Hi all,
Has anyone used squaretrade insurance to replace or refund a phone purchased through tmobile?
I have a g1 purchased through tmobile that i got insured through squaretrade, and I'm wondering if anyone went through the claim process with them for a similar situation.
Specifically, did they require a receipt, since i believe they mention that on their website? The only thing i had close a receipt was the tmobile bill stating i was charged $200 or whatever, but i insured the phone for $400 since that is what it would have cost to replace. Do you know if they would honor the $400 it was worth or the $200 i was charged?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

any suggestions on inexpensive replacement parts?
Parts? You mean you didn't get the insurance???
insurance
how do you get the insurance?
i read the book and supposedly it doesn't cover negligence (like dropping the phone on concrete)
So far I only seen them on eBay.
seeing as how the titan's relatively new, i'd say it'd be very hard to get replacement parts. I remember when i had a tytn and i needed a replacement digitizer, it was such a hassle that it was easier for me to just buy a new phone. which is why i now have the titan. I would recommend trying to go through htc america for parts if you live in the states. unfortunately here in canada, a canadian htc repair building does not exist.
broke my mogul's screen earlier this year, brought it in to sprint on the insurance plan, and got it back for free. TEP plan for sprint shoudl be 5-6$ a month. You can get it for one, bring your phone in, then cancel it.
dunno if you have the verizon version though
My Htc Tytn or Titan or sprint mogul or 6800, hmmm I think it has enough names also had the lcd crack. I was curious if anyone knows how much sprint charges to fix a broken LCD and touchscreen? I don't want to have to send my phone away to pocketpctechs in the mail if I don't have to. I also don't have the insurance and it's too late for me to add-on now because I checked.
Also, has anyone paid pocketpctechs.com to fix theirs yet? Says it costs $169 plus you pay the shipping to them. Do they provide good service/work and do they honor their warranties? Thanks in advance if anyone has any more info.
I think I remember reading somewhere that they charge maximum of 50 dollars for a repair, but I may be off. I am pretty sure that if you bring it in for them to fix, afterwards you can tell them to add insurance to your account.
Yeah, there's a $50 deductible if you have the insurance to replace a phone, but has anyone had to bite the bullet and pay the full fix-it fees without insurance. Also I have two moguls do you know if you bring it in for them to inspect if they'll add insurance. Also, secondary when you bring a phone in for fixing do they verify ESN's and such to verify actual phone?
~$60 repaired at Sprint store
Got my Mogul's screen replaced at a local Sprint store. They charged $55 + tax for the repair. It's all done in a hour.

Now did they just replace the touchscreen or the digitizer underneath too? I was thinking it would be way more. Thanks for sharing the info though. This makes me feel much better.
I called a Tmo rep, she said that there is no insurance available thru Tmo for the N1 since I bought it directly from google.
Does anyone know of any third party insurance
Pissed I dropped so much money and I'm not even covered if its lost/stolen, might have to sell it tommorrow when it arrives.

I bought some coverage from Squaretrade. It is like $70 for 2 years of coverage. Damage is covered up to $399. $130 short of the Nexus total price, but hey, I'd rather be out $200 (price of the Warranty included) than $530 should I somehow break it.
After 2 years time, I'll be due a new phone anyways
I get mine through my bank account. Might be worthwhile if you need travel insurance/breakdown cover etc.

Both Google and TMO confirmed that there is no insurance offered for the N1.
At this time, insurance is not offered for the Nexus One. We appreciate your feedback.

I wouldn't even consider making a claim against my homeowner's for this. That would be ridiculous. I'm looking into other solutions.
I just visited the t-mobile store to activate my N1 and I asked them about the insurance. The rep said that they will *probably* be able to insure the phone soon. The rep also suggested to add the insurance to my plan so once the insurance policy starts I'll be covered.
Not sure how knowledgeable the rep was or if it was complete bull****, but I got the insurance anyways, just $5 a month.
whats the warrenty on the n1?

they will never be able to ensure the phone. the insurance for tmobile is 3rd party and they said no because it is not a tmobile phone, but an unlocked device not even supported by tmobile

I agree with this line of thought. It's a similar situation to the iPhone which has never been insurable through AT&T and Asurion (that's the insurance carrier's name).

I believe it is the same as all other wireless handsets; one year from date of purchase.
a phone doesn't look like a really good thing to insure on paper... to an insurance company.
$5 / month = 106 months = 8.833333 YEARS for them to recoup their costs if you spaz out and kill your phone. (Assuming the full $530 price)
i wouldn't insure that thing either. buy it, use it, don't break it.

sorry gotta bump this
Hi everyone, I'm still within the 14day remorse period.. and I'm planning on returning my G2 that I bought from a t-mobile corporate store.. so that I can get it cheaper elsewhere.
For those of you who have bought from t-mobile stores, were you slapped with a restocking fee upon your return?
Thanks!
Yep. $10 down the hole.
Where would you get it cheaper? I had a situation where T-Mobile offered me the phone over phone for 150$ while in store was 249.99$ (199.99$ after rebate) while another place had it for 199.99$ without rebate, went and got the phone, called T-Mobile and they credited the account and waved the activation fee's, just tell them you'll return the phone if they don't. What's better (say 50$ credit, or them having to write off a phone?)
Does anyone know exactly what the eligibility requirements are for the $50 rebate? I originally bought the G2 from a tmobile store for the upgrade price of $250 with the $50 rebate. Then I returned it in order to get the phone cheaper from costco. That failed because costco phone people couldnt honor my early upgrade discount. So then I called up customer service was able to get the phone for $150.
Now.. I still have the original $50 rebate form.. and was wondering if I could still use it. I skimmed over it and there's really no mention about how much the purchase had to be, etc. So does anyone know any further info on the rebates?
Thanks.
Lol thats funny, I did the same exact thing, except T-Mobile was able to revert my contract and I still got the costco 99.99 upgrade price. Ummm I'm pretty sure they can track through serial Numbers and IMEI numbers but hey its worth a shot, not like they can arrest you for trying...
you have to be at the 22 month mark to get the mail in rebate, and you have to buy the phone on an upgrade, and you have to mail in the form. if you got the rebate when you bought it for 250 then you were full upgrade eligible and there shouldn't be an issue sending in the rebate form. but worst case scenario is that you send it in and get a letter back that you are not eligible
