your account or how and where you purchased your phone, it may be ready to use or you may need to
activate it on your Sprint account.

● If you received your phone in the mail and it is for a new Sprint account or a new line of service, it
is designed to activate automatically.
When you turn the phone 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.
Follow the prompts to continue.

on your account (you are swapping phones), you can activate on your computer online or directly
