A nightmare resolved

That's interesting that Assurian is requiring a copy of claimant's drivers license now, they must have been burned one too many times and decided to really crack down.

But whatever their reasoning, I am glad that you figured out a way to salvage your phone for close to the same price. Good work on your part!

i seem to remember reading on some forum about people that have their accounts hijacked and then claims filed for phones. Maybe this is the new way to prevent it.

I have no idea. I'm all about security, and understand it but these people have enough of my information readily available to verify who I am. I thought it was a poorly placed hoop to jump through. Printing out pdf's and scanning drivers licenses? It's not 1995, there has got to be a better way than this in 2010. I was told it may have been because I was within my first 30 days, it still doesn't justify it in my opinion. I'm also aware of the fact I'm a stubborn fool who thinks faxing over copies of state issued id's blindly is rather stupid.

Oh well, my phone is at the Sprint store as we speak, guy said it'll take about 45 minutes. I'll post an update if all goes well.

Anyway, becareful with those moments guys, that front screen is SENSITIVE. It fell out of my pocket, fell about six inches to a wood floor and the front glass spider webbed.

I will apparently have to buy one of those new bubble wrap carrying cases.
