Activate Your Phone
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, follow the onscreen instructions 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

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.
