Sprint handset insurance question

I lost my phone today and about to make an insurance claim. Anyone know if Sprint will charge me a fee to put a temporary phone on my account for a couple of days until the replacement arrives and is activated?

Jump in and correct me if I am wrong, but if you already own the Sprint phone, I believe it's free to get it on the account until your replacement arrives.

i dont think they gonna charge any fee since ur a costumer. they will charge $50 for the replacement and you will pay that eather cc or will come in the bill. other than that is no charge.

I guess it doesn't really matter as I need a functioning phone but would be one positive thing for today if it only cost me the $50.00 co-pay.

just go online and do an ESN swap. No cost to do that.

The TEP has new pricing now. Cheap crappy phones have a $50 deductible. High-end phones have a $100 deductible.
