the code is not visible as you type.)

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).

Note:Long backlightsettings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and

browser use affectthe battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip:Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
