Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] Activate or Root First?

[BIONICLE38]

I'm just wondering weather or not I should Root first or Activate the phone first.

I would like to root first and get everything setup to how I like it before I activate the phone at the end of the month.


Any feedback is highly appreciated c:

Once activated Virgin Mobile will download their software and change everything to their liking.
