Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you
need to do is unlock it.
If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Welcome
to Sprint brochure included with your phone.
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock(left softkey).
Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the
softkey text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your
phone’s display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen
you’re viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action
available.
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security
purposes, the code is not visible as you type.)
Tip:If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of
either your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone number or try 0000
or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at:
1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
Section 1A: Setting Up Service 5
Setting Up Your Voicemail
All unanswered calls to your Sprint PCS Phone are

To set up your voicemail:
1. Press and hold .
2. Follow the system prompts to:
Create your pass code
Record your greeting
Record your name announcement
Choose whether or not to activate One-Touch
Message Access (a feature that lets you access
messages simply by pressing and holding ,
bypassing the need for you to enter your pass code)
Note: The voicemail setup process may vary in certain Affiliate areas.
