TruConnect Free Government Phone Replacement:
If you are a participant of Lifeline Assistant and if TruConnect is your provider then here is the policy for the TruConnect free phone that you have received.
If you have received a defective phone under TruConnect Lifeline phone then you can return it within 90 days. You have to ship your phone to the company's mentioned address at your own expense and the inspection team from the company will determine whether you are eligible for a full replacement for free or at a cost.
Now regarding which phone you will get as a replacement for the TruConnect phone, that purely depends upon the availability and you may not get the same model as your earlier one. When you are looking for a replacement you should call the customer care service department and even when you get a replacement device you will receive a call from them indicating the address to which the device will be sent.
TruConnect Replacement Phone Policy
The above-mentioned guide is related to free phones provided under Lifeline Assistant but if you have purchased a phone or upgraded a phone then read here.
Neither TruConnect manufactures any phone nor does it offer its own branded phones so in such a case TruConnect is not responsible for any defects on your phone because it's a cell phone service provider, not a device manufacturer. So if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone then please contact Samsung customer care and if you have an Apple iPhone then please contact the Apple customer department or visit any nearby retailer. Now regarding the warranty, it depends from brand to brand. Most of the manufacturers offer 1 year or 2 years warranty on the device model and up to 6 months or 1 year on the mobile phone components like battery, case, and charger. If it's physical damage then it's a waste to apply for a device replacement because most manufacturing companies do not provide phone replacement when your device is damaged by you(sudden drop or water damage).
How to Submit TruConnect Phone Replacement Complaint Request
If you have issues with your free phone provided by Tru Connect then there is how you can submit a request and get a device replaced -
