Returning Cell Phones

You may return a cell phone within the first 30 days after delivery. When we receive your return, we'll issue the appropriate refund and send you an e-mail confirming the refund amount. For U.S. customers we will deduct the cost of return shipping from your refund if you use our postage-paid return label, unless the return is a result of our error. It typically takes up to two weeks to process cell phone returns after they arrive at our returns center. If you haven't received your refund after this period, please contact us so that we can further research the issue.

Returning a cell phone does not automatically cancel the service contract with your carrier. If you are returning a phone for a refund, you will need to contact the carrier directly to cancel your service plan.

Your cellular carrier will still charge you a prorated fee for the time you had the phone and service, including any additional roaming or long-distance fees and for any extra minutes you used. Also, activation fees are generally nonrefundable. For specific answers regarding service-plan cancellations, please contact your carrier directly. Carrier contact information is provided on the packing slip/invoice that is shipped with your cell phone/plan order.

"Pay As You Go" (Prepaid) Phone Cards

Pay As You Go (or prepaid) phone cards are not returnable, as we have no way to check their value. If the card is defective, we recommend that you contact a local authorized dealer, or the carrier directly.
