Activating Your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB
Modem
The final step to making your USB modem operational is
configuring it to use your account.
If you purchased a preactivated USB modem, this step is not
necessary. Once the application software and driver are installed,
the USB modem is ready for use.
Otherwise, you must use the Sprint Activation Wizard to activate
and configure your account. Activation involves phoning Sprint
Customer Service, exchanging information and entering your
account information into the appropriate fields in the wizard.
Tip:
For an overview of account activation and configuration, see
“Activating and Using Sprint PCS Service” on page 9.
