Asurion has yet to confirm this on their site as well:

(At least for sprint customers)

the rules are this-- tep is changing not esrp , the physical damage claims were changed last year, but the tep change is going into effect 4-19-2009 all pdas that need to be replaced because asurion needs to replace it the cost is 100$ on regular handsets it is 50$ like normal, we just caught wind of this on thursday, it was in our new playbook,

The old system was really silly. Either pay $84/yr ($7/mo) so you can swap a broken handset for free, or pay nothing, but pay $50 if you swap the handset. Duh.

Now at $100 at least you're only breaking even on the insurance after 14 months.

Still kinda duh unless you go through a LOT of handsets in a year.

the best part is people still compain when they had to pay the $50. without the insurance

I got the letter too...

But does this mean that if we have physical issues we no longer get the phone replaced?

The deductible for non PDA phones its going to remain at $50 only the PDA phones are going up to $100 deductible this begins on March 19.

what it takes to make a claim didnt change, just the price and you can do 3 exchanges in a 12month period is what changed

Messed up on the date that Insurance for Sprint changes. Its going to change as of April 19th. PDA's go up to $100 deductible and non PDA phones remain at $50 deductibles

the deductable is going up on smartphones 100.00 now instead of 50.00 you still have to pay insurance 7.00 per month. I recieved a notice in mail regarding this it stataes everyrthing and has a list of phones and deductables.

Random, but related question:

When you got the packet and read the included letter about the price hike not affecting most phones, did you have a feeling something was wrong? Right when I read that line, I though, "Oh ****ake mushrooms, they're upping the Touch Pro insurance."
