You pay a little more, but most people on here have swapped their TP at best buy more times than the number of phones I have owned in my life.

Best buy exchanges the phone with no questions asked, (most of the time) and they give you new phones, not refurbished.

I think it varies on the person. Best buy has unlimited returns while sprint has 3 returns per year. Let's say a clumsy person with Sprint Insurance loses their phone 3 times in the first six months. That's 3 co pay's ($150), and they cannot get another phone for the remaining six months so you will have to buy a new phone or something.

If you lose your phone with the best buy insurance you pretty much have to buy another phone I am assuming. Play with the numbers and you'll have a better idea of who to go with.

even if that's the case,if you lose your worst buy phone(a touch pro for example) it's going to cost you $750 from worst buy to replace versus $50 from sprint.i think the numbers speak for themselves but as i stated earlier,wait til you have a problem and try to return it.there's a couple of threads on the horrors of people returning their cheap 1st edition pros and getting the run-around.

Okay I see a LOT of false information floating around this thread.

First off, you only pay the $50 deductible if you claim it lost/stolen/physical damage with asurion. These are the only transactions that count towards your 2 per year limit as well. For every other issue, it is covered under the ESRP part of your $7/month fee, and you get unlimited swaps (they do charge you through if you are lying about the issue either to just get a new phone or to avoid a $50 deductible).
