3rd party phone insurance for one x? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

basically looking for non att phone insurance
and example would be zaggs
http://www.zagg.com/store/services/zaggsafe/safe.php
which i was going to buy but after calling them found out it only covers like 3 phones, none of which are the one x.
so does anyone have an recommendations ?

Squaretrade?

has anyone used ensquared before ?
like that it covers lost/stolen

I love square trade. No idea if it covers lost/stolen

ugh square trade doesnt cover lost but enquared does but requires a police report
"1.20 When I make a claim what do I need available?
Three things: Your credit card in all events (damaged, lost or stolen); if lost or stolen then police report or details of where and to whom you reported the loss/theft with particulars like police station, station phone number, officer name and number etc; proof of purchase like bill of sale in case the claims centre requires information from this document."
which is kinda ridiculousness but at least id have lost coverage

I really like the best buy warranty. $10/month and there is no deductible, cancelable at any time. Covers everything as long as you have the phone in your possession.

If you didn't sign for either and they were just left on your door, then you have a question to ask yourself
Are you a person concerned with "Ethics"? If so test both, see which one has less bugs and screen bleed, then send back your original and the lesser of the two replacements
If not, call T-Mobile and check your order history WITHOUT mentioning you got two G2X replacements, and ask for tracking numbers associated to any orders including warranty replacements.
If only one G2X order exists in the system, match the tracking number to its phone and use only THAT phone never turning on the other one
Get a replacement battery cover from LG, a charger and battery online, sell as new no box on Craigslist with a prepaid number, delete the ad and email, throw the prepaid sim away, profit.
Mail the extra one to me. :O

I've had good luck with Craig's List but remember to follow the rules:

A little Craigslist tip, send your seller multiple extremely low offers from separate email accounts, lower his confidence a little before going in for the real but still below value offer.

Lol nice im trying that next time
this Thunderbolt has been Infected with a Virus for all Eternity
I usually sell mine on Ebay and buy them on craigslist or Ebay.
Swappa.com is another. It's where I bought my Thunderbolt.
You can also sell your used/broken phone at Buy Back Pros other than Amazon or eBay. I can say this because I also sold my broken phone at Buy Back Pros where I got a very good price there even all beyond my expectations. They provide me free pickup and also the 30 days money guarantee

Att htc one x vs beach

thats right just after a few days with my one x i decided to take my gf to a beach party for her bday, she got drunk and sat on my phone. yes sea water got in the phone and trust me it was bad. phone still worked but screen was flashing. phone works fine except for the screen theres no backlight but with a light (flashlight) pointing at the screen you can see stuff. i opoened the phone to see how was the inside and the sea water completly rusted almost eerything its incredible the phone still works seriously its a very bad mess. i cleaned it with some cottons with alcohol and scraped some of the rust but screen is bust. i didnt have insurance so i am screwed. going to try to buy a new screen see if that works.
edit: i was able to get att insurance on it lol 199 deductible is better than no phone or buying a screen
Ha! I love the title of this thread! Sorry about your misfortune though. Glad you were able to get the insurance... hopefully they won't cry foul play.

Don't most insurance plans have like a certain time frame from when you sign up to when you can make your first claim? Like 90 days or something
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I thought At&T was 30 days, which in this case is good because the phone has barely been out for 30 days. I'd wait a week or two before submitting the claim maybe just so it doesn't look like you broke the phone then bought the insurance rather than the other way around lol.
That blows. My One X lost the fight against a swimming pool so I know you're pain. I had to pay the $199 deductible too. Just be prepared to wait for them to backorder the phone. You definitely won't be getting one overnight probably. I had to wait a week and a half, but it's getting here today finally!
yeah, am planing on waiting a few weeks before i make the claim, ive been looking and reading to see if there's like a period before my first claim but haven't found anything yet. currently using my old iphone 4s lol i miss the one x. without a doubt htc one x is better, and ive been using iphones since iphone 3g

Its not fraud. AT&T insurance covers accidental damage. They cover everything actually, which is why its 7 or 10 dollars a month PLUS a $200 deductible.

besides that the only thing they ask for you to add the insurance is an upgrade or new line and less than 30 days with it.

Actually it technically is insurance fraud because they expect you to sign up a device that is fully functional and not already broken. Why do you think apple stores require an inspection of the device in which you are purchasing apple care plus for when purchasing within the 30 day period? To prevent fraudulent claims.

Pretty sure the insurance covers lost or stolen phones also. because you opened it they might not like that. Dont ask me why but they dont. Or you could accidentally run over it, then it wouldnt matter lol.

Well you should tell the ATT salesman that helped me that its fraud. He told me that even if something happened to the phone i could still come buy the insurance as long as i was in the allotted time frame.. Otherwise they would require an inspection. Dont you think its odd that they dont? because it doesnt matter. At least thats what ATT told me.

They give you 30 days. Otherwise they would only let you sign up at the time of purchase. I know what Im talking about, Ive asked this very question to a Regional Manager (not a store manager). They dont care, because then you're locked into paying $200 and $10 every month for 24 months.
thats why they do it via the phone, how are they going to inspect?

You can get insurance on the phone even if it is broken, they are still making money so they don't care.

I don't think an AT&T rep would be the best source. He makes commission off selling you the insurance, so of course he wants to sign you up.
At POS, you can sign up. Within 30 days, you can sign up with an inspection. Beyond 30 days, no insurance options. Anything else is fraud.
And there's no contract on the insurance. You can cancel at any time, but if it's after 30 days you can't re-enroll.
BTW, I worked for AT&T and reps like you're describing were the least favorite part of my job. When I told the customer the truth, I was made out to be the bad guy.

Do you know what fraud is? Fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain. So when AT&T allows you up to the first 30 days to put insurance on your phone, even if its damaged, please tell me how thats being deceptive. Its not if the company allows it in any condition as long as its within the 30 days.
If you want to call it fraud, then go ahead. Call it whatever you want. The point is, is that AT&T will put insurance on the phone within the 30 days, working or not because you will still have to pay the $200 deductible and the $10/month plan for 24 months.
There is no reason to argue just for the sake of using a term. The main point here, is AT&T allowing insurance.

Not arguing...simply stating fact. You described exactly what he was doing to a tee...he is intentionally deceiving at&t for his gain. You seem to think because at&t covers water damage, that he is OK within 30 days. That would be true if he didn't already have the damage...that's like buying homeowners insurance after your house burned down. I'm done on this, as it's not a huge deal...but it is fraud in every way.

Though it may technically be fraudulent, give the guy a break man. With the high prices AT&T charges (I just signed up with them for this phone @ $110/month!!!) I'd like to think they would cover an accidental situation like this. It isn't like the OP intentionally threw his phone into the beach. If it happened to anyone I'd wish AT&T would allow it.

Good deal. 32GB for $325?

Two weeks old on CL said he would do $325 only includes phone..no charger, box or anything. Would you guys take it? I'm trying to decide my sprint contract is up Feb 1 and i was interested in this phone and switching to T Mobile

i can only agree with fellow XDA member.
if you buy new device (high end) you will defon keep the box... maybe the charger can kinda get lost (in work, school, or something) but defo not the box... and the price he is sellling it at is not a "steal"... so save few more bucks bro and get your hands on brand new boxed nexie.
take care...
My friend just bought a Black 32GB just the phone and cable, no box or charger, for 300$ of CL here in the Seattle area, he just made sure he checked the IMEI using Swappa.com (they have a free IMEI/ESN checker, be careful with other sites that claim to check IMEI/ESN's for you, cause some of those are just phishing for these numbers, and once you put them in, they will tell you its ok, but then copy the number themselves and use it for cloning devices, or for changing the IMEI on a blacklisted phone, to the white-listed IMEI you gave them. Also once you use a legit IMEI checker, call your service provider and tell them you are purchasing this right now and have the dude talk to them to verify this, you could also call whatever provider he was using, if any, so that way there's record of him selling. or you could just meet at one of your service providers stores. If they aren't willing to do that, and are absolutely set on not meeting there, then yea, somethings up. But I would at least try the approach I suggested cause you may end up getting a very good deal, and if not, then you didn't lose anything cause you took steps to ensure your protection, so no harm no foul.
AND NEVER GO ALONE ! Guy or Girl. I am 27, 6'3", ex-military, and a Guitarist who is well known in the local scene so most people in the area know me, but I still don't do CL deals by myself. I even have my CHL and carry either a Glock 19 Gen 2, or a FNH FNP Tactical .45 (not always, but sometimes, I am an opencarry adovacate, but i wont get into that here lol), and still dont go alone, can't stress that one enough. a dear friend of mine was raped in Tacoma, WA while trying to buy a crib for her daughter and i wish everyday that she woulda called me or one of our friends to go with...
The final bit of advice I can give, is trust your gut. Sounds cliche, but its true. If you feel like somethings off, it prolly is, and even if it isn't, is your life, or overall well-being, worth getting less then 100$ off on a phone, ya dig.
Not sure I agree with the people who say if you don't have a box, its probably stolen. I sold a phone without a box because when I bought it, the person at the t-mobile store told me that I would get a $10 bill credit if I let them recycle the box. Sounded sketchy to me, but I did actually get the credit.
And running the IMEI through swaapa just proves that it hasn't been marked as stolen YET. The seller could stop paying payments (if they have tmo) and the IMEI gets blacklisted then.

Not worth
No go people. It's not about being stolen, I've had my phone stolen before and I needed to send my box and service agreement into Asurion. It could be that he has the box and may sell it but then report it stolen after the fact. I've done business on craigslist plenty of times and actually learned this the hard way about a year ago when I bought a Nexus 4 blacklisted from T-Mobile about 3 days after I bought it and was working. Always get the box with the IMEI sticker still attached when buying phones on craigslist, in most cases your better off than not.

[Q] Got scammed

So I bought a moto g 16gb unlocked on ebay. It was case open, but practically unused, and it was £20 cheaper so I bought it. There was an issue with the SIM, it wouldn't even detect it so I thought the pins were broken. Took it in for repair, turns out the IMEI is blacklisted and phone most likely stolen, so my question is, is it possible to change the IMEI and still make it work? Or get the IMEI unlocked? Is there any workaround for this or am I permanently screwed with this phone?
You are screw imei. Tampering is highly illegal, except this was done over ebay which means PayPal was in play bring it up with them. You may get your cash back also check the disscription make sure it wasn't buried in their

You'd be pretty pissed off if someone stole your Moto G, fixed the IMEI blacklist then was able to sell it... unless you stole it joking
Seriously though bring it up with Paypal.
Re-read the Ebay listing and make sure it is NOT listed ANYWHERE in the description about being blacklisted.
Then, as everyone is suggesting, at least bring it to the attention of PayPal and eBay.
A blacklisted phone by IMEI can't be recovered ever again, because [Corrections allowed] when somebody calls to it's carrier to block their stolen phone by IMEI, they block/blacklist it and that wouldn't be suposed to turn on, or at least that's what i've read weeks ago. That blacklist would make that not even another countries carrier SIM cards work on that phone. :/
Technically that Moto G is now an iPod Touch. :/
I don't know 'that' well those online shopping sites (ebay, mercadolibre, amazon, etc.) but you could be able to report or, (corrections) take legal actions against the user that sold you that.
Just saying.

no. his device is blacklisted only in his country. users abroad can use it
Did not know that...
So if I were to purchase a device online that has been blacklisted in, say, Europe, I could use it here in North America?
I just thought the IMEI be blocked everywhere.
Blacklisting is available only in the UK afaik, besides you should get a refund from eBay/PP/Seller, it's quite easy.
Otherwise it can be used in any other country w/o a problem.
Also there is a way to unblock it if you got the original box. Probably the idiot sold it and then reported it stolen.
Some time ago I was looking for American iPhones but some were black listed and I've been told that you can't use them here in Europe

Paypal protection is there for this sort of thing and is pretty easy to make a claim, why someone can't be bothered is a mystery indeed, unless there's more to this than has been told.
EBay Buyer Protection is a wondrous thing. Also for phones just go to swappa.com.

Okay, well I'm about done with drama, I know this guy is a scammer, I had some arguments and he's a total scammer and I can't be bothered to mess with paypal legal team and whatnot. I was just wondering if there's an alternative way to get it fixed, guess not though. I might just give it to a relative as an ipod touch.

there is a way but you wont find it here because there are some ppl that want to unblacklist their hard days work of stealing phones. I feel what you are going through and you need to serch google as there are plenty of sites offering the service.... I had one done over the web on a telus note 2 and worked flawlessly. and yes I got scammed too... on ebay.
