Verizon insurance - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

For those people who have taken the Verizon insurance, do you know what the deductible is on the S4 if you need to replace it?

Shoud be ~$100 like the rest of their smartphones. I haven't checked in a while bit it's in that realm

Is it replacement/swap or send in for fix?

Replacement, they overnight you one and then you return yours via enclosed label.

Last month when I dropped and broke my Note 2, I went onto asurion's website, filed a claim, gave them my info (this was at 11PM), and the next day at noon I had a new Note 2 on my doorstep. I just had to ship back my damaged Note 2 without any accessories, so I got to keep the battery as a spare. I imagine it's the same way for the S4.

They are refurbished unless phone is so new that they don't have any refurbished yet.

I have Squaretrade for my wifes S3. They are cheaper, especially with discount codes, but they are also $99 deductible but they require you to send in the phone for repair, no swap. Turn around on my wifes S3 for cracked screen was about 5-6 days from when we sent it in.

Personally, I just started hanging on to my previous old phone for insurance.

---

last september i left my phone ontop of my dads car and forgot it up there. found it a few blocks away, screen smashed but it still turned on, was able to save all my **** off it.
called them up around 8pm EST, by 10am the next day there was a brand new nexus at my door. cost me $100 but for the service, speed and the replacement it was worth it.

Verizon's insurance is **** in my opinion who wants to pay $99 to replace a broken phone and they will only replace it 2-3 times. So I went and got mine through Best Buy and pay for their replacement plan which is like 10$ a month and there is no deductible if you break and need your phone replaced. So Im sorry for whoever has to pay that lol

for the $72 difference over 2 year cost ill take the verizon insurance. Unlike best buy I get a BRAND new phone, not a refurb. best buy also doesn't cover lost or stolen devices. I also get the phone either next day or 2 day, best buy cant beat that. I do not trust the quality of refurbs that get put into the best buy system. I use to work for best buy in the geek squad and we handled the insurance exchanges, i do not have a good taste in my mouth from them. I'd get refurb backs that had issues right out of the box, had slight wear. I rather pay the $100, even though its few and very far between to get the phone replaced. the first year you are covered by manufactures warranty so why bother.

My Note 2 was a refurb through Asurion, but rest assured it's been working better than my brand new Note 2 ever did. It looks brand new as well.

They are correct, it is $100. Just added the insurance on both of my lines.

I bought the Square Deal insurance through Costco, $99 total for 2 years, and only $25 co-pay for up to four claims. Usually overnight replacement.
