charge the battery as soon as possible.

use or you may need to activate it on your Sprint account.
● If you purchased your device at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.

service, it is designed to activate automatically.

Activation
screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

existing number on your account (you’re swapping devices), you can activate on your
computer online or directly on your device.
Activate on your computer:
