Phone insurance from square trade?

[capo745]

Does anyone have insurance with these guys? Is it reliable? It says it only costs about $80 for two years. Tempting, but I'd like to know if some one in this forum has it. Thanks.

People have had great experiences with them with the Amazon Kindle. I assumed theyd be good for the droid as well.

I got the squaretrade ins...if something happens they cut u a check for $400. There is no lost device coverage though. Figured it was better than the verizon ripoff

I don't know about them personally, but I tend to stick with the VZW offered insurance because I know their track record.

LOL you have clearly never used them.

I went to their website and it looks like a better deal than verizon. it has a A+ rating by the BBB too which is really good. plus the deductible is $50 not $90 and its $76 for 2 years vs. $192 for verizon. The only catch is they only cover up to $399 for the phone. hmm. might be worth it... what do you guy think?

This is a Kindle owners site, search square trade there, they seem to have nothing but good things to say about em:

I use the VZW insurance. Since the Droid is $500 not $400 plus the deductible I say you lose getting only $400 for your damaged phone. I can pay the $6 a month. I know i'll get a new device for $79 with it. Also I have used the insurance once and it was fantastic. I had a new BB in 24 hours.

I have filed 7 claims with asurion over 6 years and never once had a problem. I had a piss poor track record with beating up treo 650's but never once had a problem with the folks at asurion. Just 6 months ago I had my Storm replaced and it was fine.

That being said, I am on a 5/month 50 dollar deductible plan since I've had it for so long.

I just purchased insurance through squaretrade and I saw the $399 for $76 and I called them an explained that the Droid replacement is $559.99 so I had them give me the insurance cost for $559.99 on the Droid and had a 35% coupon code and the total for $559.99 insurance came to $87.99 for 2 years. They assured me that it will be covered for that amount if anything happens. So i feel really comfortable knwing that if I do something to it I will get the full amount mailed to me for replacement....probably minus the $50 deductable (Which is better than the $89 from verizon and getting a refurbished phone in return).

The thing is you have to do this over the phone with them as there isn't an option on the website to choose.
