Pay for an Android Market application on your monthly Sprint bill

Last Updated: Apr 28, 2012

When you purchase an Android application from the Android Market, you can choose to have the cost appear on your monthly Sprint bill instead of paying by credit card at the time of purchase.

There is a $50 limit on the total amount of transactions made to your Sprint bill per billing cycle. This $50 limit does account for refunds processed from the Andriod Market - Any refunds processed will be deducted from the total bill.

To put your Android Market purchase on your monthly Sprint bill:

  1. Access the Android Market on your phone and search for the application you want to purchase
  2. On the application description screen, tap Buy
  3. Tap OK to accept permissions for the application
  4. On the Google checkout page, tap the Select payment method drop down
  5. Select Bill my Sprint account and tap OK
  6. On the Sprint Billing Agreement screen, verify your address is correct; if you need to change it, tap the pencil icon next to the address listed
  7. Review the Terms of Use and tap Accept
  8. You will return to the Google checkout page; tap to check the box to confirm you agree to the payment terms of service
  9. Tap the Buy now button to complete the purchase and download the application

After you make your purchase, you will receive an email from Google to the Gmail account set up on your phone. This email provides specific vendor support contact options, the Google refund policy, and the total amount of the transaction.



Note: Refunds of content purchased in the Android Market are subject to the terms and policies of the third-party content provider or vendor selling the product. Even if you place the charge on your Sprint bill, Sprint is only the billing agent and does not refund content purchased through the Android Market.


Normally, refunds from within the Android Market application are available within the first 15 minutes of purchase, and any requests for content support and refunds after 15 minutes must be made directly to the vendor identified on the purchase notification email. Note: This policy is subject to change at the discretion of the vendor.


You can view status of your refund requests by going to checkout.google.com and entering your Gmail address and password. The decision to provide a refund or not is specific to the policies of the identified vendor, and based on the terms and services you agreed to at time of purchase, the vendor may not provide a refund.
