● 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 for a new Sprint account or a new line of service, it
is designed to activate automatically. When you turn the phone on for the first time, you should see a Hands Free Activation
screen, which may be followed by a PRL Update screen and a Firmware Update screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
● If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing number
on your account (you’re swapping phones), you can activate on your computer online or directly
on your phone.  Activate on your computer:

Get Started 12
To confirm activation, make a phone call. If your phone is still not activated, visit sprint.com/support for assistance. If you do not have access to the Internet, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 from another phone.
Tip: Do not press the Power key while the phone is being activated. Pressing the Power key cancels the activation process.
Note: If you are having any difficulty with activation, visit sprint.com/support.

Note: Screens may vary based on the activation status of your phone.
Wi-Fi: By default, your phone prompts you to use Wi-Fi when accessing data services. Tap a
Wi-Fi access point to connect to it, or you can continue setup using your phone’s connection to the wireless network.
