If your device is damaged or you found the phone you reported lost, Asurion will send you the necessary packaging to return your phone to avoid the non-return fee. Based on the quality of the phone, the fee can range up to $1,500. Customers with stolen or lost phones should contact Sprint Customer Service within 60 days of the loss.
