Security & Safeguards · Procedure
Customers must report lost or stolen devices immediately to suspend service; delay without good reason may result in liability for unauthorized charges incurred before reporting, though disputed charges are suspended during investigation.
Details not recorded for this card
It's important that you notify us right away, so we can suspend your Service to keep someone else from using it. If you're a Postpay customer and your wireless device is used after the loss or theft but before you report it, and you want a credit for any charges for that usage, we're happy to review your account activity and any other information you'd like us to consider. Keep in mind that you may be held responsible for the charges if you delayed reporting the loss or theft without good reason, but you don't have to pay any charges you dispute while they are being investigated.
