Seems pretty up front to me

Have you ever had to actually file a claim with these guys? Just wondering how the service/ experience was with them.

You're being obtuse. Regardless, thanks for the link. I'd look at the end of page 3 and then into page 4. They exclude theft from an "unattended" vehicle. Are you supposed to hire armed guards 24/7? Corrosion is also excluded...so much for water damage. Says nothing about fire that I saw. Excludes cosmetic damage and dishonest acts, whatever that is. Theft maybe?

I think I'll keep looking.

Dishonest acts would probably be considered deliberately damaging your device to file a claim.

I usually go with squaretrade @ $89 paid up front for the year with a $99 deductible and no loss or theft coverage.

This place is $96 if you do the payment and $78 if you pay in full with a $50 deductible plus it covers loss or theft. I may have to give it a try, reading the policy documents now and need to look around for some reviews.

Thanks for the tip Tour!!

No, i haven't filed a claim so I can't help with that. In fact, I haven't done any damage to a cell phone in over 5 years that would warrant filling a claim. But it only takes once.

Dishonest acts: So don't get into a fight with your wife/husband and throw the phone. It's not covered...LOL

All you have to do in this case is call TMobile to update the IMEI in the system.

I was told that doesn't matter bc the IMEI does not match the one sold to you when the system tries to process the trade in.

That's why they need to update it in the system so that it becomes the current IMEI. They may ask for proof that it was replaced under warranty/insurance but as long as everything is on the up and up, no issue.

Good info there. Hopefully you get a rep that knows what they are doing, bc the one that gave me that info obviously didn't.

With carrier reps.... it is always a crap shoot.

Obviously you didn't look through the whole thing because there is a glossary of terms at the end that explains exactly the things you have failed to comprehend.

You are correct, I didn't. My bad. But as they say, the devil is in the details.

Anyone going to try the new Samsung premium care with the s8? Ive had insurance on my phones for the s7e and s6e the past couple of years, but Im really interested in the deductible on samsungs plan. If its $100 for the s8 plus thats a lot better than the $200 deductible with ascurion I have through verizon.

What is Samsung Premium Care and why should Galaxy S8 owners be glad it exists?

No loss or theft coverage like with Verizon though, if that's important to you.
