It’s worth it when people walk into a store and a: get mad they have to pay 35 to replace their phone, or b: have no replacement options and no upgrade and are sol.

It used to be that the insurance was cheaper but I think many abused the insurance so the deductibles had to get higher.

Its a shame that phones cost so much if you aren’t getting a new plan.

I think you need to look at the phone you have and your habits. If the phone is expensive and you use it often, the insurance could be worth it.

I’ve always avoided cell phone insurance. I was sorely tempted when I got my iPhone, but in the end I gambled as the insurance was so expensive (at least here in the UK).

The trouble as ever is you swap an unknown potential cost for a known and very real cost. Never nice!

I wouldn’t take a chance with my health or travel insurance, but I’ll gamble on a cell phone.

Sorry to hear about your damaged goods Evan, but I don’t think cell phone insurance is worth it. Unless something unfortunate like this happens to every phone you own, I don’t think the money warrants probability or risk.

Ah, for me it was pagers in HS. 9th grade was prime for pagers to make it big. LOL.

My son didn’t get his until 9th grade, but come Monday it is being removed for bad grades. My daughter, she is 9 now… may get hers in 7-8th. We’ll see. Although, she is vying for one now, there is no reason an elementary student needs to have a cell at school!
