Re: To add Sprint TEP or not
Quote:
If your phone ends up down a storm drain every other month, then by all means go for it. But in my experience, most people I know with cell phones would not file a claim often enough to get the benefit. So if you want to look at the question rationally, you don't need to look much farther than your own personal history with cell phones. |

If they were under 12 months and replaced under warranty for free the TEP never kicked in. And again your bad phone that was replaced after 2 weeks, that is warranty not TEP. MotoQ after 6 months, again that's covered under warranty. Did you ever lose your phone, or have it stolen or dropped it and paid the deductable? Don't mix apples and oranges. They also tend not to be so generous if you have a SERO plan as well. Since most of us get the itch to replace phones after a year. The warranty part of the TEP never kicks in. It really is covering lost, stolen or dropped in a toilet. Do you need to pay $84/year for that then go for it.

Not to mention going through like 10 phones would be nightmare. Partly because most were all marginal refurbs. A lot of this all depends on your plans. If you have like a $100.00/mo plan they will often do what ever you ask regardless of TEP. What if your new car was totalled and then they replaced it with a used one of equal value. And charged you a deductable that is about 1/3 the value of the car. Wow, where do I sign up !! |

Re: To add Sprint TEP or not
Well I cracked my screen, no TEP. I use to have TEP, I thought I told the sprint rep when I bought my phone to add it, but it's not there. Oh well
I might buy a replacement lcd screen on ebay. This definitely sucks. |

Re: To add Sprint TEP or not
you have 30 days from time of purchase to add it, or if its past 30 days you can tell them it was supposed to be added whenever you got your phone and theyll back charge you the months you should have had it. Or you can add it whenever you swap ESNs...so if you have an old phone.....well you should know what to do from there

Re: To add Sprint TEP or not
They put in a claim to assurion saying that I said that Sprint didn't add it.
You are saying if I swap the ESN to my Moto Q and then back to the Touch Pro 2 i can then add TEP? They told me I have to challenge the rule and have an exception made, and then let me know the ramifications of insurance fraud. It's like 15 days past the initial 30 days. |

Re: To add Sprint TEP or not
I think I would rather pay $100 deductible and in even some case get a free warranty replacement for the next new model than buy a phone for $175. The yearly insurance of $84 + deductible which does equate to $184 , but in your case it's a $9 difference for piece of mind.

So swap they Q on, add TEP, swap the TP2 back, wait a few weeks, claim. Lengthy, but better than nothing |
