
You’ll create your voicemail password when you set up
your voicemail.
My Voicemail Password is:_________________________

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

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 find your phone’s ESN,
remove the phone’s battery. (For more information about
removing and replacing your battery, see “Installing and
Removing the Battery” on page 23.)
ESN: _________________________________________
After writing down the ESN, replace the battery and
turn your phone on by holding down the key for a
few seconds.
