Insurance on the NS?

Can you get insurance through Tmobile with this phone?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Nope. I just ordered mine and talked to T-Mobile about insurance, as of right now they are not covering the NS. Maybe later they will...?

Thanks, I'll hold off on it for now then.

I did mine through Best Buy. They cover everything but loss. Should be enough. I hope....

Insurance from Best Buy
Offered at $10/month. Not worth it, IMHO.

I already had the $4.99 insurance on my line for the mytouch 4g and called t-mobile to see if it would transfer. The rep told me it would automatically cover the new phone including theft and loss. $120 deductible if theft or loss and free replacement for hardware and other warranty issues.

I was thinking to same since it didn't cover loss, but the t-mobile one was 4.99 so its not that much more...

Good call, just confirmed this with T-Mobile as well. Now I'm worry free.

Will T-Mobile handset insurance still apply for this handset?
"T-Mobile will not be selling the phone so they will not be offering their insurance. We recommend Best Buy's Geek Squad Black Tie Protection ($9.99 per month)."

time to call t-mobile, again to confirm. maybe if I get 5 yes's its gotta be true right?

Weird just got off the phone with assuron (spelling?) and they said that it will probably be covered, similar to the nexus one, but what was weird was when he said that with the nexus one, when people said their phone broke, they would send a comparable phone ie. vibrant....

Id be careful with the best buy insurance, i bought it a long time ago once on my iPod which ended up breaking which they had to send it in and have them look into the issue to see if they would cover it, 3 weeks later i get it returned to me saying they would not cover the problem. I believe it won't cover a LOT of things that the T-Mobile like lost or water damange, so i would be careful getting the best buy "insurance" plan for this phone.
Also T-Mobiles insurance website, w**.phoneclaim.com/t-mobile does not list the Nexus S as one of the items they will be covering and i spoke with two T-Mobile reps in stores that said that it would not be covered, this is the main reason i am holding off on getting the phone.
Best of luck to all and i hope none of you need to worry about it anyways!

Best Buy Mobile offers $10/month for any accidental damage including water. NO DEDUCTIBLE, UNLIMITED claims. 48-72 hour rapid exchange process.
does not cover lost/stolen

I purchaed my insurance through squaretrade.com.
I have used them before with no problems on a claim. $100 up front, $50 dollar deductable if you break it.

Best option, as always, is to claim it through your home or renters insurance. It barely touches your policy and is much easier to file a claim, provided you have a solid insurance company.

^This. $100 is for 2 years, which comes to $4.17/mo

I'll wait until the 25th. They'll probably release coupons that can get you can extra 10-20% off.

I got it too. No questions asked and no deductible for $10 is alright to me..

I also called T-Mobile to confirm and my rep said yes, my insurance will transfer over to the new phone.

verizon tbolt replacement

so i decided to go ice skating with my tbolt in my pocket cause i was gonna take videos of my sister falling down. i left the evo and my work bb in the locker cause i wouldnt need three phones.
well wouldnt you know, i was the first to fall and shattered the tbolt screen near the bottom. basically on screen keyboard down.
anyway, since i just got on verizon service less than two weeks ago i go to their store for help. they cant replace it and require me to call asurion. so i do and fill out their online forms. turns out ill have my phone tomorrow. they are also shipping a new memory card, battery, and home charger! i just need to swap my sim over and i should be good to go.
oh..it was only $99 and the overnight (or two day - you choose) is free.
just wanted to pass that info on.

which means that you are paying $7 a month for the asurion insurance through verizon. stinks that you have to pay a deductible, I ran my phone over with my car and Best Buy's protection plan got me a brand new phone with no deductible, although I paid $10 a month for it.

What information exactly are you trying to relay to us?

Refer to the original post. He didn't get a picture of his sister falling.

I've found their insurance to be crap you have to wait a month for them to ship you a new one and then pay 150 for a phone to use while you wait

FS: [BRAND NEW] Samsung Galaxy 8.9 Keyboard Dock

I recently received this as a gift. However I already own one and don't have a need for other one.
It is a brand new item with Samsung sealing intact.
So if anyone has an interest, please let me know. I will sell it for $28. Shipping will be additional $7 (by FedEx).

$28 ?
I suspect that's a typo lol

No, it's not. Not trying to make any serious profit from fellow Galaxy 8.9 admirers.

Wow. That's an incredible price. If I didn't have one already I'd be all over this. Its an excellent piece of gear - absolutely transforms the tablet into a mini laptop.

That is indeed very generous of you, just a pity you're not shipping outside of the US

I too have a brand new keyboard dock that I'm not using. Same price + actual cost for international shipping (I have no idea what it is). If someone is interested please PM me.

Sold.

ghost you still selling?

I'm a buyer in Georgia US if anyone is selling.

Hi all-
sorry. I haven't checked this forum or my PMs in a while. Yes, I still have the dock. It is still brand new and unopened and sitting on my desk. Same price as before: $28 + actual cost of shipping (my estimate is that it will be ~$7 for domestic US shipping).
Please email me if you're interested. agasthya at gmail dot com
thanks.

Also, I have an SD Card thingie that plugs into the dock port if anyone is interested (also new and unopened). It is this thing: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PLRBEGSTA
I think $10 shipped is a pretty fair price for that guy. Same deal. if you're interested please shoot me an email.

you still havit it?

MT4GS full body case

Hi! I would like to ask if is there anyone that sell a full body case replacement for mt4gs? I got mine from a friend so obviously it's second hand and it's already full of scratches/nicks in the metal plate side so I thought about replacing it and failed to find anyone selling it.
I am not talking about those colored cover thingies on ebay. I am talking about the real case of mt4gs. I am loving this phone physically and I'm pretty sure I won't be shifting phones anytime soon since I am a qwerty enthusiast and the upcoming samsung relay 4g just got rejected by my taste.

I've looked into this as well, and there are a couple links on google if you type in "mytouch 4g slide full housing" or something along the lines of that. I'm on my phone, so no links heh.
I lied. Check www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-Mytouch-4G-Slide-Housing-p/htc745670.htm.

Hmm I'm outside US and seems like they require Federal Tax ID what's that? @[email protected]

Lol that's weird, since it is called global direct parts. I'd check Ebay out Amazon if you haven't already.

Ok already email them and I got a reply saying...
As a wholesale distributor, we only serve cellphone repair shops, wireless retail stores, refurbishers, insurance companies, and other wholesale purchasers. We do not supply the general public or end users repairing their own personal devices at this time. If you are repairing your own device, we recommend you take your device to a qualified repair technician.

Checked ebay they aren't selling any lol! amazon I dunno...

Ah I guess that's why they needed a tax id: to prove you are going to resell it.
Well, I tried lol. I've been looking to buy one as well, but just to keep as a spare just in case. Maybe you can find a repair shop in your area that would sell you the housing. Idk, good luck though haha.
On a side note, my friend was able to buy housing for a SGS2 a month ago from a repair shop down here. They said they don't normally do that, but (and I seriously think this) because she's hot, they "made an exception". They didn't wanna sell it to me so she went in the next day and asked the same question. I love the world we live in haha.

I wish I could lol! But I don't live in US. And mt4gs isn't even sold in our country so my only choice is buying online.

alright, this looks like somewhere you would be able to buy, but the price is kinda steep. it runs about 80 bucks, and for that price i'm willing to just buy another case to hide the battlescars on my phone lol.

I couldn't find one at any Verizon store. Tried several around Jacksonville, FL. None had it or knew anything about it. I was willing to pay the $50 for instant gratification, but it didn't pan out. Anyone who can get them should pick up a few and resell them, either at cost or make a few bucks.

I did the same in the Orange Park and Fleming Island area. I got a speech from one store saying they were removed because they are dangerous and wireless charging causes fires. LOL.

I bought one off Ebay in OEM (crap) packaging for $57. The seller had 70units. Unfortunately it arrived DOA so I am hoping he still has a replacement available when the RMA gets back to him. I've paid shipping twice now and will actually end up being about $80 (if he still has one) :crying:

"holiday12" is the code. It's good until Dec 7th.

thanks for that but it says out of stock

Nexus slides right off if you r not using a case so i went to my local walmart and bought some sticky bumpers it doesnt look pretty but had to be done
