Activate Your Hotspot

Before turning on your Hotspot:

If you purchased your Hotspot at a Sprint

Store, it is probably activated and ready

to use.

If you received your Hotspot in the mail,

and it is for a new Sprint account or a new

line of service, your Hotspot is designed to

activate automatically when you irst turn

it on. To conirm your activation, launch a

Web browser from a device connected to

your Hotspot.

If you received your Hotspot in the mail

and it is going to be activated on an

existing number (you’re swapping

devices), go to sprint.com/activate and

follow the instructions. When you have

inished, launch a Web browser from a

device connected to your Hotspot to

conirm your activation.

If your Hotspot is still not activated, visit

sprint.com/support for assistance. If you do not

have access to the Internet, call Sprint Customer

Service at 1-888-211-4727.
