activate it on your Sprint account.

it will activate automatically when you first turn it on.

Complete the Setup Screens
When you switch on the HTC U11 for the first time, or after you've done a factory reset, you'll need to set
it up. The setup screens help you set up certain features and preferences on your phone.
Before you do the setup, first back up your old phone using Android Backup Service if you want to restore
your apps and settings to HTC U11. To find out how to do the backup, see Using Android Backup Service
see Android Backup Service.
Note: You may be able to complete the setup screens before your phone has been activated on your
account.
