new note 4 owner by complete mistake

[sloppygti]

Call me crazy but this story is something else.

I upgraded my s4 to a note 3 a year ago through the att next plan . I was looking into getting the note 4 the past few weeks . which would of had me pay 190 dollars to finish out my next plan contract. Eh not a big deal same as renewing a 2 year contract. Well last Friday I destroyed my note 3 screen and went to the att store to get options on a replacement since I had factory warranty and insurance.
Well I had to file a claim through att phone insurance company so I proceeded to file one that night.
Well that was a measly 99 bucks for the detuctable. It was shipped surpizingly overnight and I received it yesterday (Saturday) well I was out shopping with the wife so I had to wait all day with no phpne... Tourtue lol....
Well we cone home I open the box start taking out the battery and stuff from my old phone and I see the phone box inside this fed ex box. Its a note 4 32gig I said well I'm sure they just packaged it in the wrong box. So I open it and to my surpise its a black note 4 32gig brand new never opened. I said holy ****. And proceeded to not believe it..

Well I log into my att accound and look at my bill which was already updated with the note 4 stock picture it says note 4 on my profile and the craziest thing is I still have a upgrade in a few months unless I decide to pay 190 to finish out my contract. So all in all im pretty sure I just got a freaking fee upgrade to a black 32gig note 4

Maybe fixing the screen is almost as new phone price
You lucky got nice upgrade earlier

Yeah maybe idk. I mean I know if you claim an old phone through insurance and they dont have ones to replace it with they will send you an upgraded version but the note 3 isn't that old. It was definitely a surprise to me

They have been sending note 4s recently for damaged note 3s. Very nice for you. That's awesome! Enjoy that beast.

That's crazy.. Why would they start doing that?

That happened with my daughter's iphone. She had a 4s and we had to do an insurance claim. Assurion didn't have any of those so they sent her a new 5s (this was before the 6 was announced). She was pretty happy. I think it all depends what kind of stock they have.

Same thing happen to me and I had the Note 2, insurance ships me a Note 4 replacement. It really pays to have insurance.

My friend had the same happen to him when he replaced his daughters stolen Note 3 with the insurance with AT&T.

Diggin this Note 4

So my wife dropped her beloved Droid Maxx and cracked the screen. I filed a claim with Asurion and they promptly sent a replacement. Unfortuately it had a small mark on the screen so I had them replace with another. We'll this one had a bad sim port. I called and was fortunate enough to get a sympathetic ear. The customer service rep agreed to send a brand new Maxx due to the past issues. After several minutes she came back on the line and said they did not have a new Droid Maxx, how about a new Ultra? I said, "no thanks, how about a Turbo"? After gigling a bit she asked me to wait a minute. Came back on the line and said she shipped a new Droid Turbo. Best $90 I have spent in a long time!

Seems like a great deal for you! They probably didn't have a N3 for you, so, in an effort to make you whole, did the right thing and gave you a courtesy upgrade. Hooray for you!

How often do you get more than you expect these days?? I have the same insurance but have never had to use it, nice to know they treat their customers well.
