Device Activation Overview
Some Sprint Mobile Broadband devices may require activation (programming) prior to
use. If your device needs such an action, Sprint Smart View will inform you and start the
activation process when you connect the device. Although the activation process will vary
depending on the make, model and firmware version of your device, all activations fall
into one of the following categories:
Hands-Free Activation
Sprint Smart View will simply inform you that it is activating your device and periodically
give you updates about activation status. No intervention is required on your part.
One-Touch Activation
Sprint Smart View will display a popup window that indicates that your device requires
activation/programming and asks you if you would like to activate/program the device
now. Click Yes to activate your device.
If you choose to cancel activation at this time (by clicking No), you can restart activation
by disconnecting the device from your computer and then attaching it again. One-Touch
Activation can also be restarted by selecting Activate Device from the Tools menu, or by
clicking the Activate Device button on the Mobile Settings Page, depending on your device.
Activation Wizard
For some devices, Sprint Smart View will display an “activation wizard” when the device
is connected. Although such devices require a few more steps to activate than those that
use the techniques mentioned above, the wizard provides clear, step-by-step instructions
to guide you through the process.
Although you have the option to cancel the activation process at any time, you will not
be able to use the device for data connections until it has been successfully activated. To
restart activation after you have cancelled, just disconnect your device from your
computer and then attach it again. The activation Wizard is accessible from the Tools
menu by selecting "Activate Device". Anytime there are problems with your connection,
or for new service, you can go through this wizard. You may need a Social Security
number, Tax ID number, Billing address and/or driver's License number.
See the Activation Wizard Tutorial for more information.
