I also was wondering does the Samsung galaxy S3 have a 1 year warranty like the iPhone?

I think almost all phones have a standard 1 year warranty. For insurance, i have Asurion through Verizon. However, there are others such as Squaretrade.
Anyone know how Asurion and Squaretrade insurance compares to Best Buy's insurance? I bought my GS3 at BB.
I am wondering also. Best buy told me they changed their warranty policy and do not try to fix the phone anymore, they just replace it.... I wonder if they lied?
I bought my phobe from ebay... Can i still insure it???
VERIZON GALAXY S 3
Asurion is more expensive than squartrade but asurion offers lost or stolen correct? can you insure with BB if you didnt buy it there?

Best Buy changed that a long time ago. I had the service plan on them with my old evo and I brought it in witha problem 4 or 5 times. I dropped it off, paid a $50 deposit and 2 or 3 days later I would get a basically new phone from them, drop off the loaner phone and get my deposit back. It's pricy ($10/mo) but it covers water damage, physical damage, defects and just about anything else. I just bought my GS3 there yesterday and got the service plan again and it's still the same coverage but they added a thing where if you trade in that phone when you are done with it you get $50 back on top of the trade in price. Pretty damned good deal if you ask me.

They said they would insure any new phone thats less than 30 days old. even if you didnt buy it there.
I use the best buy insurance. 10 a month on the 2 s3s and a g nex. If you get the full coverage and have an extra phone you can use you won't have to pay for a loaner phone. Also no deductible. Assurion is complete joke. 100 dollar deductibles and you will only get 2, YES 2 phones. I did this with my htc thunderbolt and received a letter in the mail from them stating that my insurance is dropped because I reached the 2 phone limit.
Insurance? What's that? I've never carried it lol.

For better or worse, it seems that Verizon treats you differently if you have insurance through them/Asurion. A couple of years ago, I was having a problem with my LG Voyager and took it in to them. They told me it was a known problem with the phone, and they were going to let me pick from three other phones right there at the store.
A co-worker's wife had the same phone with the same problems, so I told them to go in and try and get the replacement. When they went in, they were told they couldn't get a free replacement phone like I did, and that it was because they didn't have the insurance on the phone.
I've used insurance enough in the past to warrant me continuing to use it, so when I heard this, I figured I'll just stick with Verizon's Aurion insurance due to the benefits that possibly come with it.

This.
I've also been eying ensquared. It looks like the best, but I'd like to hear if anyone has experience with them.
The BB insurance seems like the way to go. So basically for $10 a month you continually drop your phone, and you will get a brand new device each time? Not that I would do that, but it would be nice to have that piece of mind instead of having to worry so much about your phone...
I will definitely be buying my next phone from them if they don't change this policy.

VZ rep told me a $199 deductible. When I started laughing at her, she said it was an $800 device. I declined.
Okay ya it asurion is a 100 dollar deductible but it covers lost and stolen phones. No other does that I know of without having a deductible. Best buy is 10 dollars a month combine that with asurion so your covered if its lost or stolen. That's 17 dollars a month or 204 dollars year. 2 year contract that's 408 dollars.

Bestbuy insurance is more expensive a month (cheaper in the long run) but not better imo. They take your phone and send it off to get repaired which sometimes can take a month to get back (friends was 3 weeks). If you want a loaner you have to put down a deposit for it too. They also dont cover lost/stolen phones from what I heard. Yes vzw's insurance has a $100 deductible on smart phones but they next day air you the replacement and iirc the 2nd time u file a claim they wave the $100 or drop it to $50? I remember something like that with my brothers phone but not 100% on that.
I have the best buy coverage and it's been great. 10ish a month, and no deductible.
I have replaced my wife's phone twice, (its my 18 month Olds favorite toy), had a loaner for no more then 2 days, paid 50 for the loaner, but that gets given back when I return the loaner.
Verizon coverage is more a month, 100 deductible. As long as she doesn't lose it, I feel like it's paid for itself easily.

I had to send in my old phone twice through Best Buy. Each time it only took 2 days to get a new phone because they would send me a new (well... Refurbed...) phone instead of repairing my old one
It now covers lost/stolen phones. And it's only a dollar more per month. Totally worth it, IMO.

VZW will only give 1 year warranty refurbished phones when bought from their stores/phone or their on-line site.
No third party phones. unless u get lucky for instance,
if you bought an incredible 4g off eBay and it crapped out and needed a refurbish, since you bought off eBay you can't get a 1 year warranty replacement from VZW, but if someone else on your line has the same phone, and bought it from VZW and is within the 1 year warranty, just call in and activate the eBay phone with issues to the line that has the phone bought from VZW, get a refurbish sent and send back the eBay phone.
now.. this is 100% going to work, but I've personally done this and it worked, but don't blame me if it doesn't

Verizon is $6.99 a month and the 1yr warranty from the manufacture gets extended for life of the phone (vzw will replace it after the 1st yr). But yes you do have a deductible on lost/stolen/damaged. If you want just the insurance without the extended lifetime warranty its $5.18 a month. So really its cheaper for just the insurance, BB is $10 x 24 mnths = $240. VZW is $5.18 x 24 mnths = $125. So if you only use the insurance once then it saves you $15
Whoa I didn't notice all the replies haha. I'm just thinking about doing an insurance thing since the gps is never 100 percent.

If the phone is under a year old Verizon should just replace it without going through insurance. They most certainly send you a certified-like-new device. If the process is handled by Verizon it will either be free or like $3 for overnight shipping.

If your phone is more than a year old, you will have to go through the insurance. It will cost $99 and you get a brand new phone not a refurb.
If you have the complete verizon insurance package you dont need to go through insurance they will replace it for you, they did the same for mine when it wouldnt turn out
From what I was told you have to pay $90
As long as you paid for insurance. Which is 10 a month for two years or $100 up front which covers the two years
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If you have insurance through Verizon Wireless (not some authorized seller of Verizon products) it is handled by Asurion, a third party insurance provider. If you need insurance replacement (lost, stolen, or damaged phone) it is $99 dollars. The phone you get from Asurion will most likely be refurbished but occasionally they do send new ones depending on stock.
If the port has stopped working because of a manufacturer defect with the device and not because it was damaged somehow, then you have to go through Verizon. If it's under warranty (been less than a year since you purchased the device) or if it's been more than a year and you have an extended warranty the device will be replaced at no charge through Verizon
If it's a manufacturer's defect the insurance company won't replace it. It has to be covered by warranty.

I don't believe so. Apparently Best Buy ended up changing their insurance policy as well to where there is now a deductible. I got tired of the crap I was having with AT&T and ended up buying a nexus 5 from the Google Play Store and switching to T-Mobile.
phone insurance is worhtless. For example, the S4 insurance for T-mobile is $10-12 a month. then you pay close to $180 when you claim one. So lets say you claim one after 10 months. That's $100-$120+180= $280-$300. on top of that you get a refurbished one. I know its a peace of mind but why not just put those $10 on the side instead of paying the company. and hope you don't ever break the phone. and if you do, then you got cash to pay for a fix. that's the way I see it.

I suppose it depends on the policy but I agree for some it is not suitable.
For me it is though. My Nexus 5 cost £300. I pay £7 a month for complete cover and get a brand new device with no "excess" to pay.
So in 1 year I have paid £84 which is not enough to buy a new replacement.
Im covered for accidental damage, loss and theft. For me this is peace of mind. I've had 2 of the 3 things happen before

What policy do you have?
Not sure for you other countries but many US credit card companies offer different perks for being a member. My phone is covered for free with a very low deductible, I think $25, when I pay my cell phone bill with my Wells Fargo credit card.
For this phone, it's not worth paying insurance for because you could get a new or used one cheap.

Really? TEP is a total ripoff. 10 bucks a month PLUS a $150 deductible on the off chance that you actually have to use it. Seems like kind of a questionable reason to sell your awesome new phone, especially when you can get a brand new one for $350. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

I'd never buy insurance on a $350 phone but I have Worth Ave Group insurance on my son's iphone.
Why not set the $150 aside and then put away $10/mo as insurance?? You'd reach the outright purchase price of the phone pretty quick if you ever ran in to problems. It can't possibly be that hard to set aside some reserve in case your phone dies.
Sell the phone, then pay $450 for the same phone from Sprint, they'll let you pay $11 per month for high deductible insurance.
$450 cost of phone
$150 deductible if you lose it once.
$11 per month x 24 ? = $264
Spigen has both cases and screen protectors. http://stores.ebay.com/spigensgp/
I don't buy any other.

You can't get tep only insurance for if its physically damaged or liquid damaged which is dumb. But I'm a technician for sprint so if your in northern Virginia I can try to help you the best I can. But it may change in the future I will let my higher ups know and get this addressed to try to help not only you but people with this phone cause I don't think its fair that if your speaker goes out that you would have to pay $53 or $75 once they change it for not having in store coverage which cannot be covered. I think with all the people I know I should be able to get something done I'll post back when I get something confirmed but rest assured I will get tep for this phone for everyone that wants it.

Forget the fact that you have insurance, how many times have you had to claim insurance in all the years you had the smartphone? I had TEP for my HTC Touch Pro for almost 1.5 years back in 2009/2010 and I only claimed it once. To me it was a rip off and this was when it was still $7/mo. At $11/mo currently it is even more of a rip off. To add insult to injury the Galaxy Nexus 5 is only $350 unlike the GS4 or iPhone 5S which are $650-$700.
Hi everyone.
So for the first time, I plumped for insurance. Because I am so paranoid about breaking that screen on my S8+.
I've never had it before (I had Apple Care on my iPhone) and am just curious as to your experiences of T-Mobile's plan. I was toying with going with Samsung's Premium Care because it says they deliver a replacement to your door, but the Tmobile guy convinced me to try theirs instead.
What I'm wondering is what happens if you break the screen? (I'm guessing people did this with the S7E and the S6E).. Say I call Tmobile and tell them, do they make me send the phone off for repair or do they ship a replacement out to me and then we swap? I'm used to Apple Care where they would take the deductible and then just replace in store.
I believe the Samsung one is near to that (not in store, but they deliver the replacement to you) so wonder how T-Mobile vary. If it's the kind of thing where they are going to make me wait weeks to have it fixed, I'll cancel it.
Thanks.
I've been. T Mobile customer since day 1. I've had the regular & jump insurance since I had my G1. I've only had to replace my phone 2 times since then. Once from theft and once from cracked screen both times i had to pay the premium which was around $100-$200 depending on the price of the phone. Once the replacement comes you send them the broken one. This time around I am trying out Samsung's Insurance.
My insurance is included with my jump 1 program. T-Mobile uses a third party insurance company called Assurant. The deductible for for my S7 flat was $175. As the previous poster said, you fork out the dough, they send you a new or refurbished device along with a return shipping label. The newer the phone, the more likely you are to receive a brand new and not a refurbished device. The more expensive these devices get, the higher your deductible is going to be. I've never used another insurance before.

T mobile is doing it a bit different now for some reason if your device has defects they send the replacement to a tmobile store where they will inspect your phone before they give you the replacement its happen twice like this that ive seen . My sister just did it they just charged her the 5 dollar shipping fee since it was hardware issue but the guy said that their insurnace claims will be handled like that from now on , waste of personal time IMO but i guess saves them money from people trying to pull a fast one

This has been my experience as well regarding the process. I have been in a TMobile store when a huge argument have broken out regarding the need to replace a phone. So if I have any doubts I just say I lost it because I don't want any rep trying to be God.
This is great - thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be in the situation where I called them to say I had a smashed screen, they sent me a returns label and then I had to send the phone off and wait three weeks for it to be fixed or anything like that.
Do they tend to issue replacements fairly quickly? I'm on the policy with Jump. Not that I have any intention of using it but I'm paranoid about this screen!!!

My sister just did it they just charged her the 5 dollar shipping fee since it was hardware issue but the guy said that their insurnace claims will be handled like that from now on , waste of personal time IMO but i guess saves them money from people trying to pull a fast one

That's the warranty exchange process. I agree. Completely waste of time.
For the insurance claim, once approved, they ship the replacement phone overnight to the house.

you gotta make a claim with the insurance company.
They will charge you whatever the deductible is. You pay that and they send you a phone next day air.
Get that new phone and put the old one back in the box and return it. All prepaid labels.
You can do this 2 times a year.

I just got my claim approved. Seeing as the s8+ juts came out, do you think I'll get a brand new device or a refurbished? Do you think it will be the same color as my current one?

I got another question. So I received my replacement device and it came in with all the accessories, including the afg headphones. When I send my old phone to them, do I need to send all the accessories with it? I'm wanting to keep the headphones at least

They never ask for them.
