First Things First
Read this before you do anything else:
Determine if your phone is pre-activated:
If you received your Sprint PCS PhoneTM in the mail or
purchased it at a Sprint PCS Center, your phone is already
activated and simply needs to be unlocked. See “How to
Unlock Your Phone” later in this section.
How to activate your phone:
There are two ways to activate your phone.
1. The fastest way is to call from your new Sprint PCS
Phone:
• Fully charge your battery.
• Turn on your Sprint PCS Phone.
• Press , , while in a Sprint PCS
Service Area. (In Southern California, call
1.800.PCS.6699 from any other phone.)
2. Another option is to call Sprint PCS Customer Care from
any phone other than your new Sprint PCS Phone. Call
us toll-free at 1.888.715.4588. (In Southern California,
call 1.800.PCS.6699.)
What you should know before you call:
The call typically takes about 30 minutes, but may take longer
at peak times. Your Sprint PCS Phone will be ready for use
approximately one to three hours after this call is complete.

What you should have handy:
• Your new Sprint PCS Phone

How to unlock your phone:
If you received your Sprint PCS PhoneTM in the mail or
purchased it at a Sprint PCS Center, your phone is already

ready to begin making calls.
If you can’t recall your lock code, try the last four digits of
either your Sprint PCS Phone number, Social Security
number or Tax ID number. If none of these numbers work,
your phone should be reprogrammed. Take it to the nearest
Sprint PCS Center for assistance.
