When you call Sprint, Sprint Customer Service will help you select your service
plan and guide you through the activation process. They will also provide you with
this information:
䢇 Your card’s activation code (gives you access to configure the account)
䢇 Your card’s phone number (MDN)
䢇 Your card’s MSID (Mobile System ID) code, used for WLNP (Wireless Local
Number Portability) and to determine whether you are “home” or “roaming”
To activate your card and account:
1. From the Extras item on the Sierra Wireless Watcher menu, choose Activation.
2. In the “Activation Assistant” window, click Continue.
3. Call Sprint at the appropriate number displayed in the Activation Assistant.
4. Follow the instructions of the account representative to activate your card.
5. To complete the activation process, enter the information (from the account
representative) into the fields on the screen.
6. Continue through the Activation Assistant, until the “Success!” window is
displayed. Click Finish.
After Sprint sets up your account on the network, your card is activated.
7. From the Extras item on the Sierra Wireless Watcher menu, choose Data
Provisioning.
8. In the “Data Provisioning” window, click OK.
The card then retrieves the updates to your account. Watcher Lite will display
