sprint TEP

[sprintgirl]

TEP- Total Equipment Protection open enrollment is going on now. The device must be taken in to a sprint store to be qualified i.e. checked for water damage/physical damage. The cost is $7/mo. and is worth it. If you make one claim the protection over 2 years has more than paid for itself. Most phones retail between $200-500 and insurance runs $84 a year (check my math)...or $178 per two year contract. There is a deductable for non-manufacturer defects such as lost/stolen, water damaged, broken screen etc. The deductable for smart phones is $100 and non-smart $50. It literally covers everything that could happen to your phone. You do have to ship/return the damaged phone upon receipt of replacement. If phone is lost or stolen the ESN will be blocked from all future activation (it becomes a paper weight). 3 claims can be made per callendar year.
