   Step 2: Navigate to the Boost Store Locator page at http://www.boostmobile.com/stores/.

   ,, Avoid visiting national retail stores such as Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, since these locations do not have the ability to activate Sprint phones for Boost Mobile. ,, You may be asked to provide your account details and the electronic serial number (ESN) on your Sprint phone.
   
   The ESN is normally located on a sticker inside the battery compartment or on the back of your phone. , If you are a new Boost customer, you may be charged a $10 activation fee to use your Sprint phone on a new Boost account.
   
   The process only takes minutes to complete, and your Sprint phone will now be “flashed” or activated on Boost Mobile’s network.
