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.

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.

Can a Google play purchased N4 get black listed?
If so will it be on att and tmobile only or all gsm carriers?
And even if it did get blacklisted I can just get another motherboard and use that?

It would be blacklisted to whatever carrier that did it.

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.

It has a good imei I checked it and its unlocked.
If I buy it and the seller decides to report it stolen, can it still be used? The user said he has tmo on it, but bought the phone from Google. I'm on att, am I out of luck?
I don't plan on using it on att, its going to be used on Straight Talk

If you plan to use it on att, and he reports it stolen to tmobile then yeah, it won't work

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 .

My friend has a T-Mobile Priv

I may be able to get my hands on it for a bit, I'm pretty technically capable, is there anything I can do that would help us know more about this phone, Advance root, grab apks, etc? It's a loaner device so if it could brick it, I can't do it.

Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.deviceid
And tell us the device id and codename. Then we should be able to grab the apk's off the Play Store.

Yikes! December is quite a while away. I hope that info is outdated... I was hoping John Legere would announce it during Uncarrier X. If it doesn't come out this month, I'll probably just buy it from BB with my bonus since it still gets VoLTE and Wifi calling. Band 12 isn't out where I'm at yet, but the Priv does support it, so the only thing I miss out on is the Jump insurance.

Didn't they remove the word "exclusive" due to legal reasons?

I didn't hear that but that makes more sense than exclusive since you can buy it from B&B's website. But still the timed exclusive has to be worth it and I couldn't see AT&T paying for anything less than a month.
