Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you received your SCP-200 by Sanyo in the mail or purchased it at a
Sprint Store, it probably has already been activated. All you need to do is

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. If none of these work, call
