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!
no i dont own Nexus S but for the people who do im just wondering did u guys get insurance? i know that bestbuy offers insurance for $9.99 which does NOT cover lost,stolen and water damaged phones.they said if u damage your phone u have to bring it or ship to bestbuy to get your brand new replacement with zero deductible.is there any other company offering Nexus S insurance besides bestbuy?

Anybody buy SquareTrade warranty? $99 for Nexus S, they have a special menu selection for the Nexus S. $50 deductible for accidental damage, no deductible for hardware/software failures like batteries. You can get it up to 30 days from date of purchase, and prorated refund if u don't want it. Covers for 2 years.
I've never bought any warranties for anything before, but might on the Nexus S. Much cheaper than Best Buy's Geek Squad Protection Plan at over $200.

I did, and I have had a claim through them before with no problems. You do however have to send your phone in and turn around time is about three days so you would want a backup of sorts.
Also got it for NS for the reason of not wanting to use a case. No problem claiming a point and shoot before.
I warranty all my phones and settop boxes with them. I never had to use one but you can cancel at anytime and get unused warranty transfered back to your credit card. You can even transfer the warranty to another person if you sell the phone. It was a great selling point when getting rid of a 3gs.
So last year I imported my Galaxy Nexus last year for around $700 but never got around to purchasing a insurance plan for it. Good thing it still in great shape. My Nexus 4 should be here tomorrow and I want to know if anyone knows what the best insurance company is for the nexus 4 is.
$350 in your bank? For $350 why get insurance?
I voided my warranty.
how much is insurance for something like the Nexus 4 and what kind things will it cover?

350$ is alot of money for some people, stop being so ignorant.
If you purchased it with AMEX, you get 90 days warranty.

You serious? For ~$100 for insurance and the $50-$150 deductibles why get insurance on a $150. Do the math. If $350 is a lot of money for some people, then why are they buying $350 phones, and some insurance on top that. Start using logic.
I voided my warranty.
SquareTrade is what I use. Since I only buy unlocked devices and use mvno carriers that don't offer insurance. SquareTrade has come in handy... Not sure if they offer service where you live though.
Only issues with a 3rd Party insurance is they can't guarantee a replacement device on something as new as the Nexus 4.

So I didn't purchase Nexus Protect when I bought my phone and, according to Google, the only way to get it is to return and repurchase. Or, I can get a square trade warranty. Thoughts?

You can get Square Trade.
I've used them on plenty of items.
I've filed claims on two different items.
One was a tablet and they refunded the price.
The other was a camera and they sent me a refurb replacement that has been flawless.

Does Squaretrade have a limit on replacements like Nexus Protect only allows 2 incidents in 2 years?
I, too, purchased a squaretrade warranty. Makes absolutely zero sense why nexus protect can't be added within the return period.
Does anyone have an opinion regarding SquareTrade vs Nexus Protect? Should I go through the hassle of returning the phone and buying a new one just to get the Nexus Protect?

I honestly don't think Nexus Protect is worth it. It carries a nasty deductible.

I looked at it this way
2 years of verizon insurance @$8 a month is $192, nexus protect is about 1/2 price. Verizon to replace a device is over $100.
The pros of VZW is it covers lost/stolen phone and up to 2 insurance damage/stolen/lost replacements a year if needed Cons of VZW insurance price and deductible price and they can't cover a device not bought from VZW
The pros of NP are lower price and deductible than carrier insurance. The cons of NP is it doesn't cover lost/stolen phones. Only covers 2 replacements FOR TWO YEARS.
So I looked at NP and Square trade and went with nexus protect since their pricing was similar
I'm considering this choice right now since I didn't buy Nexus Protect when I bought my phone and Google won't let me add it now (I tried; got nowhere with their customer support). My concern with Squaretrade is that if they have to replace your phone, they won't replace it with a Nexus 6P but with a "comparable" phone. Does anyone know if that's the case? I really don't want to go through the hassle of returning my phone and buying a new one just to add Nexus Protect. But on the other hand, in the event that I have to file a claim, I don't want to be told that I'll receive a Galaxy Note or whatever instead of a Nexus 6P.
As an aside, Google's policy of not allowing customers to add Nexus Protect during their return window makes absolutely no sense. Returning my phone and buying a new one is a hassle for me and a waste of resources for Google, since it results in a wasted new unit. Lose-lose situation.
Yeah that seems a bit odd on googles part. I was planning on going with squaretrade just been trying to find a coupon to get it a bit cheaper , havent had much luck getting one lol
