I already dropped it based on the fee change. I figure at $7 a month plus $100 a replacement even if I need it once a year that is $184 towards a new phone every year.

im not just because you never know what may happen and sprints usually (for me at least) pretty good about replacement since i have TEP. its all on prefrence i guess though.

nope... because i've not once ever had to pay the $50 deductible going all the way back to when i had the apache... $7/mo is fine for me for unlimited supply of phones... lol

If you didn't pay the deductible, doesn't that mean that it was covered by the ESRP portion? Or am I wrong about that?

Yep. You only pay a deductible in case of external physical damage, water damage, or loss of the phone. Anything else is covered for free with no deductible.

thats the way I am, so i'm thinking of keeping it based on what you said. I'm not hard on my phones at all.

ERSP is the reason I got TEP. 4 out of 5 of my replacements were ERSP replacements. Only one I payed the deductable (I creacked the screen, and it got me a Touch Pro in the end.) The 7 bucks a month is much worth it to me.

sprint has told me before that i would have to pay but i was never charged. the insurance helps because you will be charged a service fee everytime you take your phone in to be looked at.
