Activate Your Device

Activating Your Device

If you purchased your device at a

Sprint Store, it is probably activated

and ready to use.

If you received your device in the mail,

and it is a new Sprint account or a new phone number, your device is designed

to activate automatically. After the battery is charged and you turn the base 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. Wait three to ﬁve minutes for activation to take place and make sure the device has a full signal. If activation doesn’t work, try moving the device to a different location.

If you received your device in the

mail and it is going to be activated on an existing number (you’re swapping devices), go to sprint.com/activate

and follow the instructions. When you have ﬁnished, make a phone call to conﬁrm your activation.

If your device is still not activated, contact Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 for assistance.
