Can we start a petiton on Insurance Deductible Cost???

So as many of you know, we are now getting super screwed on the new deductible cost for our Touch Pro's. We are considered Tier 2 and the cost of replacement is NOW $100.

I honestly feel we need to fight this because its ridiculous the way you pay $7 per month and then still get raped on the deductible.

I have been with Sprint for almost 10 years now and I think I have used the replacement like 4 times.

If it wasn't for me having the SERO plan that only cost me $37 a month with that already including insurance, I would be hot as FIRE right now.

$7 x 24 mth contract = $168 +$100 deductible = Still pretty good deal considering the phone retails without contract around $5-600 most places.

Re: Can we start a petiton on Insurance Deductible Cost???

terms and conditions state its not NECESSARY for you to carry insurance, so if you feel its too much, cancel the insurance program.

then figure the amount of times you have used insurance. I have always had insurance and never used it. I don't remember what I paid 11 yrs ago, but lets just say $5/month.

5 x 12 = $60/year
60 x 11 = $660

It adds up quick. If it was $7/month for all those years it would be $924, then you add in whatever the deductible is. Seems like a waste to me.

I kinda feel the same about car insurance. I have made one insurance claim in 13 years. That was only because my stereo system got jacked.

Re: Can we start a petiton on Insurance Deductible Cost???

I pay $5.99 a month and have a $50 deductible on my phone. I already used it once when my phone went tumbling down a set of concrete stairs.
