Rants, Raves, and Praise → Re: [Rant] Sprint Cellphone Insurance Is a Joke

In general it sounds like cell phone insurance is ho-hum.

Sprint -- »shop2.sprint.com/en/stor ··· up.shtml $100 deductible

AT&T -- »www.wireless.att.com/lea ··· dule.pdf $125 or $199 deductible

Verizon -- »support.verizonwireless. ··· nce.html $99 deductible

T-Mobile -- »www.t-mobile.com/shop/ad ··· nsurance $130 deductible

Wow

So, wondering why I am already paying 100$ a year to Asurion and still have to pay for repairs. Are there any other phone insurance companies for non-apple users (who can use Apple Care or Asurion)

Off the top of my head ...

»www.ensquared.com/
»www.squaretrade.com/

However -- I usually just throw the money I'd pay for insurance in the bank. In this case I can replace the phone for $178 (less on ebay) »www.amazon.com/HTC-Andro ··· t+Evo+4G

So it's $178 - $100 deductible. That leaves $78. I'm not a big fan of insuring for a $78 loss.....

Thanks!

Squaretrade is very goof. Also, google "squaretrade coupon code". I did that one time, and got 30% off.

Strange, I paid AT&T $50 to send me a replacement Android after cracking the screen 2 months into having the phone. Screen was black after that. Replacement was here in 1 day. Was a minor drop. The replacement and all my other phones survived worse. I am careful, but 1 or 2 are inevitable. For me, the few $ a month well paid off.
