ByThe Fastest Way To Get a Refund From Sprint—A Step-By-Step Guide
Sprint was one of the largest mobile network providers in the U.S. before being acquired by T-Mobile in April 2020. Even though the company has merged with T-Mobile, Sprint’s original refund policy still applies, and they still have their own customer support.
Key Aspects of the Sprint Refund Policy
Sprint’s refund policy covers devices and accessories purchased from:
- A Sprint retail store (now T-Mobile retail store)
- Sprint Telesales
- Sprint Website
If you cancel your Sprint service, you won’t be offered a prorated refund even if you do it in the middle of a billing cycle.
Did you buy a Sprint device or accessory from a third-party seller? You will have to contact the retailer to find out about their refund policy.
You have to return your device or accessory to the original place of purchase within 14 days to be eligible for a refund. The item needs to be in perfect condition and in original packaging.
Before returning the item, you need to contact Sprint customer support to deactivate your service and inform them about your return and refund request.
Here’s an overview of which Sprint items and services are refundable and which are not:
|
Refundable |
Non-Refundable |
|
|
You’ll be refunded to the original payment method. If you paid with cash while buying your device in one of Sprint/T-Mobile stores, you’ll be refunded in cash for purchases of up to $175. If the refund price is higher, you’ll receive a check.

If you purchased a device or accessory in one of the Sprint stores, you can return it to the nearest Sprint (now T-Mobile) store. Bring the original packaging, receipt, and other items that came with the device.
Request a Sprint Refund via Mail
Sprint provides pre-paid labels for return shipping in case you decide to send your device back via mail. Make sure to write down your return merchandise authorization number—you can find it on the shipping label under “RMA.” This number will be useful if you want to track the delivery.
You’ll have to contact the Sprint customer care agents first to claim a return shipping label.
Request a Sprint Refund From Third-Party Retailers
Sprint suggests contacting the customer support of the third-party seller you purchased the item from to find out if you’re eligible for a refund and how to request it because each retailer’s refund policy is different.
