If approved, Cricket will send a replacement device, which may be new or refurbished depending on availability.
Most devices from Cricket Wireless come with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of purchase.
Select Cricket-branded phones include a Two-Year Worry-Free Warranty for extended coverage.
Refurbished devices are covered by a 90-day manufacturer’s warranty from the purchase date.
Typical Processing Time: The standard turnaround for a Cricket warranty resolution is 3 to 7 business days. Using the UPS Exchange method is the fastest route, often providing a replacement within 48 hours, while the Post Exchange method requires a full week for shipping and inspection.
Reason for Common Delays: The most frequent cause for delay is shipping the device without tracking, which prevents the Returns Center from verifying the intake. Additionally, delays occur if the find-my-phone/activation locks are not disabled, as the technicians cannot test or refurbish a locked device.
Helpful Tip to make the claim easier: Perform a factory reset before shipping. To protect your privacy and ensure the technicians can immediately begin their inspection, back up your data and wipe the device. This simple step prevents the Returns Center from having to contact you for passwords, which can shave several days off your total resolution time.
