Insurce for Touch Pro

[saqer]

Here's my philosophy. Look at the per day costs for adding insurance. It's about a quarter a day or about 2 grande coffees at starbucks. I don't mind giving up those coffees for a little piece of mind. It can be added anytime within 30 days of purchase. I have been able to get around this once, but because of a technicality. It's kind of cheating the system, but what you do is activate a new phone on the line then do an ESN swap with phone you want insurance on. I think Sprint's placed guards against that type of stuff though.

It really depends on what happens to the phone. I am with Sprint so I pay the $7 for TEP. If a button stops working or the phone wont charge you go to a Sprint repair facility. They look at the problem and order you a replacement phone no charge. Yes normally this will be a refurbished but all and all I've had ok luck with them. Now if you drop your phone in the toilet or run over it with a car you have to deal with the insurance carrier and pay your detuctible. I just can't imagine carrying a phone that would cost me $600 to replace if I didn't fork over the $7 a month. four months after I got my Mogul I hit a deer while riding a motorcycle. The displace cracked making the phone almost useless. $50 and two days later new phone, it was nice not having to worry about forking over $500 for a new phone four months after buying it for $200. To each his own though.

Best buy rep told me they offer the same insurance for phones if you purchase at the store but it is 6.99 a month and you don't have to pay the $50 deductible for your replacement does anybody have this?

Can you get insurance after you activate the phone?

It's like 8 bucks a month and 50 bucks replace it. Totaling to 97+50 for a year and one replacement. They don't always give you a new phone, just a refurbished.

fyi it's only 50 to replace if it gets wet or you lose it or something - the $7 insurance plan actually has 2 plans, and the 2nd one covers normal wear and tear and extended warranty protection etc with no deductible... i think you can still get them seperately for $4 each or it's 7 for the whole thing

You can add insurance to a device up to 30 days after purchase, not after that.

I will be adding it to mine in a few weeks.


Erhm, thats what Sprint told me!
