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.
