Warranty/Insurance Coverage Comparison Chart

Here's a comparison chart I just created of warranty and insurance coverage for smart phones.
Comparison is between SquareTrade, Worth Ave Group, ToughCell, and Sprint TEP. I did not include others as I am not really familiar with them or haven't heard of them. I have Sprint, worked with SquareTrade, and will probably be going with Worth Ave Group in the near future. I did my best to be as accurate as possible but things may be different! Feel free to suggest corrections and/or additions. I'll update/fix it and repost whenever I get the chance.
**This information may not be 100% percent accurate so ask questions to whichever party you choose before signing up for anything, anywhere! Things change, and information found on their websites may change or may be incorrect! All information in this chart is collected from their respectful websites and recent experience**
*Coverage compared is for SMARTPHONES only, NOT iPhones or anything else* No, I'm not saying iPhones aren't smartphones, they have their own category on most of the websites of these providers.

[Q] about US Mobile Service Providers ( ATT,T-mobile, Verizon,Sprint ...etc)

Hi all
As i mentioned in the topic title
Why do these service providers make the international mobiles so gay and change the whole design just to take the exclusivity !!!
for example the Galaxy S II GT-I9100 , the whole world use the one in the pic below

}
But what AT&T do , is making a whole new design and release their own Galaxy S II which is on the below pic
and many other smart phones and mobiles
Why they never follow earth standard?? why do they like to be so gay!!
I only need to know for what reasons they do it

While I agree the US does get a lot of cool phones, we get shafted up the ass w/out the lube over plan pricing and what features are locked/done away with vs what is unlocked/allowed to the rest of the world.
It's a real trade off and I'd rather have a phone the rest of the world already has with better pricing/data options and tabs that can make phone calls.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

My app IDIALIT

Good morning and Good evening to all.( depending on your location lol)
My application " IdIalit " was created a few months back and i have previously shared it with you guys but i wanted to re post it incase new members have joined.
My friend and I put in hundreds of hours into making this app and I think almost everyone can benefit from using it.
Basically what this app does is instead of you calling a major company and getting frustrated trying to navigate their options to get a human being on the line - our app does all that for YOU. Just pick a company from our list and watch our app call that company, press all the required digits till you the user are in the queue for a representative and from there you just wait till someone answers the phone.
I want to point out that there is no trick that we used to accomplish this. We literally sat there and called each company on our list and tried and tried all the possible combinations till we got it right.
Here is a link to our app. I hope you guys use it and enjoy it.
Thank You

Cricket/AIO merging. What does this mean for us?

*****THIS HAS BEEN POSTED ON SEVERAL FORUMS*****
I got a text message on my phone today from Cricket. It told me Cricket and AIO have or are currently in the process of merging and gave me a link in the text for more info regarding what will happen and change during this transition.
Site: http://merger-info.aiowireless.com/
check it out for yourself. It gives less than ANY info. It does say though, that Cricket users will be required to buy a new device at some point when the merge is completed to continue to recieve service.
I bought my Samsung galaxy s3 from Cricket in early December.
It is 4g LTE compatible and uses a sim card, even though it says clearly throughout the Cricket site that they use CDMA devices.
Does this mean it can still be used after the merge, or will I STILL need to buy a new device? I believe it is a gsm compatible device.
I will include a picture of my phone, with the back cover showing it is a Cricket phone that has a sim card slot. That actually has a sim card in it.

Providers by Cost Breakdown

Hi. Not sure where this goes but I haven't seen this broken out before. I took the liberty to break out each provider's plans by GB cost break down. Allow me to explain;
1. This breakdown reflects US pricing/availability only and from the top carriers (no pre-paid). I can branch this out to other carriers should this become popular.
2. Each provider has data promotions happening right now (until 10/31/14). I've taken those in to account.
3. I've created comparison formatting for the price breakdowns from VZW to AT&T exclusively as they're the biggest providers in the US at the time of this posting. Blue represents AT&T and appears where it is cheaper than VZW (red). Green highlighted text shows where costs are the same.
4. None of these numbers take in to account availability/coverage/etc - it's simple math of GB per dollar.
5. Numbers take in to account per device costs and break down by most popular plans of either 2 device or 4 device family share plans (no single lines) and does not take in to account taxes.
If you guys like this, let me know and I'll expand it as best I can.
