Perhaps you are returning your current phone to Sprint for recycling, or maybe you are leaving Sprint for a new cell phone service provider. Whatever the reason, you will need to deactivate your phone to start the process. Deactivating your phone requires that you contact Sprint directly and inform the company of your request. Once you deactivate the device, it will no longer be useful to you.
