I came back just over an hour later. They said they couldn't fix it and gave me a brand new 6700, right out of the box, right there. The rep even gave me the additional power supply when I asked nicely, all at absolutely no cost. I walked away with a brand new phone (which my wife promptly lost 2 days later in a motorbike crash.. I paid $50 to get a new-new phone after that, so, 2 new 6700s in just 1 week. The insurance guys must hate me  )
I'm not sure which insurance plan level we have. It's the one that costs $7/month, but considering I've so far had 2 new 6700s out of it, 7*2*24=$336+$50=$386 ($7 by 2 phones/month, 24 month plan, $50 deductable) which is still way less than I'd have spent buying 2 new 6700s already. |
The $7 a month plan is the TEP plan, (Total Equipment Protection) plan, Which is the best one sprint/Nextell offers... Basically it comes down to this:
If you broke it... Pay $50 for a new phone
If you didn't break it, But it sure is broken... New phone for free!
When you pay $500+ for a phone, An extra 7 bucks a month can go a long way in the future... :P
EDIT: Just noticed another thread which has a great rundown of what TEP covers... (EVERYTHING XD)
