Learn about Early Termination Fee

Last Updated: Feb 07, 2012

Thank you for choosing Sprint. We are committed to offering you big savings on our services and hottest devices with two-year contracts.


If you've entered into a two-year contract after Sept. 9, 2011 and choose to terminate or cancel your service before your contract ends, you will be charged an early termination fee of up to $350/line for Advanced Devices & up to $200/line for all other devices. No early termination fee applies for cancellations in compliance with Sprint's Return Policy.


Advanced Devices include:

    1. Smartphones - See all smartphones
    2. Tablets - Samsung Galaxy Tab™, HTC EVO View 4G™, ZTE Optik™
    3. Netbooks - Dell™ Inspiron™ Mini 10 (1012)
    4. Notebooks - Dell™ Inspiron™ 11z
      • (Wi-Fi only devices do not require a contract and are not included)

The early termination fee 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 times $10 with a maximum of $200 and minimum of $50.

Use the charts below to calculate your exact early termination fee. If you are cancelling multiple lines on your account, calculate the remaining number of months on each line, locate the corresponding amounts and add them together to reach your total. If you entered into a contract prior to Sept. 9, 2011, use the other devices chart to calculate your exact early termination fee.
