Activate Your Phone
• If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it
is probably activated and ready to use.
• If you received your phone in the mail, and it is a
new Sprint account or a new phone number, your
phone is designed to activate automatically when
you first turn it on. You will see a Hands Free
Activation screen at startup. When it’s finished,
touch OK to continue. To confirm your activation,
make a phone call.
• If you received your phone in the mail and
it is going to be activated on an existing
number (you’re swapping phones), go to
sprint.com/activate and follow the instructions.
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.
