I gotta Important Question about Sprint Insurance?

My friend s4 got stolen while he was at a party and he needs to get a new phone he has insurance and warranty. How does he get a new s4? And how much will it be for him to get a new s4?

If he has Assurion through Sprint just go to Assurions website and make a claim. It will walk him through the steps.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

It will cost $150 and take a day or two.

Yes $150. Sorry I was typing that right before a job interview and the manager came up to me right in the middle of the paragraph.

He has to print and fax stuff for the claim. But what does he do because he doesn't have a printer.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Print and fax? I've never had to do that for an insurance claim. That's strange. He could go to a library to print and fax.

We actually don't live no where near a library. What did you have to do for a insurance claim? And what did you have to do to get a new phone?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I've done it over the phone and online. Pretty simple both ways.

You don't need to print anything. Just make the claim with the info it asks and they send you a phone. What did it ask you to print or fax? It probably said you can print the invoice for a receipt if you choose to, but you don't have to.

Also just throwing this out there. If he is trying to make a false claim and keep or sell the old phone and get a new one for $150 stop now. That is insurance fraud and he will get in trouble for it. Assurion is not stupid, they are an insurance company that has people that specialize in that stuff, just like all insurance companies they deal with fraud and illegal claims quite often. , it's not a good idea. But if it's a legit claim then answer the above questions I posted.

As far as I know his phone really got stolen. But I know someone who did that on Verizon he had the IPhone 5 sold it then got a new one nd has money even after getting a new iPhone 5. They sent him a never used and Unopened iPhone 5. How would they even know always?

How would they know? U really asked tht. They track the esn/dec he would never be able to activate it again with those numbers. They will redflag it. If he trys goin to a store with it to activate it thry will take it.

I must have filed my claims too late at night then, because mine always take at least a whole day or two. Also the only time I filed a claim for a stolen phone I had to get a police report and send it to them, but that was over 10 years ago.

That won't happen. I used to work at Sprint and it will say flagged for lost or stolen and cannot be activated but they can't take any phone... sadly I saw it a lot

What the hell is going to happen to my Friends credit because he's dumb.

My friend started service 2 months ago to get the note 2 on T-Mobile. He has 360$ equipment loan fee still plus he his bill is $373 and he got three Note 2 replacements from t mobile and a iPhone 5 and didn't send them back and he isn't going to pay his bill what could happen?. I told him he's going to really mess up his credit. What could happened from what he's doing? He got a bunch of messages from t mobile saying he has to pay up to $850 if he doesn't send the phone back what's going to happen?

Credit report and legal action. Refusing to return devices not fully paid is considered theft if said company request return.
Bottom line: Your friend is stupid.

So if I read that right, he has 4 phones that he isn't going to return? His credit is going to be the least of his worries.

His credit is going to get wrecked, they're going to take legal action (Let's be honest, its going to be clear who's going to win and he'll be in even more ****), and on top of all that he's going to have a debt collector breathing down his neck.
Hope he doesn't plan on getting a house, car, bank account, or loan anytime soon.

So your "friend" has acquired at least $2500 worth of high tech hardware across state lines by lying. I would expect at least one and as many as four three lettered government agencies to be taking an interest in him soon.

i tried remotely installing android lost but cannot register as the device is turned off. it was almost dead before it was stolen so i figure thats what it is. i am with at&t is there any way to go through them to make the phone as least usable as possible? i have very important information and im sure theres other important things on there i dont even know about that could be a security threat. what do i do

Skip wasting time with Google, they will do nothing, it has nothing to do with them. Call your carrier, they will suspend your account, which isn't a whole lot, and will most likely only block IMEI number with a police report, at least that's T-Mobile policy.

I was, but given the resent news of a Nexus 5 with Sprint LTE support I'm holding off until it gets announced. If it won't come out to Sprint the Moto X will be my next.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I will be getting one soon in white when its available for SWAC purchase. Having an available upgrade is nearly killing me but I doubt I will have to wait much longer. I'm not sure what you guys are reading about another Nexus on Sprint but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm still thinking about it. I'll probably time it so that I'm eligible to trade it in for a Note 3 within the 14-day grace period just in case I don't like it.
Good to see a familiar name

I should get one soon hopefully. My broken screen EVO 3D finally gave up the other day, no phone ATM:crying:. Stopped by one of the local Sprint stores, they didn't have any in stock and would let me know when they'll be getting them in the store. Right now it seems they're only available online, not sure for how long though. Need to get my account balance payed down before i can upgrade though...:laugh:

Just some quick thoughts since i just got mine, all bloatware except sprint zone seems removable. Also unless it times out on me it looks like Google wallet may work. It came preloaded anyway

Would you mind grabbing a system dump for me please? Connect phone to computer with usb debugging enabled and run the following command (open a command prompt in the directory where you have adb, tell me if you don't have it and I'll link you to a quick download for it)
Code:
adb pull /system system
Then wait for that to complete and zip up + upload the folder it makes and drop a link for me...

Were you able to get wallet up and going? If you did then the rest of us may be able to bring it over the vzw and att. If we are able to change lines in our build prop to make it think its a sprint then install and set up wallet then revert back like we did with the s3. Might be some hope as long as the secure element is hidden somewhere.

If I remember correctly, att and tmobile share the same database for blacklisting. Anyway, if it has a bad imei, it won't work in the usa, for all carriers.

How can a nexus 4 get blacklisted if it's from play store anyways? You pay full price for it so it's yours. I understand if it is from T-Mobile then it can get blacklisted if it paying it in payments.

no idea but i think it would too much work for Google to do that and I highly doubt they would bother with it. Just pray the person doesnt report it. If so, be ready to move to another country to make it work .
