Sprint Satisfaction Guarantee
For existing customers upgrading devices: new customers wanting to exchange devices and accessory purchases

No sweat. You've got options. As long as you're within the first 30 days of owning your new device or accessory, the Sprint 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee lets you either exchange your device for a different one or return it for a refund.
Exchange it for a different one. Just bring it back to the original point of purchase and we'll help you find a device or accessory that better meets your needs.
Return it for a refund and re-activate your old one. Want to go back to your old phone and plan? No problem, you can select the best plan to you from our current price plan options.

We will remove any credits or discounts received in exchange for your new contract term and restore you to your previous contract term and service plan (if available).
