Device Protection Service, yay or nay?

[CurlyNYC]

I'm about to purchase a phone from wirefly and they have what is called a Device Protection Service for 6 dollars a month. Should I get it? It seems better than the protection that Metro offers, but I don't know. It says that there is no deductible but it also says neglectful loss of your phone is not covered Any tips, thanks.

For that amount, I'd get the Metro one. It's $1 less a month and I've heard nothing but good about it. I think it's through Assurion which is the biggest phone insurance company. I just checked the Metro website and I Didn't Know that you only have 24 hrs from when you activate the phone to get the protection though so don't dally about.

My phone protection is a 6 week old LG Motion that I have about $95 into.

Yea I read that it was a scam the thing Wirefly offered. Are you sure it's only a dollar a month? I thought it was like 5 dollars a month for insurance. How do they figure out the deductible on a phone? Like does insurance cover lost phones?

He said $1 less but I'll go look for the deductible chart, hold up.

It's not a scam, it is Device Protection that we offer. You can read all about it here: Device Protection Made Easy | No Deductible | Wirefly Online This does not cover neglient loss nor does it cover water damage. There is no deductible. Let me know if you have any other questions.... I am happy to answer them for you.

hmmm wirelfy got their own account on af cool and welcome anyways pro and cons lets start out with pros no deductible nice while metro charges $130 deductible for the gs3.

cons ya dont cover lost/stolen phones nor do you guys cover water damaged phones.

off the record ive never had a phone stolen nor lost but cant speak the same for the rest of you guys lol in my opinion that $1 more actually is a pretty good deal for me but for some they just cant help txting near the toilet nor leaving their phone unattended anyways good stuff.
