Claiming a Sprint refund
Sprint has agreed to settle allegations that Sprint customers may have been charged for unauthorized third-party services on their wireless bills by companies providing Premium SMS (PSMS) services such as ringtones, wallpapers, and text message subscriptions for horoscopes and celebrity gossip. The settlement does not relate to direct carrier billing (DCB) or Google Play charges through Sprint.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR REFUNDS?
Current and former Sprint postpaid and prepaid customer account holders (Sprint customers) who paid for unauthorized third-party PSMS charges after July 1, 2010 and who did not receive a credit for those charges may apply for refunds.
Sprint postpaid customers are eligible for full refunds of unauthorized charges that were not previously refunded by Sprint.
Sprint prepaid (Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, Sprint Prepaid, and Assurance Wireless) customers are eligible for a one-time refund of $7.00 for unauthorized charges that were not previously refunded. Please note that actual refund amounts may be lower depending on the total number of claims submitted in this case.
