August 01, 2011 - From Aug. 1 through Aug. 31, Sprint is giving customers who originally opted out of its Total Equipment Protection (TEP) program at the time of purchase another chance to enroll. Sprint’s Total Equipment Protection provides coverage against loss, theft and damage.
The cost for TEP is $8 per month, per line of service. To be eligible in the TEP open enrollment, the customer’s device must be functioning and in the customer’s possession. Customers can enroll at

Johnson, president, Sprint Consumer Division. “TEP is an affordable way to help ensure devices are protected from expensive replacement costs due to unintentional damage, loss or theft.”
TEP offers comprehensive end-to-end coverage and the peace of mind resulting from an easy, hassle-free solution. TEP will help customers who subscribe enjoy the following benefits:
