Verizon Insurance Policy

[mswilson2007]

Okie dokie so my TP2 got a spot on the screen...only god knows how. But anyway since then the touch screen hasn't worked. So I'm waiting until I get paid so I can pay the 100 dollars to get another. But my question is if I pay that fee, is there a way I can "get" a droid or some other type of phone. Because I know too many people who've got the TP2 and are on their 3rd and 4th phone....I don't want the hassle down the road.
Are their "tips" or anything as to what I should say to make this happen...or is it out of the realm of possibility?
Edit**
This is with Verizon and the 7 dollar insurance charge monthly...whatever that is

I think many of the users who have been allowed to swap from a TP2 to another phone are usually those who are on the 3rd or 4th replacements(if they have been using Asurion for the replacements, then they have essentially paid for a new phone regardless of type). I recently used Asurion to replace my TP2 because of the radio failing, but they sent me another TP2 next day.

what do you mean the radio failing ?

what kind of problem(s) did you have

I've had 4 TP2's and was going on a fifth one and they offered me a free Droid Incredible. The back order is ridiculous though. Ugh

Check out that thread

Also, don't pay 100 bucks. You have a one year warranty. Use it to get a free refurb. Or try what I did

shouldn't this be in carrier discussion?

Numerous drops will eventually lead to the hardware failure

But was it physically damaged. If not then it is covered under warranty.

If you bought the TP2 new, then you should still be covered under warranty. Call Verizon and they'll send you a replacement free of charge. It'll most likely be a refurb, but then it's still covered under the warranty.

Yeah...the phone is kinda beat up though from previously. But it only stopped working when like a spot came on the screen and it stopped working. Would that be my fault?

So lets say you took a little better care of your phone maybe it would not be in as bad of shape and you might not be having issues with it?
