ASURION TEP replacement program changes to $100 deductible

[igot5onitt]

I've had the insurance for some time now. When I had the 6700 I use to drop and crack the screen all the damn time. For awhile, I would claim it stolen and pay a $50 deductible. As recently as last month, I received a Mogul refurb (finally), but it ran extremely slow and so I wanted to replace it. 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.

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

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.

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

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

If there is a manufacturer's defect, will we still have to go through Assurion for $100?
The glass face is lifting off the screen and actually became dangerously sharp on the corner. The phone has never been dropped or left out in the sun to warp. It's a basic sloppy build. What happens now? $100?

it's threads like "mogul to TP now!!! moguls out of stock!! get your TP for $50!" that are causing us to basically have to pay for their upgrades.... I think the step system would be awesome.
in a 2 yr period.
$50 for first asurion replacement
$100 for second...
$150 for third...
etc.
