Sprint ETF Out: Changes in Select States Lead to Gross Receipt Charges Increase

In the latest invoice being sent out to subscribers, Sprint is detailing changes to its Gross Receipt Charges, which have lead to a surcharge increase in the following states: AZ, DC, HI, MO, NE, NM, NY, PA, SD, RI, VA & WA. The Sprint Taxes and Fees portal has yet to be updated with the latest changes, with the last update being posted on December 29th of last year. 

With the latest increase to the Gross Receipt Charges, customers in the aforementioned states will be able to leave the carrier without penalty, as it constitutes a material change to the agreement. If the invoice is paid, it will constitute an acceptance of the surcharge increase and the opportunity to leave without ETF will be forfeit. Under the terms set forth by the CTIA, customers have 30 days from either the first notification or the increase being applied to cancel service without penalty.
