I'm thinking about dropping the insurance for two reasons, one I have to paid 100 bucks for a refurb. And two I would rather just buy a new one off of ebay for 200. I could also just fix my own anyways. whats your thoughts? Does anyone not have TEP?

I have the insurance because of my daughter. She has gone through 4 different epics in a year... While I went through 2 of them. Lol

I just wonder if it's worth it because I'll either buy a new nexus s or fix mine.

I am thinking of adding this just so I can get a new (even if refurbed S 4G) my friend sold me his and I am conflicted on whether I should add this. Especially since the biggest risk is dropping it and its over for the phone but i dont think it would be covered if something like this happened...not sure

I have 3 phones on my plan. When i dropped my insiurance it was because i did the math, 3 phones @ 7$ is 21/month. round that up to 25, thats 300$/year. my daughters phone was lost and i had to pay a 100$ deductible plus the money to overnight it to her. That was after having insurance for a number of years, so i thought at 300/year its cheaper to buy a new phone......

With Sprint TEP up to $8 now, it's only two more a month to go with Best Buy, If you use the insurance once in four years, it is still cheaper, than one loss on TEP.

The only bad part about Best Buy's protection is that you may have to wait a little longer to get a replacement phone.. I was told when I signed up that may be a day or two before receiving the replacement. Usually if you bring a broken phone to Sprint, they can get you a replacement right there if they have enough in stock.
