If not, you get 30 days from Sprint and the remainder of the 1 year warranty is through the HTC. If you lose it or drop it in a pool, that's TEP regardless, but if it's an issue with hardware or software, that's warranty through Sprint/HTC. One caveat is if you buy it at BB or another retailer. But the majority of people here have gotten their phones from Sprint. I have used TEP once, 3 years ago. It was a nightmare. The phone they sent was a certified POS. The second one wasn't much better. I keep it so I can go right into my local store and just get my problems taken care of.

What does best buy have to do with this? I upgraded to my TP at BB, and still have my tep/etc. Also, the contract I signed at best buy did say TEP for $x/month with $x deductible, so it is arguable that $50 deductible is part of my contract.

And I didn't realize that HTC was listed as that other name, my bad.
Oh and I just did some quick math. I think when I started with Sprint, the insurance was $4 a month. Chance it could have been $5 but we'll go with $4 just to low ball my figures. That means I've paid around $432 in total for the 9 years i've been with sprint. But I know it was $5 for most of that time, and now it's what, $7? I've never had a single claim, but $hit, I feel like someone owes me something now. I'm not a mathmetician (or a spell-atition) but that's a lot of high quality phones! Just laughing about this, that's all!

$432 is a lot of high quality phones? No it isn't. Also, do you pay car insurance or homeowners insurance? You've paid a lot more for that, don't they owe you something too? Insurance isn't like a savings account where they should give you something in return, it's a system of everyone who is part of it to share the costs of other people's ****ups. That's how I look at it. You're helping replace someone else's phone (whether fraud or not), and in return if you need a new phone, you will be helped in return.
