Setting up service on your new phone is quick and easy.

passwords, and contact Sprint for assistance with your
Sprint PCS Service.

Section 1A: Setting Up Service 3

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
activated, unlocked, and 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 refer to the Welcome to
Sprint brochure included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1. Press to turn the phone on.

2. Press Unlock (leftsoftkey).

Note: To selecta softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey

text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s
display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re
viewing and will not appear if there is no 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 wireless phone number or try 0000
or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Setting Up Service

4 Section 1A: Setting Up Service

Setting Up Your Voicemail

All unanswered calls to your phone are automatically
transferred to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or
turned off. Therefore, you will want to set up your voicemail
and personal greeting as soon as your phone is activated.

To set up your voicemail:

1. From standby mode, press and hold .

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

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

For more information about using your voicemail, see “Using
Voicemail”on page 179.

Section 1A: Setting Up Service 5

Sprint PCS Account Passwords

As a Sprint PCS customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your
personal account information, your voicemail account, and
your Sprint PCS Vision account. To ensure that no one else has
access to your information, you will need to create passwords
to protect your privacy.

AccountPassword

If you are the account owner, you’ll have an account password
to sign on to

www.sprint.com and to use when calling Sprint

Customer Service. Your default account password is the last
four digits of your Social Security number. If you are not the
account owner (if someone else receives the bill for your
Sprint PCS Service), you can get a sub-account password at

www.sprint.com.

Voicemail Password

You’ll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you
set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail”on
page 179 for more information on your voicemail password.

Sprint PCS Vision Password

With your SCP-3100 by Sanyo, you may elect to set up a
Sprint PCS Vision Password. This optional password
may be used to authorize purchase of Premium Services
content and to protect personal information on multi-phone
accounts.

For more information, or to change your passwords, sign
on to

www.sprint.com or call Sprint Customer Service at

1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
