I saw this coming 1 mile away. Actually.... 10 feet away. As soon as I signed up with sprint with a brand new mogul long time ago.. in a far far away galaxy, they offered me TEp for 7 dollars. I said.. 7 dalls? Wow.. not bad for a 500 dolla phone if I loose it. (wink wink). So I did... then I stated thinking... how many ppl have said "Opps.. i lost my 500 dalla ppc, send me a new one please for 50 dallas". Its way too easy for ppl to scam for parts you know. So I am not dissapointed for this will only weed out the scammers.

Honestly, I can understand why they are doing it.

I cant understand why... If they are going to do this then they need to reduce the monthly premium to $2 or something. $84 a year plus $100 a trade, $200 for "insurance". In 2 years you will have spent almost $400 on so called insurance, when you are better off just putting that money in a jar because in 2 years your phone wont be worth $400.

Because its easier. Its much easier to just charge everybody more to recoup their losses then to actually spend time and money cracking down on the abusers.

Afrigginmen brother! This is ridiculous, it was expensive paying $7.00 x 12 months + $50.00 already IMO!

Hmm. This does seem very expensive. They should have looked at a tiered approach, where the first replacement was 50 then more for subsequent replacements. I may drop this in a few months as I am now a sprint premier member and I am eligible for an upgrade in 11 months.

BTW. I bought my phone from best buy. Is their insurance comparable?

The psp is pretty much the same but your not going to get many replacements without raising an eyebrow.

I think ill insure my next phone with squaretrade and just keep the 3$ sprint insurance. squaretrade just gives you cash for your stuff.

Yea, they should have done that from day one & they never would have had the abuse problem in the first place.

Some of the ridiculous things you read on this site that people have had their phone replaced for are what caused this to happen.

How many posts have we seen here where people are on their sixth or seventh phone having them replaced for something that was never really a problem in the first place?? (or inventing a problem so they could get a free upgrade, posters on this site are some of the worst offenders & they laugh about it)
