No complaints. Phone was at house the next day and as a bonus was dropped at house so I didn't have to wait at house all day to sign. I own a restaurant and it is very critical to have access to a cell phone and such a relief to know should accident happen that Asurion has my back.

I recommend the Asurion insurance for anyone, but especially those who are heavy phone/social media users and don't feel they can have any downtime. My phone was replaced quickly and the technician walked me through the set up, even though I am not that knowledgeable about setting up a phone or a computer. Great service - great replacement!

Overall on the claims that were honored were great. Their multi device plan is misleading. Even the representatives from Verizon agreed and paid to repair the phone theft refused to cover. The plan adds it was sold would cover ANY 3 devices for a year. After a year that would reset and 3 different devices could make a claim. They refused to cover a device saying that my 3 slots were taken and could not be changed.
Hi Frank, rest assured we are happy to help and we thank you for your patience. The Multi - Device Protection Plan understands the need to swap out different devices. It provides the option to move your coverage by registering and de-registering devices in and out as needed. The system only allows us to register a total of three devices at any given time. In this case, you are able to de-register one of the devices that you are not needing to replace at this time. This in no way removes the coverage that you have on that device. If you are still needing assistance with making a claim or have further questions, feel free to send your name, telephone number, carrier and claim number to consumeraffairs@asurion.com. Thanks again – Tasha

There are so many doubts that surround extended warranty services... Are they worth the money? Isn't this just a way to add on profit and commission? With my son's phone damaged and no longer functioning properly, Asurion was prompt and lived up to each promise. Once the online form was filled out, the phone was on the way and arrived the next day. Outstanding!

Unfortunately, this was not the first time we’ve had to use Asurion. Fortunately, however, their service was ridiculously easy and extraordinarily quick, as always. 24 hours and we had the replacement phone. I would recommend this service for anyone who is accident prone or has kids who are. Absolutely worth the cost.

I was so pleased to find out I would just get a new phone home and wouldn’t lose my information after my phone was stolen.

Shattered my glass front and back my phone was not fixable. Amazing enough the Samsung s8+ still worked and swiped I was shocked. It was ran over multiple times by cars in the road. Got a new one next business day. Had to pay a high deductible but better than no phone at all.

Waited a week for an appointment time; no option to change addresses, no local repair options. Despite notice indicating tech would call 0:30 minutes prior- tech called 0:15 prior and then showed up; while we were 2 minutes up the road. Inefficient for EVERYONE- next time buying products and insurance direct from APPLE- a company that actually understands “Customer Service” rather than just providing service. Reflects poorly on Verizon as they sell and bill for this service.

I purchased a Bulova watch and asked to purchase the extended 2 year warranty, it's been only 1 year and I filed a claim 2 months before the year. They keep telling me they are sending me a return label but still nothing yet. So maybe I have to wait the 2 years so they don't have to fix it. Or maybe I am just the 1 customer of 13 million satisfied customers. I think that if I paid ahead for the service I should receive the same treatment and this is the 2nd time I have issues with Asurion warranty department. NOT SATISFIED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE. I will never purchase their warranties ever again.

Updated on 05/07/2019: Hi, it's me, Kristian, here again with another refurbished Galaxy. Ever since I got this replacement refurbished phone in October of last year (my 3rd or possibly 4th replacement phone from them) I have had issues. Mainly it won't hold a charge and freezes. ALL. THE. TIME. Today I reached my breaking point and called Asurion to get ANOTHER device and guess what??? They don't have any Galaxy S8 Plus' available so the phone rep asked me if I was okay with 'any comparable model' and I'm like???? What does that mean? At first she couldn't even give me any info as to what she meant. Then she told me it would likely be a Galaxy 9 or 10. But that was about 25 mins ago and I'm still on hold with her. I feel bad for the poor girl, she's def trying to make lemonade out of Asurion's crap. Asurion charges an absurd $275 for for a replacement phone that is actually a refurbished phone. TRASH. TRASH. TRASH.
Updated on 11/29/2018: I'm following up on a review I left in the beginning of the month. I left a honest negative review and now my only options after Asurion responded are to mark the issue resolved or send a private message. WTF. Anyway, it's been close to a month and I've had to order three phones now from Asurion because they have sent me three replacement phones that are REFURBISHED PHONES. The phone I'm currently using does not hold a charge, ie - I charged it all night, took it off the charger at 6:30 AM and by the time I got to work at 8:30 (minimal to no usage) it's at 38%. I lost the return box for the last phone I needed to send back to Asurion and I've called them 4 TIMES to send a replacement box and I still have no replacement box.
I honestly think they are trying to scam a way into making my pay the non return fee which is like $800. I called them yesterday and finally a rep sent me a print out of the UPS slip thing so that's resolved. Then as soon as I send that phone back I'll be asking for another because like I said this last phone they sent me does not hold a charge. Overall the experience has been rough. I really just want a phone that works and I don't have to worry about issues. Asurion will likely reply to this review that they are 'so sorry' blah blah blah. STOP SENDING REFURBISHED PHONES.
Original Review: Had my Galaxy 8 plus for about a year, dropped it face first and had to have it replaced. Paid $300 for a replacement from Asurion; replacement phone was delivered to my house while I wasn't home, no problem. But replacement was refurbished, so it stopped having a connection (LTE, 3G, etc) after the first month. Could only make calls on wifi calling. New phone comes and all of a sudden it's against the rules to leave a phone in the mailbox. Went to UPS 4 times to try to pick up phone but couldn't due to the fact that my mom's name was on the box (I'm under her phone account). WHY DID ASURION NOT PUT MY NAME ON THE BOX??? I WAS THE ONE CALLING THEM FOR THE REPLACEMENT.
I finally get phone after about a week of bad service from first replacement and this is the first day I'm using it and it is the slowest phone ever. I timed it, takes two mins to load anything on Facebook or bank related information. IDK what I'm going to do. Seems like Asurion is just swapping phones out. I'm almost confident that if I file a claim for another phone they will just send me someone else's messed up phone. Don't waste your money with Asurion, they are a scam.

I've had a good experience with these guys in the past but they recently showed me their true colors... I filed a claim on a broken phone that was covered by ATT Multipack Protection plan. In haste I went to ATT to purchase a new phone. After purchase I remembered my insurance should cover this incident and returned the phone to ATT the next day. Before returning I verified phone was covered with ATT representative. When I filed claim it was denied as an unwarranted product because they say their 'system' won't let them honor the claim because the enrollment date on the insurance was after the incident date. As I understand it when I purchased the phone ATT made an update to my plan that revised the enrollment date of my insurance policy.
Asurion now tells me my phone that has been covered for at least 30 months (on NEXT plan) was not covered at the time of the incident and they have no record of any prior enrollment in their system. They refused to accept any proof of insurance or help resolve this issue or provide any avenue to entertain rectifying the situation. I've spoken to 4 representatives so far 3 of which who said my phone was covered but couldn't figure out why the claim was going through.
Finally spoke to someone who claimed they couldn't do anything because the "system" said the enrollment date was after the incident but would offer no help in figuring out how to resolve my claim. She said it was my fault for forgetting I had insurance and accused me of fraud because she said I tried to make multiple claims on the same phone for a number of different days when in fact her own agents attempted these claims to try and get the claim accepted by the 'system'. This is probably the most frustrated I've ever been with a company but have no other avenues to get help. Feels so helpless and small when you realize they have no incentive to help or listen to reason.
Hi Daniel, rest assured I hear your concern and do understand how this matter may be frustrating. If the insurance was added to your account after the date the incident happened, we would not be able to file a claim for that device. Please ensure you have provided the correct date of damage for the original device. Typically, obtaining the last date of usage from AT&T directly will ensure its accuracy. I am happy to check on this claim for you. If you could provide the date the device you are wanting to claim was last used, as well as your claim number, telephone number and best contact information to consumeraffairs@asurion.com, I would love to dig a little deeper into this for you. Look forward to speaking with you soon. – Tasha

Updated on 11/02/2018: So, the phone came in a few minutes ago. Upon opening the box, I find the "New" phone, and a "New" charger. Right off the bat, you can't tell neither of these are from Apple. The phone literally has "Refurbished by Asurion" on the back. The charger included is similar to one Apple themselves would tell you not to use on your device. It is not an Apple charger. SO in summary here 26 months at $15/month no claims=$390. As stated before, we have paid in full for the device. $899 at the time of purchase. Go ahead and did the claim. $200 deductible.
So total paid to insurance company. $590 for a refurbished phone. I've usually done my own repairs in the past. Using genuine parts and it costs nowhere near that. Current retail for a new iPhone 7 plus is $599 on Verizon website. and get this, that $599 comes with an apple charger. and of course a new Apple phone. Can't believe I'm actually having to send our device in for exchange of this garbage. Like I said though, will be cancelling and saving me $45 a month from now on. Too bad I wasted all that money with them.
Original Review: OK. So my girlfriend cracked her screen 2 weeks after purchasing her iPhone 7 plus. This is back in June 2016. She had done the payment plan. So it's now been over 2 years, we own the device. We are doing a replacement because the battery on the phone is worn out and is not holding a charge for more than about 2 hours. The lock button is broken and doesn't work. What I'm confused about is this. We paid in full for the phone. We've paid 26 months of $15 a month for her insurance with no claim. I understand the deductible. But, why on earth am I having to return the old device? If I crash my truck, the insurance company pays me for my vehicle. Whatever it's worth if totaled. But a phone, they make you pay monthly, pay for new device, and then make you send the old device in. So, what if it gets lost in shipping? YOU OWE THEM. WOW. After I get this phone replacement, I'm cancelling this service on all 3 of my devices.
Hi Devon, we understand your frustrations and truly appreciate your patience. It’s our mission to get you reconnected as quickly as possible and for less than the retail cost of a replacement phone. We are also similar to other types of insurance as there is a deductible in addition to monthly premiums. This keeps you from having to pay for the retail cost of that device. It will indeed need to be returned to us as this is part of the insurance agreement. If you have any other questions or concerns about the insurance or about your replacement device, please send your name, telephone number, carrier, claim number and your best contact information to consumeraffairs@asurion.com , I am happy to take a look into this for you. – Tasha

I called to have a home screen repair. The guy came and did it in like 15 minutes. I've had the glass repaired 3X in the past and watched them and others took 45-60 minutes.

I totally think he was lying and wanted to pull away from me as fast as possible. The company is only offering me a new phone, which they're not "new", they refurbed and I don't want one.

I purchased (4) Phillips Smart TVs on Black Friday, on October 23rd, one of my TVs went white and you could hear the sound only. No picture. I called in and started my claim, approximately 3-4 days later a gentleman came and picked up the tv and remote. I was advised afterward that the tv could not be fixed. I was emailed to pick 1 of 2 TVs as a replacement. One tv was something I had never heard of the other was an RCA, I choose RCA since I had heard of it. My email said immediately that I would get results in 3-5 business days. The very next day I came home and the RCA was dropped off in my driveway. I called into Asurion on 3 different occasions and was advised that I purchased a warranty on a $298.00 unit even though that was the sale price. It is because of that I do not qualify for a Smart tv and to be happy with the RCA tv that I received.
I explained I wanted a Smart tv since that is what I had and was told I got what I got and there would be no exchange. I went to Walmart and they said there is nothing they could do to help me. I am very upset that I received less than what I purchased, I have purchased the warranty on numerous products that I have bought. I feel that I should of received back a smart tv instead of this RCA. After speaking with numerous supervisors with Asurion they did not seem concerned. They told me to be happy with what I have. My experience with Asurion is very upsetting and I feel that I should have received a comparison to what I purchased and I did not. If you're asking what I want, I want a Smart tv because that is what I bought and what I purchased the warranty on.

The guy that came to fix my phone was very professional but also relaxed and nice to talk with. He was quick and helpful, but happened to break the home screen button. Fortunately that meant I got to get a new phone for free with help from him. It was however delayed in delivery and I had to call and it was quite a hassle to get it delivered again. Plus side is it all only cost $30 and the phone is good as new!

Your response was timely and kind on the phone. The only glitch was that the new phone was delivered to my neighbor’s house, from which I immediately retrieved it, while the delivery driver (FedEx?) sat in his truck, insisting he had delivered it to the right address. If I hadn’t been watching out for the delivery, I would have missed it.

This company is a joke. I have now been dealing with them for 6 months (6 MONTHS!) with trying to resolve an insurance issue. Long story short, I was sent four (YES, FOUR) replacement iPhones, all which were deemed defective (this has caused countless hours and stress with work, being that I have been traveling and use my phone for go-to meetings and such). Each phone takes approx 2-3 hours to fully restore from iCloud...I have done this 4 (technically 5 times now). Contacting someone who can help (and that does not pass me to another dept. that has nothing to do with me issue at hand) is like pulling teeth. I finally reached the CEO's assistant office (Maria **) to deal with this case - she is equally worthless and has not returned my emails and calls. After having received 4 dud phones, I was given the option to receive another phone or purchase my own and be reimbursed.
Obviously, I opted for the purchasing of my own phone through Apple, so I can be done with this once and for all. Upon purchase, I immediately faxed copies of the receipts and a month goes by with no check - I was promised multiple times the check was being mailed...or the check was being electronically deposited. All of this was false. Apparently, the receipts I sent were "not acceptable to the proof of purchase they need" - the example receipts they sent me were all receipts you would have to obtain for *in-store* purchase. I told them numerous times we did not have an Apple store in my town and the nearest one was 500 miles away.
After several contacts with Apple, they said those were the only receipts they offer and those should be sufficient for any insurance claim. I then took it upon myself to screenshot my bank account (that showed exact amount to match the receipt), screenshotted my phone info (IMEI, serial #, etc) that also matched the Apple receipt provided and 3 different copies of the receipt (via my online account, one directly from an Apple rep and one in an email directly from Apple). FINALLY, I receive a check...BUT THE CHECK IS SHORT $152!!! Are you kidding me! This company sucks and has wasted countless hours during work and it's still not resolved. I have called, left messages and emailed this Maria ** person and she still has not returned my call. Disgusting!
I hope this company goes out of business. I will NEVER use this company again and neither will my family (I have removed our Asurion plan from 5 of our devices already) nor will my company and friends. Pretty much anyone I can speak to will know how awful this company is. Beware... Also - their BBB reviews are fake. I have a friends that have either worked for Asurion and/or in the tech business and know for a fact they have employees log on and leave fake reviews so that their ratings go up. That, in itself, should tell you enough.
Hi Bethany, thank you for reaching out to us. I do understand your concerns and how this may be frustrating. We do appreciate your patience. We strive to get you back in business as fast as possible which means we do use both new and certified-like-new devices in order to provide this service. Rest assured, all replacements come with a 1 year limited warranty in the case of a malfunction or defect. Typically, we will refund you the amount of the device, minus the deductible. Keep in mind if any accessories were purchased on this transaction, that amount would not be reimbursed. There is certain information needed while verifying your proof of purchase. Typically taking a screenshot of your Apple account or iTunes will assist in verifying the purchase. If you have any other questions or concerns about your device, feel free to contact us here at consumeraffairs@asurion.com . Thanks for being the best part of Asurion. – Tasha

When the condenser on my refrigerator started to make high-pitched noises, I went to the Home Depot site, where I'd purchased a 5-year-warranty to file a claim. I was redirected to Asurion's site. For the first 12 hours, I was unable to even file a claim. The site simply didn't work. When I was finally able to file a claim, the site wouldn't let me upload the necessary receipts. Four phone calls and many hoops jumped through later, they assured me that they had satisfactory copies of both receipts and that they would proceed with my claim.
Four days later, when no technician had come out to look at the refrigerator, I checked the site. The claim was still "in progress." I phoned and was assured that there was nothing wrong. Four days after that, no technician had arrived, and another phone call resulted in the same assurance that the claim was proceeding. It's been 14 days since the claim was filed, no technician has come out, and the claim is still listed as pending. The phone call made yesterday resulted in the same empty assurance. I gave up and called a technician, who told me that it needed to be cleaned, a few things tightened, and a part replaced, which I agreed to. The service call was $145, including the part and labor. The refrigerator now works correctly.
I have already canceled my phone insurance with Asurion and gone to SquareTrade (which is much less expensive). I've applied for a refund of the money paid for my warranty, since Asurion didn't honor it. I will never use Asurion again, and I will never buy another appliance, phone, etc. that I want a warranty for that can only be gotten through Asurion. Use them at your own risk.

My son purchased the insurance from Verizon through Asurion. The glass on his phone cracked and he called to get it fixed. He is leaving for FL in 3 days and was told he would have to send it in and he should have it back within 3 days. We cannot take that chance since he is traveling by car from Chicago to FL. This is crazy that he would have to wait 3 days and be without a phone. If he would have purchased Apple care the phone would be fixed within an hour. When I called customer service they said that sometimes a tech can come to you and said based on our zip code that wasn't an option. She asked if we lived in a rural area, really???
We live 12 miles from one of the biggest cities in the US (Chicago). This is nuts. She said we could get a refurbished phone and would cost 199 which is nuts again since this phone is only 6 months old and to fix the glass would only be $29.99. I have learned my lesson and not purchase this insurance again. They should offer a temporary phone while the one you have is being fixed.
Hi Dawn, rest assured we are happy to help. We can understand how being without a device, especially while traveling may be frustrating. Being eligible for the repair program does depend on your location, the availability of parts as well as the availability of technicians and time slots. Sometimes being in a well-populated area can decrease the availability of parts, technicians and time slots. Rest assured, the repair program is an added inclusion to the insurance, if ever not available, you will always have the option to have the device replaced and sent to you at a fraction of purchasing a replacement at retail cost.

A few weeks ago, my wife’s phone was lost and replaced by Asurion with a refurbished phone that doesn’t hold a charge, after she paid the $149 deductible. Then on Oct. 26, I dropped my iPhone 7 and the camera and flashlight stopped working. So I hoped I could get a replacement too. I tried calling Asurion that night, but was transferred to someone else and the connection was lost. I then found an old iPhone and put the SIM card in that to see if that would work well enough. My old iPhone couldn’t hold a charge for more than a few hours. I noticed that when I checked my account information on the Verizon website, that it did recognize that I was using the old phone. I tried again to work through Asurion today (10/28), and was asked to submit an affidavit and copy of photo identification. Shortly after that, I was told that Verizon determined that I wasn’t using the iPhone 7 at the time of the incident so I wasn’t eligible without appealing.

Someone stepped on my daughter's phone and destroyed it. Rather than make a claim on my insurance, we switched her to on older phone (primarily to teach her a lesson). Unfortunately that phone died after a few months and I filed a claim on the original phone. My first request was rejected because I did not know the exact date of the damage and they stated the date I used was different than the one their records showed as to when she stopped using the phone. I went to my phone provided to identify the exact date (even though Asurion clearly already had it) and resubmitted.
This time they rejected it as it had been more than 90 days after it was damaged. They were unable to explain the rationale behind the 90 days, nor to refund my payments that had continued since that date. In effect, I have been making insurance payments on that phone for 18 months, only for them to find a loophole that allowed them to reject the claim. I will never purchase phone insurance, or any other product, through this company again in the future.
Hi Charlene, rest assured we do hear your concerns. Our policy does require billable usage on the line at the time of peril. This helps us verify the correct device was used at the time the device was lost, stolen or damaged. Unfortunately, with most insurance, there is a time frame in which the claim can be made. In order to make a claim, the device would have to be active within the last 30 to 90 days, depending on your carrier.

From start to finish the experience was horrendous. I have the multi device protection pack on our account with the understanding that this covers your home devices such as laptop and iPad. I've paid $35 a month for over 3 years before I put in a claim for my iPad screen replacement. I called September 30th to put in a claim and ask how the repair works, was on the phone with them for an hour (they make you go through the entire claim before they will tell you how much you owe that includes uploading your ID and affidavit to the system) and we got to the end of the claim, he told me it would be $225 but if I waited 13 days my deductible lowers because we haven't submitted any claims. He said the claim is in the system and is good for 30 days. I thought great, it goes down to $165 if I wait, I'll wait.
I called back on Oct. 16th to put my claim through and find out that information was not correct. To receive the lower deductible, the claim has to be put in AFTER the deductible lowers. The lady on the phone says not to worry, she will put the claim in again. It got denied immediately because she put the claim as a cellular device. She admitted she entered it wrong, and puts the claim in correctly. I was told I would receive a phone call in 24 hours. I waited 2 days with no phone call, then called back on Oct. 18th. This time they said my claim was denied AGAIN (mind you, I'm just trying to fix a cracked screen on my iPad) and that it was put in as a cellular device AGAIN.
She goes over everything I had already submitted twice with them and tells me she sent an email that has a link to submit my ID and affidavit again. I waited 2 hours and never received the email, so I call back that same day. AGAIN no one knows what I'm talking about. They say the claim was denied. They don't even see notes that this girl was sending me an email with a link. At this point I wanted it escalated. Each phone call has been 1 hour + and I'm really getting tired of the process and being lied to.
I get Jolie on the phone, she states she is in the same office as the managers and she is working with them to get the situation resolved. Assures me it is in fact not denied and apologizes for everything. I go through the entire process AGAIN! At the end of the phone call I was prompted to give my address, agree to the $165 deductible, and tells me I will receive the new device in 1-2 business days. It's now the 24th and no such device was ever sent to me. The entire phone call was a lie. I called back yesterday, the 23rd to find out why no email and no tracking info were given to me, only to find out they DENIED my claim again. Mind you, I've been told 3 times now a device is being sent, and it doesn't and they don't even call or email you to let you know.
At this point I'm furious. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours yesterday getting transferred from department to department. This place is so unorganized and their employees have no idea what they are doing. I finally get transferred to "the office of the CEO" which is not the CEO, but just a more elevated person that gives you their email to reach them. Roxanna explains to me that every other person for the past month I was talking to had no idea what they were talking about. They don't send devices out to you for screen repair. They send you a box in 1-2 business days and you have to send your iPad into them. They have 10 DAYS to repair your device. So this whole process will take another 2 weeks (if they are telling the truth this time.)
If anyone reading this is wondering if you should get the $7.99 insurance just on your phone, or the multi device pack, never take the pack. This is the first non-cell claim in 3 years and it was a painful process. I'm sure there are more reliable renters insurance that have a more organized and streamline system. I would never do this again. Not just that, I don't trust them at all.
Hi Stacey, our mission is to get you reconnected again. I do understand your concerns with the claims process and how this may have been frustrating. It appears the claim may have been put in as a replacement instead of a repair, if this is the case, the process will be different. If you are proceeding with a replacement, the deductible will decrease every 6 months, up to a year, without a claim. However, if you are placing a claim for a repair, it is just one flat fee.

So I submitted the first claim 9/29/18. My mistake I forgot to factory reset my phone. I looked online and it told me my phone was received 10/08/18. On 10/14/18 I got one email saying my phone was received and then 15 minutes later another email stating that it was unable to be repaired and I needed to contact them. So I did this and the CSR that answered told me "out of courtesy" they have kept my phone for 3 days waiting on a reply from me but now they are sending it back. Funny that I just got an email that morning that said it was just received but even before that on the FedEx tracking said it was received almost a week before.
Okay so I get my phone back. Call 6 different times to get my phone claim cancelled, refunded, and restarted. Was told twice that the "system was down and would be back up in two hours" over 24 hours apart. Okay so my claim is finally cancelled. I restart claim. Get the new envelope (let's emphasize they send your phone back in a box with a Saran wrap like plastic around your phone so it is secure but to send to them I get basically a paper envelope with may a little bubble wrap).
Well today 10/24/18 I get an email they can't fix my phone again. Okay so I call and I am told by the CSR the notes say the back of the phone is cracked so they are unable to do the repair but if I wanted to pay an additional $170 for a replacement I can. Well I am still waiting on my refund from the FIRST claim. She states "well we have not seen the phone before so we can't say it was cracked in transit or not." Oh well those words should not have been used because you have IN FACT had my phone at the warehouse before just weeks ago and no one in the original claim notes does it state ANYTHING about the back being cracked. I can tell you that if I got that phone back the first time with a cracked back I would have been pissed then and not waited till now as I am the only one hurting in the situation.
So I am told I can wait to receive my phone back, see that the back is broken, call back to a "higher department". They can open an investigation and at that point if it is proven it was damaged in transit then I can have them replace my phone at no cost to me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND if I want that I have to send them the broken device again? The device they COULD NOT REPAIR because the back was cracked they want it? I will not give up this fight. I will post this to every site that takes a review for this joke of a company.
Hi Laurie, Rest assured, we’re here to help! I do understand your concerns about your device as well as the shipping status. Unfortunately, if the device has more damage other than the front screen being cracked, we are unable to repair it. We strive to repair to the root of the issue and unfortunately there could be more unforeseen damage with the back being cracked. Since the repair option is secondary to your primary insurance, you will always have the option to have the device replaced with the deductible instead of full retail cost. I am happy to check on the progress of your claim as well as other options. If you can provide your name, telephone number, claim number, carrier and your best contact information to consumeraffairs@asurion.com, I am happy to help the best I can.

We were told by AT&T that this insurance would cover a screen repair. When replacing a cracked screen protector for the phone it was dropped and the screen cracked. The phone still works. Filed a claim for a screen repair on the phone that is 10 months old, they said they do not offer that in our area. So I gave them the zip code where our college age son has the phone. They said not in that area. I also gave them 2 other states in which our daughter is in college and one that is 30 minutes from us. No screen repair. They just offered to send a refurbished phone and would not tell me any place that offers a screen repair. This really seems like they just want the nice new phones so they can just replace with refurbished instead of replacing or repairing a cracked screen. Terrible customer service.

I purchased a GE refrigerator from Home Depot 3 yrs. ago and purchased the Protection Plan for 5 yrs. The refrigerator stopped defrosting making the temperature of the fridge rise. On October 12, 2018, I called Home Depot Protection Plan to report/make a claim. They contracted out to Active Appliances in Van Nuys, CA. First of all, Active Appliances did not come out on their scheduled time of 8 a.m. to 12 noon. I had to call Home Depot/Asurion to complain. They arrived an hour later to say they would need to order some parts. That was October 13, 2018, and today is October 22, 2018, and still nothing. My food spoiled (cost $48) and eating out 3 times a day has cost me ($200) more than if I would have called for a company to come out to fix it within a few days.
Asurion keeps insisting they cannot do anything, since Active Appliances is the contracted company doing the job. Active Appliances has a 1 star out of 5 on Yelp with 841 customers complaining about them. Why does Asurion contract out with a company that doesn’t get average reviews? I will be going on 11 days of having no refrigerator. I have called to complain to a manager from the Asurion plan and hope they can expedite this work order. I Do Not Recommend the Home Depot Protection Plan for a refrigerator. You would be better off paying someone else and getting the job done with a few days, not weeks!

Updated on 10/30/2018: I wrote a review on here about a week or so ago because I am so dissatisfied with this company. I have been waiting over 2 months for a replacement phone and still have not received it after calling Asurion over 15 times, being charged, and speaking with multiple individuals. Now, I believed before it was mainly a system issue although I was annoyed that each time I called I had to explain my situation again. I was pleased after posting this review that I was contacted by a direct representative. She told me to find out the exact date I used my dead phone and to have AT&T change my phone information in their system. I had trouble determining that date and called her twice to see how I could figure it out.
I then called AT&T twice. One time the representative even stayed on the line with me when I called. AT&T eventually helped me to find the information and fix the other internal issue. When I called the Asurion representative the next day to finally put out another claim to receive my phone, my number went straight to voicemail. I called later in the day, assuming I was calling outside work hours. I even called at the end of the week, in case she was out of the office. No ring, straight to voicemail each time, so I am assuming she blocked me. I can begin to explain how puzzled I am at how this company operates with its customers. I wish I could give this company 0 stars. So disappointing.
Original review: To say I am utterly frustrated would be an understatement. I called Asurion in early August about my phone malfunctioning. I spoke with a pleasant lady that seemed to be having difficulty with the system and trouble spelling my name. I told her countless times my email so she could send me the claim information, just to verify that everything was correct. A week later, I received no email and a phone for 16g instead of 64g, which is what my current iPhone. I called again. They told me to send it back and they would send me the correct phone. They also told me that I should call AT&T and make sure that my information is correct in their system. I called and AT&T essentially said that everything is correct and Asurion basically lied to me. I waited another few weeks and never received the correct phone. I also was billed on my account even though I returned the phone the day after I received it.
In the end of the day, I should not have been billed for their error. After another week passed I called again. I spoke with a manager and he said I would need to wait till the refund was processed (1-2 billing cycles) then file a new claim, so I am not charged extra fees. All for something that was never my fault to begin with. It is now October, I have not received a phone. I called another time yesterday, and the representative confirmed that a refund process was never started and he began one last night. Now I should wait another 1-2 billing cycles. All in all, this has been the absolute worst customer experience I have ever had. If I ever receive my phone, I will make sure I am insured with Apple, as I believe this never would have been acceptable with their company. I am upset, phoneless, and do not feel valued as a customer with Asurion. I am on a family plan and my entire family is appalled by this situation.

I purchased 2 new iPhone 6s roughly a year ago for $200 a piece. And when I purchased them I was asked if I want to add insurance on them. I initially said no but was told that if I add it, and at any point need a new phone I’d pay a $100 deductible and I’d get a new phone. I cracked the screen on my phone and attempted to file a claim. During this process I was hung up on 3 times by 3 separate CSR’s. The 4th person I spoke with then informed me that there would be a $250 deductible for a pre owned phone. Tell me why, with insurance, I would pay more than I did buying the phone brand new? I immediately dropped the insurance and will just go to a phone repair shop and pay $60 to get the screen fixed. I’m just glad the phone didn’t completely break.

So, if you do not have access to a computer, printer, scanner, or fax machine forget about making a claim because you need to print, scan or fax an affidavit. "NOT EVERYBODY" has access to all of these. Also, I do not think it is fair to pay for a phone insurance for years and not be able to get a replacement as soon as you need it. I was suggested to ask a neighbor, coworker, or find a place to print out the affidavit to mail it/email it/fax over since I do not have access to a printer/scanner/fax machine at the moment. I understand it is for "security" purpose, but there should be a better way to do this. I am very upset/aggravated! So, no phone until I can access to a computer/printer/scanner/fax machine. I can't believe it.

I started the process of trying to submit an affidavit on Oct 11. As of today, Oct 25th Asurion says they have still not received it. When I try to submit online it tells me the "Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately we can't support this online. I have even had Asurion representatives try and it didn't work. I have faxed the documents multiple times and emailed them directly to two separate representatives as well as to the general adjuster email address 25+ times. There doesn't seem to be an answer and I am no closer to a solution after 13 frustrating days. While your representatives are very nice and "Understand how frustrating this can be" that is not solving whatever the problem is here.
Original Review: I have never written a review. However I am beyond frustrated. It has now been 7 days since I started the process of getting a replacement phone. I lost my phone (first time I have ever lost a phone) and after an extensive search it couldn't be found. This is my work phone and I rely heavily on it to communicate with clients/customers since I am on the road a lot. I went to the local AT&T store and was told I have multi device coverage and I needed to file a claim. I started by calling Asurion but could not get through because they did not recognize my passcode.
I was directed back to AT&T only to be told my passcode was correct and that Asurion was having problems with passcodes and I should try to file the claim online. When I tried to file online I got the same result (did not recognize my passcode). This went on for some time until an AT&T representative was finally able to get a manager to do a work around and get an Asurion representative on the phone. I was told to submit the affidavit and I should receive my new phone within 24 business hours. After 2 hours working with a representative at the AT&T store I was finally able to get the affidavit submitted on Saturday. It is now Thursday and not only do I still not have a phone, I keep getting different answers about when I might get it.
Hi Rhonda, rest assured we are here and happy to help the best way we can. Typically, the passcode for Asurion and the ATT website are different. The Asurion passcode is a 6-8, all numeric code. Once it has been reset, it can up to 60 minutes for it to update in our system. We know paperwork is not always the most enjoyable thing to do, but our affidavit process is put into place for your protection. Once the affidavit is submitted, it can take 24-48 hours in order to process the form. Once the form is approved, you will be able to sign back in to phoneclaim.com and complete the next part of your claim in order to have the device shipped and be delivered within 1-2 business days. Unfortunately, the device is not shipped automatically after the form is submitted or approved. I am happy to check on the progress of your claim for you. If you can provide your name, telephone number, claim number, and your best contact information to consumeraffairs@asurion.com. – Tasha

I've been paying for insurance for my device for years. I needed to get my Apple watch replaced and they claim I did not have insurance. I have bills dating back that clearly state that I've been billed for insurance by ATT. I spoke to multiple ATT representatives and they all say that I have been paying insurance for years. This company stands by not honoring it. They won't even look at the evidence that I've been paying. This is crazy!!! I've been paying hundreds of dollars for years only to be left without a replacement. Customer service was rude because they don't have to be nice.

When you return your device make sure you hang on to the tracking number the USPS gives you, the one that comes with Asurion's packing slip is not an actual tracking number, but rather an "internal" tracking number their warehouse uses to check in returned devices and only then will it show up on www.tracking.smartlabel.com. It is NOT the "shipping" tracking number, which is what is recorded right away by USPS, FedEx, UPS, and any other reputable shipping company, and which is what we all want and have a right to as proof that the package is in route and that we indeed shipped it back.
The "shipping" tracking number is on the label as well, and everyone should be aware for future reference to note that number down so that you can indeed "track" the package as it should be. This "internal" tracking number Asurion provides is useless until the warehouse receives the item and finally checks it in, which could be whenever they so choose. I have been e-mailing them as to this issue and they simply responded they did not have my device and when I replied again over a week ago, I received no acknowledgment or response to my second e-mail. I am now out $549 for allegedly not returning my device despite my USPS tracking number showing it has been delivered. Do not waste your hard earned money with Asurion, they will rip you off and their customer service is second-rate!

Terrible experience!!! Wasted money and about 2 hours of my life. Bought a new iPhone. The Verizon sales representative told me that the Asurion insurance would cover all my devices (NOT TRUE). The store is located on River Rd in St. George, UT 84790. Later I learned no it was only for my phone. So, I bought a new phone and two days later I dropped it while trying to open my door at home. So I went online to Asurion to start a claim. They have you file a claim which part is sending in a copy of your photo ID. I just had my debit card stolen and total of $1,000 cash taken out of my account from online fraud. Anyway, they also ask for a affidavit with your information and a short description of the accident.
So I did that and after about a week I was told it was denied because I didn't have insurance. So I called Asurion and the representative told me I had no insurance at all (which all of the phone calls are recorded). The representative told me to call Verizon which I did. The representative for Verizon verified I had insurance and I ask her to stay on the line while we talked with Asurion. So I was connected to another Asurion representative and the Verizon representative was disconnected. The Verizon rep. did call twice and leave a message while I was on the phone with Asurion. The Verizon representative was very helpful and kind. I believe her name was Miracle. First time I have ever met someone with that name. So back to Asurion they told me that I did have insurance once talking with Verizon and to start the claim all over again.
So I did. After a couple of days and being told to go back and forth to their website I finally got an approval email and had to go back to the website again to fill out shipping address for my cracked screen of my iPhone XS. Which it showed on their website $29.95 in big letters would be my deductible. Then it asked which color of phone I wanted shipped. They didn't have my black color so I picked silver. The website said to either message or Asurion would call me and they did but then they said they didn't have the silver and that it would be $199 for a deductible. Ask for a manager they just basically said that $29.95 was never on my screen or an option.
I finally hung up after trying to tell them my experience with their insurance and getting nothing but a manager just wanted to argue that this was not my experience and that there was no way that I saw $29.95 on my screen and also that a cracked screen repair was not a option at all on my phone. Totally the opposite of what my Verizon sales representative at the store said. My experience was the worse I have had with a company of this type!!!

I filed a claim after losing my brand new phone. First claim placed on a 24 hour hold and was denied because I didn't report it to Sprint, although the phone claim website says it would disconnect service once claim was submitted. I was fine. Submitted another claim after reporting phone lost to Sprint. Claim was placed on another 24 hour hold. Again the claim was denied for the same reason. I had to submit documents twice and without a phone that's just hard... Third claim and I assume third time is the charm. Told them I wouldn't be sending documents again because I've submitted them twice. And they were approved twice and they approved the claim. Sound great right?!?
Well once we get to the shipping information I informed them I needed to send my phone elsewhere. Immediately my claim was placed on another 24 hour hold. Except this time it is a 24 hour business hour hold. But it's been two days since the last hold and it's still not released and each rep has a different time and date that hold went into effect. I have been out of a phone for a week and nowhere near even getting replacement. This company is a joke and to think I work in a place where I constantly sell their product and also a advocate for others to offer and sell their product for their product. They my job... After this experience I could care less about insisting that customers take advantage of this "great" program. Next day replacement my behind!!!

I’m wondering if those writing rave reviews have the same insurance company I do. After three years of paying for insurance I made a claim for a cracked screen on a phone that was otherwise perfect. I was told that a replacement phone would be sent and I would be charged $112.00. In addition, I was told that once I received the phone I would have to send them my phone. In retrospect, I should have said “no thanks” and paid the less than $100.00 to have my screen replaced locally and cancelled the insurance. Unfortunately, I didn’t.
The trouble started immediately. It took two trips to AT&T and six hours to get the data transferred from one phone to the other. My gut told me that something wasn’t right with this new-to-me, but refurbished phone. It was the same model, but just didn’t work like my phone. Fast forward three weeks and the battery wasn’t holding a charge. I returned to my AT&T store and consulted with a representative. I knew it was not good news when he uttered, “Uh, Oh”. I was then told that the replacement phone’s battery was seriously degraded and given Asurion’s phone number. I went home and phoned Asurion.
Two hours and three disconnects later I returned to AT&T. I asked the representative I had worked with earlier to call Asurion on my behalf. 2 1/2 hours and two disconnects later Asurion agreed to send me a refurbished upgrade. Of course, this means I will again need to transfer all my data. Bottom line I have I have paid three years of insurance, $112.00, plus untold time and aggravation to get a screen replacement. If I could rate no stars I would. On the bright side, Juan, my AT&T representative was a gem. He stuck with me even though it meant he gave up sales he could have been making.
Updated on 10/18/2018: My second replacement phone is defective. Received it at 3:45 pm Pacific Time. Went directly to AT&T for assistance in transferring data.

Asurion was fantastic! I lost my phone at a New Jersey beach in the ocean no less. I was talking pictures of my 3 year old granddaughter when a big wave made her fall in. Without hesitation I reached for her preventing her being swept in the ocean. A few minutes later I realized that I didn’t have my phone in my hands anymore!! After filling out an affidavit and a few forms I received a replacement device within a few short days! Having Asurion for my phone insurance was well worth it!!

I was, for the most part, happy with the overall experience. The agents I spoke with were very nice but not knowledgeable about the process. After all is said and done I will continue to insure my device through your company. Thank you all for taking the time to help me with my claim.

The claim filing process was easy and fast. We had a new phone the next day. The pre-labeled return envelope makes returning the damaged phone a snap. While Asurion provides a new SIM card and instructions to activate it, we still could use our existing one so we didn't test the activation process.

The website should have a choice in the beginning if the phone is under warranty or not before a claim is filled out. It was a hassle to figure out. It was an iPhone so I had to go online to take off "find my phone" which Apple should make it easier to complete if the phone is not working.
Hi Vicky, rest assured we are happy to assist. For most claims we ask a few questions to help determine if the claim should be filed under warranty or if it needs to be filed under insurance. Determining this information by asking questions helps us streamline the process and reduce misclassifications of the claim. We do appreciate your patience and your feedback. If you are unable to access Find my iPhone through the device and need assistance with disabling it, please contact us at consumeraffairs@asurion.com with your name, telephone number, claim number, carrier and contact information.

The best insurance carrier I have ever had. Next day replacement no matter where I am in the US (and I have had several over the last 8 years). Even in Canada the phone arrived surprisingly fast. If you follow precisely the instructions they provide, you won’t have any problems. Highly recommend.

I have a damaged iPhone 7 and went through the claims process to get a replacement. All went well other than a ridiculous $169.00 deductible. Keep in mind, already paying $35 (approx) a month for coverage. They ship me a replacement of which by the way, is also bad. I call it in to get a replacement and the morons start giving me a runaround, wanting credit card number for deductible, wanting me to shut find my iPhone off - keep in mind, we are still limping this phone along till we get a replacement. This is the most worthless company I have ever dealt with for taking care of a customer. Why do these companies feel the need to abuse paying customers.
Hi Don, thank you for reaching out as I do understand this process may be frustrating. We strive to get you back in business as fast as possible which means we do use both new and certified-like-new devices in order to provide this service. The device sent is based on what is available at the time you file your claim. Rest assured, all replacements come with a 1 year limited warranty, in the case your device does experience a malfunction or has a defect. We do ask the Find my iPhone feature to be turned off so you are able to connect your replacement device to your existing iCloud account. We are happy to help you with this if you need assistance. If you are still needing assistance with your exchange, please contact us at consumeraffairs@asurion.com with your name, telephone number, claim number, carrier and best contact information. – Tasha

Was told that my new iPhone X was not insured when it was stolen out of my car that had been broken into. But it was insured. Then next time I call them they say in fact that phone was insured but I needed to upload several documents to them. So I ended up having to upload documents at least 4 different times. Now I am told that my insurance doesn't cover the actual device, but instead that it insures the phone line. Wth? I have never in my life heard of a phone number being insured. So here I am 2 & a half months later and still no phone. But yet they still charge me for the stolen iPhone X on every bill I get even though they have not provided me with a replacement phone. I am very disgusted with them.
Hi Christina, I do understand your concern and we thank you for your patience. Due to the continued advancement of devices by manufacturers and the increased costs associated with this, Asurion has adjusted some of the coverage that we offer. We do appreciate your feedback and hope that we can keep you as a valued customer. If you have any further questions or need assistance with a claim please email us at consumeraffairs@asurion.com with your name, telephone number, and contact information. Thanks again – Tasha.

My phone died and I took it to the Verizon store. Because it had a small crack at the bottom of the screen, I was told I had to file a claim. I was disappointed with this news as it meant I had to pay a deductible. However, Asurion's services were excellent. A replacement phone came right away and the instructions provided for the replacement process were thorough and clear.

Si chatted with somebody for about 25 mins. The person I was chatting with was unable to satisfy my request to cancel the next replacement order (I decided that I would just go directly to Apple).
I asked for an escalation to a manager. Finally she said she would get a chat escalation resource. When the chat was supposed to be transferred it was disconnected. So as of now I have paid 75.00 for a broken phone. This is by far the worse experience ever. The extended warranty fees I have been paying for years now was a complete waste of money. This process was very frustrating.

Let me begin with the fact that I have been trying to complete a claim for over 48 hours now. It's almost impossible to get someone on the phone, and when they do they are beyond short. I expected to have thorough and complete service, instead I am stuck jumping through hoops as a consumer to receive a product I have been paying for. This company is no favor to me, I chose to purchase this insurance. Please believe I will be switching to Best Buy insurance immediately. It may cost more, but at least I know I will get the results I want. I have submitted multiple documents, not good enough. They need more... re-submit documents and have been waiting over 3 hours for a response... no luck. Try to call in, get another pissed off woman at customer service that apparently is having a BAD day because her attitude was distasteful.
All I'm trying to do is complete an insurance claim for a service I ALREADY pay for and yet, this company still can't handle that appropriately. Ultimately disappointing. This company is jeopardizing my safety by sending my on a road trip with a malfunctioning phone because THEIR "PROCESS" IS LACKLUSTER. I would have had my new phone by now with any other company... but not Asurion. Thanks.

When we purchased our kids' laptops at the Base Exchange, they sold us the "exchange protection plan" listing on the front coverage for "drops, spills, cracked screens" and "normal wear and tear failures" and "defects in materials and workmanship." The page listing the plan describes it as "laptop computer 2-year service." I paid $80 for this plan.
After several days, my son's computer started to slow, and by two months, was barely functioning. We tried to make a claim. Asurion said "oh, your computer is covered by the mfg's warranty for the first year. Our warranty doesn't start until after that." I pointed out they sold me a two-year warranty. The lady said "Clearly, ma'am, we sell extended warranties." I then read her all of the wording on my brochure, where the word "extended" was nowhere present. She hung up on me. I then called Dell, whose "warranty" was the one in place (despite paying Asurion $80).
They informed me they are covering the laptop for 18 months! (meaning I paid Asurion for 6 months of coverage, not 2 years) and that all I have is a limited hardware warranty. So, in essence, Asurion completely misrepresented all aspects of their contract -- time of coverage, type of coverage, details of coverage. But they were glad to take the money, and give nothing in return. I would stay as far away from them as possible. This is my second horrible experience with them.
Hi Misty, I hear your concerns and I am happy to help you. While the protection plan does run concurrent with the manufacturer’s warranty, we do offer additional coverage starting from the date of purchase that the manufacturer’s warranty does not. Plus, the program offers you an extended year of coverage after the manufacturer's warranty expires. It appears your device was malfunctioning, if this was the case, the warranty with the manufacture would be the best route. If there had been physical or water damaged, or if it had been after the first year and there was a malfunction, then Asurion would be better able to assist. We truly value you as a customer and appreciate the feedback. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Thanks - Tasha

I had a small crack on the lower left side of my screen. I mean smaller than the tip of your pinky where I drop it from about 2 feet high and hit the tip of a book case. Sent phone in on Tuesday. Now being told I need a replacement as the back is cracked??? It was not cracked when it left my house. The phone worked perfect and had no issues and it was just ugly on that 1 tiny crack so I figured hey I will pay the $29 and get a new screen as cracks grow.
I am so unhappy. Either FedEx damaged the back or the tech did trying to fix my screen. The phone worked perfect when it left. It better work when I get it back and maybe I will just live with a cracked screen as of course the Note 9 are on back order. So unhappy and frustrated. I am going to file a claim with FedEx and let's see where that goes. If there is more damage than when I sent it in I will look at other options to be made whole again. I have pictures on the device and want to compare before and after.
Hi William, thank you for reaching out as I do understand your frustration. Unfortunately, for a repair there are stipulations as to what can be repaired and what would need a replacement.

If you can provide your name, telephone number, carrier, claim number and your best contact information to consumeraffairs@asurion.com, I am happy to take a look.

Verizon paired together with Asurion. It’s easy and quick! I love the online claims process, overnight shipping, and predictable monthly cost. I especially liked getting insured under the broad form style insurance coverage (Total Mobile Protection) for all devices; one cost; $39. I just really appreciate the peace of mind without going overboard on Apple Care Plus.
