Replacement devices are often new but on occasion may be refurbished. While refurbished devices look and function just like new, they may have minor cosmetic flaws and contain non-original manufacturer parts and accessories. If the exact make and model is not available, your replacement device will be of like kind and quality.
Once you receive your replacement device, you must return the defective device. To simplify this process, postage-paid packaging will be sent along with your replacement device. Please return your damaged device within 30 days following reception of your replacement device. If we do not receive the damaged device, you will be charged an unreturned device fee.
You must unlock your mobile device. If your device is still locked when received (due to remote tracking activated on your mobile device or any similar application), you will be charged an additional locked device fee.
It is also recommended to back up your photos and other personal information, remove your SIM card (or delete the eSIM) as well as any memory card (if applicable), and perform a complete reset of your device.
