Jumped in the pool and had my week old baby on my front pocket. Didn't realize it for about 5 minutes, pulled the battery and dropped it in rice but I think it's to late, she's gone. Will check it in the morning.

I do have TEP on it so how does that work, never had to use it in 5 years. Is it all online or can I go into a Sprint store and just exchange it and pay the deductible? Oy maybe they can fix it?
 
You should be able to go into the Sprint store and exchange it. You will have to pay a $150 deductible if they determine it has water damage.
 
Which, obviously it will have water damage, given the length of time (5 minutes in water).
 
Awww poor baby. Lol. Hope it works man. I'm not sure if those plans cover water damage but good luck

Wow that's terrible. You would have to go through the insurance claims. Going on the site www.phoneclaims.com/sprint is faster. You get the phone the next day and the deductible can be billed to your sprint bill. Good luck.

The battery water indicator turned pink but the one on the phone is still white. Does Sprint even carry the 32g model in store?
 
It would of DESTROYED my mood for the day......maybe even week or till I got my replacement, lol!! :)

You have no idea!!! And leaving tomorrow for Tahoe for the weekend with no GSIII is a real bummer. I'm going to stop buy Sprint repair center and see what they can do, I just don't think they have any of the 32g models in stock, just the 16g. If they can't do nothing I'll go through insurance and hopefully get a new one tomorrow before I leave.

I feel for you buddy!! Its a GOOD thing you have insurance!! Good luck getting a replacemet quickly!

This just reminded me that I have less than 30 days to get insurance on my phone. $11 extra a month is just an added expense on my bill but is it worth it in the long run? What do you guys think?

And why were you in the pool wearing clothes with pockets again??? :p
 
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the insurance process will go smoothly. I have been trying to decide if I wanted to get the insurance or not. This is pushing me closer to buying it.

I always have insurance on my phones...just in case. Plus I've been lucky (or blessed) that when I've filed a claim i get a brand spanking new one in the box. Sprint did tell me it was $11 now but I don't care. Lol insurance helps :)

Yep you see my signature? It's working. Still have a little mostuire on the front camera and it says I have headphones plugged in when I don't. I'm going to let it sit in the rice for another day and see what happens.

Hi. Before filing TEP claim, you may be able to file a claim with your credit card company. I know my AMEX card will covervaccidental damage for 60 days. No deductible.
