First things ﬁrst:

Call us to get activated.

Before you can use your new Sprint PCS Phone™

, you need

to open your Sprint PCS Account – in other words, activate your

phone. You do that by calling 1-888-715-4588 (in Southern

California, call 1-800-PCS-6699) from any phone other than your

new Sprint PCS Phone. Don’t worry. This call is on us.

What you should know before you call.

þIf a Sprint PCS Sales Representative has already activated your

phone, there’s no need to place this call. Instead, see “How to

unlock your phone” on the next page.

þThis call typically takes about 30 minutes, but may take longer

at peak times.

þYour Sprint PCS Phone will be ready for use about an hour

after this call is ﬁnished.

What you should have handy.

þYour new Sprint PCS Phone

þThe original packaging for your new phone

þYour billing address

þYour social security number or tax ID number

þYour driver’s license number

þPen and paper to write down your new

Sprint PCS Phone Number

During this call, a Sprint PCS Customer AdvocateSM will collect

your information as well as help you select your Sprint PCS

Service Features and a calling plan. Once you’ve made all your

selections, they’ll guide you through the activation process.

How to unlock your phone.

If you received your phone in the mail or if a Sprint PCS Sales

Representative activated your phone when you purchased it, you

need to unlock your phone before you can begin making calls.

Just follow these simple steps:

1. Press to turn on the phone.

2. Enter the four-digit lock code you selected when you placed

your order. (If you can’t recall your code, try using the last

four digits of your Sprint PCS Phone Number or the last

four digits of your social security number or tax ID number.

If that doesn’t work, you will have to take your phone to

the nearest Sprint PCS CenterSM for assistance. Sprint PCS

Customer CareSM cannot assist you over the phone because

your phone will have to be reprogrammed.)

How to get help.

If you need help with this or anything else, we hope you’ll

call Sprint PCS Customer Care at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

In Southern California, call 1-800-455-4551. You can also press

from your activated Sprint PCS Phone

(in Southern California, press

). A Sprint PCS Customer Advocate will answer (24 hours

a day) and be happy to assist you.

Oh, one more important detail: Our services are provided to you

under certain terms and conditions – all of which are listed in

the brochure included in the box your phone came in.

Welcome to Sprint PCS.

We’ve built our new network from the ground up to give you

what we believe you really want from a wireless phone company:

clear sound, private conversations and time-saving features.

But, Sprint PCS also has the potential to do something even more

far-reaching – to simplify your life. Our advanced technology is

designed to grow with your communication needs so that, one

day, you will be able to rely entirely on your Sprint PCS Phone

to stay connected.

This guide will introduce you to our technology and your new

phone through easy-to-follow instructions. However, we realize

you’d probably rather not spend your time reading a manual,

so we’re always happy to help you in person. Just stop by

any Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care at

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

Thanks for choosing Sprint PCS.
