use or you may need to activate it on your Sprint account.

Activation screen, which may be followed by a PRL Update screen and a Firmware
Update screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
● If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing

online or directly on your phone.
