- Explore eligibility options to [upgrade your device](https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/buy-a-t-mobile-device).
## [](https://www.t-mobile.com)Complete an exchange in-store
After diagnostics and troubleshooting have been completed, we will order a replacement device that will be sent to the [T-Mobile store](https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator) of your choice. We will notify you when the device arrives at the store.
### Prepare for your replacement
- Back up your device and reset it to remove personal information, which we can help you with at the store.
- Device color is not guaranteed. The replacement device may be refurbished and will carry a 90-day warranty, or the original warranty, whichever is longer.
- Keep SIM cards & accessories, including case, charger, back cover, SIM card, memory card, removable battery, stylus, and watchband or other accessories. (T-Mobile cannot retrieve them after devices are sent to the Return Center.)
### Replacement pick up & payment process
- Pay the warranty exchange fee including tax if applicable.
- Pick up your replacement device within 8 days from the order date, otherwise the order will be canceled.
- You must be listed as the [Billing Responsible Party or authorized user](https://www.t-mobile.com/support/account/billing-responsible-party-and-authorized-users), have a __photo ID__ and bring the __defective device__ to the store.
- The device will be inspected in the store for damage to help prevent unexpected fees.
- Once we collects your device, you cannot be charged an out-of-warranty or non-return fee.
- If the device is found to be damaged, we will cancel the exchange instead of charging you for the device and help you explore alternate replacement options.
- If you require an exception to this process, [Contact Us](https://www.t-mobile.com/contact-us) to speak with us for an alternate solution.
