Total Equipment Protection

Just adding one other point to TEP, physical damage is no longer covered in store (LCD broken or slide snapped off) those can be fixed by a technician however it will cost 120$ even if you have TEP so its easier to file a claim at 50$

I'm gonna report you to assurion. Can you pm me your phone number please.

Thanks for the advice, I will keep the TEP. Also found some other negative threads about Best Buy insurance.

The thing I've hear about best buy's insurance is that it's extremely expensive.

They also won't let you add it to a phone after 30 days, so those who are thinking about it, you better hurry.

My Gf bought a used Treo off craigslist and Sprint insured it no problem

Times 2...... I bought my first mogul off of Craigslist.... Insured no problem

Dont buy any other warranty plan other than TEP. Radioshack has replacement program only lasts for 2 years. I asked what it covered and he said its you get an extra year on the warrenty. Doesnt cover lost or stolen, doesnt cover cosmetic damages, doesnt cover liquid damage, doesnt help at all. TEP will be there until u remove it from ur account and will protect ur phone so u dont have to worry about it that much

I'm going to get TEP on mine soon, because just the other day, I noticed a small crack in the chrome on the top-right corner/edge.......and I seriously don't remember ever dropping the device...........so durability concerns me.

To get TEP after the first 30 days just do an ESN swap online to another phone you may have thats not activated, and then swap back and voila, your 30 days starts over and you can add TEP. It works, I have done it.

I was able to add TEP to my Mogul almost a year and a half after I bought it. I just used the online chat with Sprint and they added it, no questions asked. As for the Best Buy plan, I like it, has it on my last flip phone and it fell off my hip at a fire call and it was run over by a ladder truck, and Best Buy replaced in the store with no problems. The only thing I didn't like about the best buy plan was that it didn't cover lost/stolen phones. In order to take advantage of the plan, you have to have the phone (or pieces of it in my case) and they will take care of you.
