Modify Phone Lease For Free

No, you must pay off the phone. You cant just hand it back and leave.

Your mobile provider could cut your phone off so you're unable to make or receive calls. If you don't take steps to deal with the debt, your account will default and the contract will be cancelled. The mobile provider can then take action to recover the outstanding bill, following the normal debt collection process.

End of Lease turn-in If you decide not to keep the phone, you must turn it in at a T-Mobile store. You can then decide to start a new lease on a new phone, or talk with our team about other upgrade options, such as an Equipment Installment Plan (EIP).

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.

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. Upgrade AND own: upgrade to a new phone with your phone number.

What Happens If You Don't Return a Leased Phone? This depends on where you are with payments. Some carriers let you continue paying the fee to lease the phone. However, if you're late with your payments and have not returned the phone once your lease has expired, this information may end up on your credit report.
