STEP 1: Determine where your Lively was purchased

If you purchased your Lively directly from GreatCall, your device is already activated and you may skip to STEP 3.

OR

If you purchased your Lively from any other retailer, such as Amazon, Fry's Electronics, Rite-Aid, Sears, or Walmart, your device is not yet activated and you will need to continue to STEP 2.
