we are in a debate right now, he suggested he get tep wait 30 days and filea claim fora new phone...i told him thats fraud and illegal, he says its perfectly legal if he paid the premium and deductible. am i right or him?

Re: crazy screen
 

I'm not going to get into questions of legality (I'm no lawyer), but that should work. People made much much much shadier trade-ins when some of the companies were upgrading people to the Touch Pro. Chances are extremely likely that the insurance company would not care or notice. I'm not going to advocate either way, but that certainly seems like a plausible solution.

He could also look on eBay and try to buy a used one. It may be a similar price to the insurance costs.

Have you seen it in person? Maybe he has a brain tumor........

Re: crazy screen
 

Yes that could work, I would consider it slightly legal. But I dont know how he can sign up for TEP after 30 days of having the phone.

i had a tp well over ayr old and the gps broke and sprint sent me a new tp free, no insurance ect.

Re: crazy screen
 

well alltel said no to a warranty exchange, but with them you can add insurance anytime you want, which is nice. Also i have seen the phone in person, as he is my roommate. I will tell him to go ahead and try his insurance deal then. thanks for all the info.

FIXED: what we did was downgrade to an older shipped alltel rom/radio and it stopped, we then upgraded back to the latest alltel shipped, and now on custom again. so far so good.
