been debating if i want to keep the asurion. with the $89 deductible, it seems high. after having it for a yr anyways, you can buy the phone at non full price. probably the $199. so basically for $100 more, you get a brand new one. i dunno..i need to break down the math.
89 is excessive. Last year when I replaced my Omnia, it was 50.
$89 is cheap for this type of device. AT&T charged me $100 for my old (outdated) Tilt and I've heard that for newer Smartphones it's up to $125.
You gotta see that Asurion was making bank back when it was 50 for the deductible. Phones haven't really become more expensive over time. I recall even back when phones were still analog, they cost quite a bit. They aren't suddenly more costly now. If anything, they are less costly due to improved manufacturing technology.
So for them to raise the deductible to 89 is kind of harsh, but as nerdbox mentioned above, better than paying retail. Still irks me, but what can ya do? I'm one of those sorry saps that ends up using insurance because he breaks his phones
