How to request a RMA for Warranty Products
Need to request return merchandise authorization (RMA) for a product under warranty?
RMA processing is Point of Purchase
If you purchased your Sangoma device through a Sangoma Authorized Distributor or Reseller, the replacement of the defective unit will be processed by the Distributor from where the unit was purchased. To ensure an easy replacement transaction with your Distributor, Sangoma Support will work with you to determine that the unit is defective and authorize the RMA, then providing the Support Ticket information to the Distributor will make the transaction more efficient.
If you purchased your Sangoma device directly from Sangoma, the replacement of the defective unit will be provided directly by Sangoma. You will have to enter a Support Ticket to begin the process of RMA. Once Support has deemed the unit defective, the ticket will be automatically reassigned to the RMA Team who will advise on the next steps.
Sales Returns must go back through Sales, not through Support or RMA team.
Hardware Warranty
Sangoma Support provides a One Year Manufactures warranty on all products, except Telecom & Datacom cards which have an unlimited warranty. Warranty can be extended with the purchase of Gold and Platinum Support plans.
RMA process expects to have the defective unit returned, and then upon RMA Team receiving the defective unit, a replacement is shipped.
Advanced Hardware Replacement can also be purchased to authorize replacement of hardware prior to Sangoma receiving the hardware in return. AHR is not a next business day service.
