Manipulate Phone Lease For Free

If you no longer want to have a lease, you can either return the phone to your carrier or pay off the balance and take complete ownership of the device. Therefore, unless you pay off the balance, a leased phone is not yours to sell.

Keeping a smartphone at the end of a lease term may require paying a buyout fee to purchase it. Leasing could save money over buying new phones, but it doesn't convey ownership, similar to leasing a car or an apartment.

Once the leasing term is up, you can either swap the old phone for a newer one (at likely a more expensive leasing cost), pay off the remaining cost of the phone immediately to own it outright, or switch to an installment plan to pay off the remaining cost that way.

?Sprint is now T-Mobile: Good news! We've forgiven the remaining balance for the installment billing agreement(s) below. You now own your device in full, so you can use its trade-in value when you upgrade to a new device. This change will be reflected on your bill within 1-2 bill cycles.?

The phone you were leasing must be returned in good working condition and undamaged. Own it, either by paying the purchase option price in one payment (contacting the online chat agent may be required for this) or in nine monthly installment payments.
