Effective 5/19/2017
Terms of Service. Your service with Sprint Forward includes, but is not limited to, the terms of your service plan (including those outlined below and those which may be presented or provided in other materials) and the most recent Sprint Forward General Terms and Conditions of Service available at www.sprint.com/prepaidlegal (collectively, “Agreement”). Carefully read all of the parts of your Agreement including the MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION and CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION.
Activation of Services/Account: You are prepaying for services before you use them, and you will not receive a bill. Activation of service and account will occur when you have selected a plan and added sufficient funds to your account balance. Your telephone number is activated at that time. Once active, the number is eligible for porting. Service charges are not refunded or prorated if service is terminated or modified before your next payment date. State, local sales taxes and fees may apply when adding funds to your account. Coverage not available everywhere and varies by service. Visit sprint.com/prepaidcoverage for details and the latest coverage info. Our services will only work with our devices. Not all services are available with all devices or on all networks. Not all services available on 4G LTE and coverage may default to 3G/1xRTT where 4G LTE is unavailable.
Nature of our Service. Our rate plans, customer devices, services and features are not for resale and are intended for reasonable and non-continuous use by a person using a device on the Sprint network. The primary use of your device must be for domestic purposes within the Sprint-owned network and for other purposes outlined in our offers. Domestic means use in the 48 contiguous states, Hawaii, DC, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Sprint Forward may limit or terminate service if you move outside of the Sprint-owned network. Prices, offers and programs are subject to change without notice, may not be available with all devices or in all markets/retail locations, or combinable with other promotions/options. While on the Nationwide Sprint Network, the availability of international calling and/or texting services may depend on your plan, and additional charges may apply with the latest rates found at sprint.com/prepaidinternational. Unused services, including, but not limited to, plan minutes, messages or data allotments, expire at the end of each plan cycle or when a customer switches service plans and do not carry forward. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next whole minute. Switching between Sprint Forward service offerings may result in a new prepaid account. Not all features available on all phones. Depending on your service plan, certain applications that are preinstalled on your device may not be available or operational. Examples of these applications include, but are not limited to, Sprint TV, GPS and Mobile Hotspot applications. You also may not be able to purchase other subscription-based third-party content from application stores (e.g., the Google Play store), which will be taken from your cash balance. Certain payment options may be restricted or not available.
Unlimited Use Plans. Unlimited does not mean unreasonable. If you subscribe to rate plans, services or features that are described as “unlimited”, you should be aware that such unlimited plans are subject to the Prohibited Network Uses detailed below.
Prohibited Network Uses: To ensure that the activities of some users do not impair the ability of our customers to have access to reliable services at reasonable costs, you may not use our services in a manner that is unlawful, infringes on intellectual property rights, or harms or unduly interferes with the use of Sprint's network or systems. Sprint reserves the right, without notice or limitation, to terminate, end, modify, disconnect or suspend service if an individual engages in any of the prohibited voice or data uses below or if Sprint, in its sole discretion, determines action is necessary to protect its wireless networks and/or customers' service experience from harm or degradation. Examples of Prohibited Voice Services Uses: Voice services are provided solely for live dialogue between, and initiated by, individuals for personal use & as otherwise described in this policy. Voice services may not be used for any other purposes including, but not limited to: conference calling, monitoring services, transmission of broadcasts or recorded material, interconnection to other networks, telemarketing, autodialed calls, other commercial uses or connections that do not consist of live dialogue between two individuals. We will presume certain usage, dialing, or calling patterns indicate that you are not using for your personal use and we reserve the right to suspend, terminate or restrict your services. Examples of Prohibited Data Uses: Data services are intended to be used for web surfing, sending and receiving email, photographs and other similar messaging activities, and the non-continuous streaming of videos, downloading of files or on line gaming. Our data services may not be used to disrupt email use by others using automated or manual routines, including, but not limited to "auto-responders" or cancel bots or other similar routines; to transmit or facilitate any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, telemarketing, promotional materials, "junk mail", unsolicited commercial or bulk email, or fax; or for activities adversely affecting the ability of other people or systems to use either Sprint's wireless services or other parties' Internet-based resources, including, but not limited to, "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user.
Quality of Service Practices (QoS): To help protect against the possibility that customers may occupy an unfair share of network resources, unlimited data plan customers who use more than 23GB of data during a payment cycle will be prioritized below other customers for the remainder of their payment cycle, in times and locations where the availability of network resources is constrained. Affected unlimited data plan customers may notice temporary changes in the performance of certain applications when they are on constrained sites as compared to other users especially if such affected users are engaged in data-intensive activities. Performance will return to normal when the cell site is no longer constrained or the customer moves to a non-constrained location. Affected unlimited customers will still be able to enjoy unlimited quantities of data without overage charges or data caps even if their usage exceeds the threshold for Sprint’s QoS practices. In addition, Sprint may adjust periodically the applicable threshold for Sprint’s QoS practices. See sprint.com/networkmanagement for additional details.
Plan Throughput Limitations and Performance: With certain plans, throughput data speeds will be slowed when data usage exceeds the selected plan's applicable data threshold(s). During this time, data access will continue but maximum speeds will be limited to 2G speeds of 128Kbps or below for the remainder of plan cycle, resulting in slower page loads, downloads, and degraded streaming media. Data speeds will be restored at the beginning of a new plan cycle, or after a plan cycle restart. Data usage can be monitored online in ‘MyAccount'. For more information on Sprint's network management tools, policies and other related information, please visit sprint.com/networkmanagement.
Adding Funds to Your Account: Funds can be added to accounts using one of Sprint Forward's Payment methods (cash, credit, debit cards or refill cards). A service convenience fee may be charged for real-time-replenishment (“RTR”) transactions at some retailers. Customers can add a maximum of $300/transaction to their accounts until the customer's total cash balance reaches $400. Once you have reached the $400 maximum cash balance threshold, you will no longer be allowed to add any further funds to your account. Account funds cannot be transferred between Sprint Forward accounts. Adding funds through Sprint Forward customer service may result in processing fees.
Payment Date & Account Active Period Information: You will have 120 days after your last payment to add money to your account to prevent cancellation, loss of all funds comprising your cash balance and your telephone number. Lost funds are nonrefundable. Recurring Plans: Funds are due on your payment date, which is based on the day when you purchase, restart, switch to or activate your plan. Voice, data and message allotments will be restored when you make a payment. Payments for plan services do not include separately priced services, including, but not limited to, international services, wireless entertainment & downloads.
Advance Payment: When you add funds that equal or exceed your monthly payment amount during your monthly cycle, we will deduct your next monthly recurring charge from your cash balance. Accounts must be current and not in suspended status for Advance Payment. You may only pay one monthly recurring charge in advance. You can cancel the Advance Payment up to an hour before your next monthly recurring charge is due. Advance Payment may not be available with all products, services and offers. If you do not have sufficient funds available in advance to make a payment, we will process payment using other funding sources, including, but not limited to, your cash balance or credit/debit cards for AutoPay customers.
Family Plans: If the Primary line is terminated prior to the next MRC date, the service of all the Secondary lines will continue uninterrupted until the next MRC date for the Family Plan. At that time, the Secondary line will become the Primary line for the Family Plan and assume the payment responsibility for all lines.
Messaging (text, picture, video, email and IM): Domestic and international messaging rates are subject to change. Standard message rates are charged when a message is sent or received, whether read or unread, viewed or unviewed, solicited or unsolicited. There is no guarantee messages will be received and we are not responsible for lost or misdirected messages.
Directory Assistance: $1.99/call plus standard airtime rates. Three-Way Calling: Available with select phones. Standard airtime rates apply for both calls while the parties remain on the line.
Plan Add-Ons: Available only for monthly plans and are valid until the term specified or until the applicable add-on’s service allotment (e.g., data or minutes) is depleted, whichever occurs first. Recurring add-ons will remain on an account until removed.
Off-network Roaming: The availability of domestic roaming services is dependent on your device and plan. Not all services and plan features (i.e., data, text, etc.) may be available when roaming. Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service. Domestic roaming coverage, services and rates are subject to change at any time without notice.
International: International services may be extra and may be dependent on your device and service plan. International long distance rates are subject to change at any time without notice. Visit sprint.com/prepaidinternationalregularly for changes including, but not limited to, included countries, select international cities and current rates. Usage initiated near country borders may be carried by a cell site in a neighboring country and billed at that country's rates. International services/roaming while outside of the Nationwide Sprint Network are not available.

These recurring charges and all other charges to your account are nonrefundable.
Sprint Forward may discontinue processing of recurring charges if Sprint Forward is unable to secure funds from the credit/debit card or PayPal account for the payments you have authorized due to, but not limited to, insufficient or uncollected funds in the account or insufficient or inaccurate information you provided.

(Non-Sprint Forward) Terms & Conditions |

Your Service Agreement with Sprint includes, but is not limited to, the terms of your service plan (including those outlined below and set forth in the services guide and materials) and the most recent Sprint Terms and Conditions of Service ("Ts and Cs"). Carefully read all the parts of your Service Agreement with Sprint, including the MANDATORY ARBITRATION Provision and CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION set forth in the Ts and Cs.
**Monthly charges exclude taxes & Sprint Surcharges [incl. USF charge of up to 18.8% (varies quarterly), up to $2.50 Admin. & .40 Reg. /line/mo. & fees by area (approx. 5-20%)]. Surcharges are not taxes. See sprint.com/taxesandfees.
Service Agreement: The Service Agreement is provided to you at activation. There are several parts to the Service Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Subscriber Agreement you sign or accept, the detailed plan or other information on Services we provide or refer you to during the sales transaction, and any confirmation materials we may provide you.
General Terms: If you agree to maintain service for a minimum Term, the Term begins when you accept the Subscriber Agreement (e.g., signature, activate service, use phone, etc.). You may terminate any line of service before its Term ends by calling us, however you will be responsible for an EARLY TERMINATION FEE of up to $350/line for Advanced Devices & up to $200 ETF/line for other devices for each line/number terminated early — except for terminations consistent with our return policy. The ETF is prorated and is calculated by taking the months remaining on your Service Agreement times $20 for Advanced Devices, with a maximum of $350, and minimum of $100. For all other devices, the prorated ETF is calculated by taking the months remaining multiplied by $10 with a maximum of $200 and minimum of $50. Payment of the ETF does not satisfy other obligations owed to us, including Term commitments with other lines or service/equipment charges. If you agree to maintain service for a minimum Term, upon expiration of the Term, this Agreement will automatically continue on a month-to-month basis unless you contact us to inform us of any changes, including cancellation. If there is no minimum Term associated with the service plan you elect, this Agreement will apply and automatically continue on a month-to-month basis unless you contact us to inform us of any changes, including cancellation. We reserve the right to cancel offers early or extend offers without notice. Offers are subject to credit approval. An account spending limit may apply — ask for specific amount. Spending limit accounts are subject to a fee of $7.99/mo. per account. The fee will be waived for accounts enrolled in recurring AutoPay and electronic billing (eBill). Monthly service plan charges accrue even if your service is turned off for exceeding your spending limit or non-payment. If payment is not received in full by the due date on your bill, late fees may be assessed, in amounts up to the maximum amount permitted by law in the state of your billing address. A detailed bill provides comprehensive call details to customers, including, phone numbers dialed and received, call lengths, call types and call times. A $1.99/mo. per account fee will apply if you choose to receive a paper invoice with detailed billing. To avoid this fee, you can elect to receive Sprint's ebill or summary format of the paper invoice. Detailed billing information is available for all customers by visiting your Sprint account online. Additional fees may apply for phone number changes. Offers may not be available everywhere, combinable with other promotions/options, or available to business customers. Coverage is not available everywhere and varies by service — visit www.sprint.com/coverage for additional details. Monthly charges exclude taxes, Sprint Surcharges [incl. USF charge (varies quarterly), cost recovery and administrative fees, & state/local fees by area (e.g., in some areas up to 16% but in most areas less than 3%)]. Sprint Surcharges are not taxes or gov't-required charges and are subject to change. Up to a $30 activation fee may apply to new activations, certain service plan changes or upgrades of phones or devices. A reconnect fee of up to $30 may apply to reestablish service on all accounts that have been disconnected for nonpayment or discontinuous of service. A deposit, in most instances between $50 and $750 (but sometimes up to $1000), may be required per line to establish service. If you provide your credit and debit card information to us at any time, you authorize us to charge your cards until successful for all delinquent amounts you owe us. Sprint may obtain updated information from card networks, issuers or other third-party sources. Our services will only work with our phones — not all services are available with all phones or on all networks. We may block network access or refuse activation for devices that are incompatible with our network or for any reason that protects our customer's or network's interests including, but not limited to, devices that are lost, stolen or terminated or suspended for nonpayment of service or device. Password protecting your wireless device is essential to securing your data and privacy. Review your device guide to learn more about password and security settings. Monthly service charges are not refunded or prorated if service is terminated or modified before your billing cycle ends. All phone usage, including incoming/outgoing calls, incurs charges unless specified otherwise. Except where specified, included plan minutes are not good for off-network roaming calls. International roaming rates for voice and data services are additional and will vary. On calls that cross time periods, minutes are generally deducted or charged based on the call start time. Unused monthly plan minutes do not carry forward. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next whole minute. We may, but are not required to, decline usage on your line of service to protect against fraudulent or unlawful activity. Monthly add-ons or plans must remain active on the line of service for a full month after activating.

Wi-Fi Calling: Wi-Fi Calling is available on select devices. Certain services may be incompatible or not available with Wi-Fi Calling and certain apps may be removed from your phone. You must reside in the U.S. and your primary usage must occur on our U.S. network. You are not authorized to use the service in countries where Wi-Fi Calling is prohibited by law. Use of VPNs to avoid international calling restrictions is a breach of terms and conditions and is not supported. 9-1-1 service through Wi-Fi Calling may not be available or may be limited compared to traditional 9-1-1 service due to circumstances including, but not limited to, relocation of equipment, internet congestion or connection failure, loss of electrical power, delays in availability of registered location information and/or other technical problems. Always be prepared to report your precise location to emergency responders. See sprint.com/wifi for add'l details.
Text to 9-1-1: ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO CALL 9-1-1 WHEN POSSIBLE. Where available, text-to-911 service may allow standard SMS text message communication with a 9-1-1 operator. Be prepared to provide your precise location to the 9-1-1 operator as it will not be automatically provided with your text-to-911 message. Delivery or receipt of text-to-911 messages is not guaranteed and messages may fail, be delayed or be out of sequence. Text-to-911 is only available in certain limited areas where it has been requested and implemented by local public safety officials. The service is not available when roaming and may be limited or unavailable by a number of circumstances, including, but not limited to: wireless network coverage, network congestion, power outages, the 9-1-1 operator's ability to receive and respond to text messages, and/or other technical limitations.
Call Blocking: Important Information about E911 impacts on Call Blocking. After dialing 911, inbound call blocking will be removed from the subscriber for 24 hours to allow for public safety to place a call-back to the customer. Other inbound calls will be allowed for this time period. In the event a 911 call is dropped or disconnected, public safety may not be able to place a call-back to the customer. Removing in-bound call blocking requires processing time. Sprint will make a good faith effort to complete the removal of inbound blocking, and will cooperate with public safety to remove inbound call blocking upon request. Call blocking will be restored after the 24-hour period. The customer will not be notified when the block is removed nor reinstated as a result of a call to 911. If you do not agree to the terms of Sprint's in-bound call blocking procedure, in-bound call blocking will not be provided.
