2 Section 1A: Setting Up Service

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

Determining If Your Phone Is Already Activated

If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
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 call Sprint Customer
Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1. Press and hold S to turn the phone on.

2. Press Unlock (right softkey).

To select a softkey, press the button directly below the text

Note:

appearing on the bottom left and right of your display screen.
Softkey actions change according to the screen you are
viewing.

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,

the code is not visible as you type.)

If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits

Tip:

of either your Social Security number or phone number, or try
entering 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call
Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Setting Up Service

Section 1A: Setting Up Service 3

Setting Up Your Voicemail

1. From standby mode, press and hold 1.

2. Follow the system prompts to:

䡲 Create your passcode.
䡲 Record your name announcement.
䡲 Record your greeting.
䡲 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 passcode).

Voicemail Passcode

Note:

If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your
voicemail account, Sprint recommends that you enable your
voicemail passcode.
