at first when i ordered the phone i decided against insurance since ive always treated my devices with such care, but then i was thinking that it could get lost or stolen or something...anything is possible and for the money its worth it. especially since right now i have no case on my phone

the rep told me 6 so i will make them stick to that quoted price, on a side note i rent...can i insure it through renters insurance or maybe the people that do my car insurance or something? also would like to point out that usually if you purchase with a mastercard you get the double manufacturer warranty

I can't believe how expensive the insurance plans have become. I am grandfathered into the old plan $5/month or less and $50 deductible. If I had to pay $100 just to get a refurb I would drop the insurance.

I say NO to insurance, when you can buy one new online somewhere, craigslist, etc..

What you got to understand in the sprint world is this.Many people do not know that if you DO NOT have insurance that within the year if it goes bad you can get a free replacement if they can't fix it.Lets say the keyboard peels or starts to go bad and it is withing a year sprint will replace it free.

The insurance is 7$ a month and a 100$ dect. and you get a REFURB

So as long as you do not lose it or drop and break it there is no reason to have it.Now if my Daughter or my other Daughter had 1 they would have it in a hearbeat since they love to forget phones.

I work in my home and my phone never leaves my side and when i go out i know where it is all the time.

Guess it is different for everyone.

Its all up to you. I only lost my phone once, and that was when I had my sprint apache. It was the best thing to happen to me because assurion sent me a brand new touch pro the next day

Anyway, considering the price of my plan, I can easily afford to have the TEP, and it has proven to be quite a valuable addition (I have gone through 5 TP's, and 2 Apache's). Although only one phone was ever lost.

so to ALL the people that say no insurance you guys are trippin. 1st by having insurance on a 600 machine gives you peace of mind. 2nd i have a tp2 already and sprint just replaced my tp1 i dont even use anymore for a tp2 which im going to sell next week for at least $300, and youre telling me insurance is not worth it.
