Introduction

Planning to return a signal booster or coverage device to T-Mobile? You can return it free of charge, and no restocking fees apply. However, the device must be returned within 30 days of initiating the return. If it is not returned within this timeframe, a replacement fee of up to $370 may apply. If the device is found to be damaged, a repair fee of up to $370 may also be charged. To avoid unexpected fees, return the signal booster on time and in good condition. Continue reading for step-by-step instructions on how to return your coverage device to T-Mobile.

Take it to the T-Mobile Store

If you have not yet initiated a return online, return the device to the nearest T-Mobile store. Just bring the device, and a T-Mobile staff member will inspect it for any damage.

Use the Store Locator on the T-Mobile website to find a store in your area. To locate a store, simply enter your location or ZIP code and click Search.

Scheduling an appointment in advance is recommended to avoid long wait times at the store. Use the phone number provided to contact the location directly.

Note: If you have already contacted Customer Care and were provided with a return label, you must complete the return by mail using the provided label.

Request a Return Label by Contacting T-Mobile

You can also return your T-Mobile signal booster by mail. To do this, contact T-Mobile Customer Support and request a return label. Use the Consumer Sales phone number, or request a callback if you are a Business customer.

Prepaid return labels are typically sent within 24 hours. After contacting T-Mobile, check your email inbox for the label. If you don’t see it, be sure to check your spam or junk folder as well.

Once you receive the label, print it and attach it to the return package. Don’t forget to include the Return Authorization slip inside the box. After packing the device securely, drop off the package at the nearest UPS store. Remember to return the device within 30 days of initiating the return to avoid additional fees.

If you can't call Customer Service, use the QR code to chat with a T-Mobile staff member who can assist you with the return label. Just scan the code provided in the screenshot and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: Customers may also use T-Mobile–compatible signal boosters from third-party manufacturers, which can help improve signal strength and data speeds. If you purchased one of these devices from a third-party retailer, such as Amazon or an electronics store, please refer to the store’s return policy for instructions on returns or exchanges. Devices purchased from third-party retailers cannot be returned to T-Mobile, as they were not bought directly from T-Mobile.
