One more reason to not bother with the waste of money that is mobile phone insurance :icon_ banana:

Was this through Asurion? Is there NO talking them into sending a Maxx instead?

You may get one if you tell them you had multiple extended batteries to satisfy your power needs

I'm in the same boat as you! But I just bought a used Maxx for $285 and I'll sell this one (almost new) hopefully for around $250.

I've heard that they might if you point out you had the extended battery before, and it's not working for you to be using the much smaller razr standard battery. It's worth a try...

I did it! I was calm and respectful and told him about the extended battery I had and how the RAZR was not comparable because of the poor battery. He recommended the DROID charge, HTC rezound, and Thunderbolt. After I said no and respectfully asked if he could make an exception for a 10+ year loyal customer he told me he would see what he could do and he came back and told me they would send me a RAZR Maxx AND a memory card for the inconvenience the RAZR had cost me. I'm a happy camper =)

i have thought about dropping my complete coverage or whatever its called, but I'm worried that I will lose some of the perks of having my account. I still have unlimited data, still have the $20/month data credit, so I pay $10/month for unlimited data. I am not willing to risk having it mess up anything on my account, so I just accept that I am throwing money away at asurion and move on. :p

I have that same credit across 4 phones.
I don't let them touch *ANYTHING*, no modes to the account at all.

I was having issues with bionic so verizon offered me a razr maxx. They started with offering a razr but I told them I had the extended battery and I didn't want to lose my all day charge. They agreed with me and sent me the maxx... Then when I got my refurbished maxx I was getting horrible battery life only 5 hours so I called and they said that it was a problem with ics with that phone so I convinced them to send me a gs3. This phone is sick. Unlocked bootloader, huge screen 2 gigs of ram and snapdragons processor.

The agents ole' lady must've been sweettttt the night before you spoke to him, lol.

None of the three they offered come close to the bionic. I think i would have been screaming if they tried to shove one of them at me.
