Sprint said I would need to pay a deductible.. so I cracked the screen, took it in, and they replaced it for free. Hope this method helps anyone avoid paying the deductible. $7 a month is enough.

And there you have it. Another fine example of why the deductible is going up for the people who are actually honest and do things the right way.

Too many people have abused the system and this is what we get.

So instead of bothering to fix it correctly, you made a fraudulent insurance claim??

Everybody make sure you hit the thanks button for all the posters like this everytime you get hit for $100 when you make an honest claim.......

Is there any "hard" facts of when this goes into effect?

[jjday7]

for everything I have on my sero plan I am saving like $80.00 a month over what everyone else is paying on verizon and at&t so I don't think this is a big deal.

Lets say you get your phone and paid full price or even the upgrade price and two months later you lose it or it gets run over by a car. Is $100.00 to much to pay then. I don't think so. You could have no insurance and have to go buy another one from sprint for full price of $579.00

This affects the people that pay insurance for years and only file one claim. They are the ones that are being ripped off.

Yeah I agree with the above poster, if its $100 deductible, Im not laying out my $14 a month anymore. As it stands for one phone per year its $84 bucks plus a $100 deductible? Well you better break your phone in a year just so it only costs you $184. After that you are better off putting the money away yourself since next year you will have spent $268 dollars to replace your phone and I doubt your phone will be worth that much, let alone the fact that you are getting a refurb, not a brand new phone.

Does this break your SLA with Sprint?

Well dont f**k up your phone lololol

I always make it a point to avoid the A word at any cost but it doesn't surprise me at all.

It sucks because the level of service will not increase at all. You will still get ****ty refurbs.

Seems to me that Sprint is more lax with the claims anyway. As long as you don't chew on your phone or run it over with a 18 wheeler you can avoid asurion
