Do you insure your cell phone? If so who do you use?

Yes. Assurion sp? It's the third party company that works with Sprint. Seriously pay the extra 8 bucks or whatever a month if you have a nice phone it's worth it trust me.

No. I have an iPhone, and I know they cost a small fortune, but Verizon wanted a ****ing mint. I don't remember the numbers, but it was going to end up being a considerable amount of money.
Accordingly, I just buy Griffin Defender cases for it, and am happy with the results. In April it will be 2 years, and *knocks on wood* I haven't had any problems. Phone still looks brand new. I have unlimited data and am probably going to do what I can to avoid giving that up. It may come to running older phones (mine is old now) and not needing the big dollar plans. Maybe I need to look into it again. I want to say the smartphone insurance was $15/ month. If it has come down, I may look into it. |

Doesn't Apple have their own insurance plan?

I do for the first year or so until the value of the phone drops below the deductible.

Never. Its a scam for anyone responsible enough to take care of their phone (people with kids do not count - those monsters will destroy anything laying around).
At any point in your contract you can add 2 years to get the discount on a new phone, and I dont plan on changing my Sprint unlimited plan if I dont have to. If you keep your phone for 2 years, you've already spent the cost of a new phone for nothing. I think I've had 4 or 5 phones over the last 10 years, the first one I paid for insurance, never used it. Since then Ive never bought insurance, never needed it.

1. Break phone
2. Go to Sprint(AT&T, t-mobile, etc) store, tell them a sob story 3. Sign up for 2 more years and get a new phone for the discounted "upgrade" price. This might not work if your phone breaks all the time or you JUST upgraded recently.
