    Have a phone with sprint, phone is broken due to many times being dropped but I have insurance on the phone, does anyone know when I go to call sprint and let them know about it will they allow me to get a different phone at the mark downed price you'd pay at the store as if u were signing up for a 2 year contract or do you make you get the same phone you had before??

    Maybe this is a silly question... but why would you pay for insurance if you don't even know what the insurance will help you get?

    I know that it replaces your phone if it's broken/stolen but I wanna mainly know is do I have to get the same phone or will they let me upgrade to a different phone.

    I would hope that if you are willing to pay the difference that they would let you upgrade, but cell phone companies tend to be silly about stuff sometimes. GL either way!

    The insurance will only pay for the phone you have and you have to pay the deductible. You will not get a discount on a new phone unless you are due for an upgrade.

    This - It is usually around $50 deductible. They will also have you send in the phone unless you lost it. Call Asurion thats what most cell providers use.

    Calling Sprint or a Sprint store won't do anything for you. They will tell you to call the insurance company. You will prob have to pay a $50 deductable and they will mail you the same phone or a similiar phone. Only go to the store if you don't have the insurance number.
