You can probably save yourself $10 [b:d605dfec1e]and[/b:d605dfec1e] easily learn your new SprintPCS 6035's unique lock codes by activating it online at:
www.sprintpcs.com.
Here's how to get the automated system at SprintPCS to show you your phone's "secret" permanent lock code (i.e., so you can easily reprogram it to work on Verizon or Alltel later on, if ever desired):
(1) After SprintPCS's automated activation system tells you to enter 111111 (which you should do as instructed), it will then tell you to enter a unique 6 digit code, but DO NOT do so!
(2) Instead, you need to click on the box that says something like "I'm having a problem, and need to try an alternate method to activate my phone."
(3) The automated system will then tell you to enter a different 6 digit code (which is the phone's permanent, unique lock code). Just
write down and save that second level (alternate) lock code before entering it and going on to complete the online activation process as instructed.
(It's also [i:d605dfec1e]possible[/i:d605dfec1e] to get a human being to give you the phone's lock code during an activation over a landline, but you HAVE TO convince him/her that the first code didn't work!)
GOOD LUCK!
