I turn the phone on it automatically needs a password. Does this mean that it's locked or it needs to be activated?

I would think that the keyboard is locked. I myself never got mine to turn on.

It doesn't require a passcode but the screen locks. You have to push a button on then swipe a green arrow across the front so there is a two step process to access the phone...no accidental dialings.

I did my activation from home. The book that comes with it is excellent. To activate all you have to do is go to the boost site and active a new handset. There is a lock on the phone but is easy to unlock cause it is a swipe lock. You touch the screen and take the lock off. I leave my lock on and just swipe when I am want to use it. I guarantee you will love this phone easy to operate and if you are computer literate you will have no problem with it Alan.

Just call Metropcs customer service and say you want to activate a phone. Theyd ask you if its a new line or an existing line. When you give them your password/pin (usually your dob) then theyd walk you through the rest. Typically that involves getting a number on the phone inside the battery compartment, then punching in some digits they tell you *556 or something like that, and you're good to go.

Supposedly. Every time I restart my phone, it warns me to press it on. It also says that my phone is not protected. I really don't believe it works right.

Normally it turns on automatically when you approach the vehicle. Sometime I have to touch the "on" button; or use the I-Phone settings to connect. But most times it automatically connects.

Sorry I actually had to get help with mines but i dont remember having to enter a password. You would connect it the same way as you would a bluetooth.

it's actually very easy ~ on the right side of the phone is the power button. if you hit that once, a whole menu pops up, and two of the options are a) lock keys and b) lock phone (you have to create a code) ~ if you want more info, just check the manual under "key lock" : ) hope this helps!!

The case shuts off the screen when closed and turns it on when it is opened. If you use a password, you will have to enter it when you open the case.

Press the dice botton on the bottom right of the phone, then settings, then phone, then auto lock, then press never and it will unlock all the time. Need more help? Just ask. It is a great phone, just try and see if this helps. I was fustrated in the beginning now i just love the phone.

Its an unlock phone, I bought one for my mom and she's in Haiti, so you can basically activate it anywhere.

No activation needed, I believe it is defective. Return it for a replacement.

I couldn't activate the phone because it's locked to AT&T; otherwise it's working

There is an option in settings where you have to activate it so that it locks with the case. I'm not sure which part in settings it is, I'm sorry :/ (might be in general where the auto lock option is)

The phone I bought was refurbished and was not locked. It was for my husband who lost his phone. He had not had a single problem with it.

Mine came with a hand-written (on a small piece of white paper) Unlock Code. It was the first thing the phone asked for when turned on, and worked perfectly fine in seconds. Im from Chile.
