    So, I pay insurance fee to Sprint for all my cell phones just in case something happens. I only file a claim when necessary, so I file a claim to get a replacement, it takes them a week to ship. In the meantime they charge the 200$ deductible, send it to crappy FedEx whom never delivered my phone. I call Asurion to inform them, they tell me there is nothing they can do because that is a problem between FedEx and myself, that I need to take it up with them!! Now am beyond frustrated because am already going back and forth with FedEx because of their crappy service. Asurion is still charging me the deductible even though I don't have a phone!!!

    Now I wish the phone companies give a choice of different insurance carriers because Asurion is HORRIBLE. Their customer representatives are UNPROFESSIONALS!! The last thing one told was that they have no control of who picks up the delivery! Like I told her then why the hell do I pay monthly for a service that I don't even use!! And if they see that a customer is having trouble why not follow up is their name on the line!!! My recommendation to people don't waste your time nor your money insuring phones because Asurion are thief!!! They need to be shut down!!!

    Asurion phone protection provided through Verizon Wireless. My Verizon bill statement reads Wireless Phone Protection. Today I learned, as it was pointed out to me by an Asurion Supervisor by the name of Volitra - sorry if I butchered the name - "My "PHONE" IS NOT protected" is my LINE. So, the technicality in this terminology is the following scenario: if you reach the number of claims by their terms and conditions they drop you from this so called phone protection insurance and you will need to start all over again BUT only if you buy a BRAND NEW PHONE you will qualify. After Asurion drops you, it will not allow you to continue to protect your phone on your existing line - only if it is a brand new phone! So, although I purchase protection for my phone, I ended up purchasing protection for my LINE.

    OK... When is your phone that needs protection the actual device, in case of water damage, or stolen, or broken, or dropped, can I drop my line, break my line? Can someone physically take and steal my wireless line? No!! The verbiage isn't clear. PHONE PROTECTION SHOULD BE PHONE PROTECTION. Very disappointing. I hope this helps anyone looking for phone protection. LOL. Very disappointed - feeling like I've been had customer.

    I cancelled this service because my son had previously filed a claim (for a brand new phone) and I paid the $50 deductible (now I know that I could have fixed the phone for not much more than the $50). I was then sent a replacement phone. Unbeknownst to me, they sent a refurbished phone. Unfortunately, my son several months later had another issue with his phone. When he went to file a phone, he was informed it would be $100 or $150 (can't remember now) and on top of that they threatened to cancel the coverage (I have been paying on that insurance nearly 20+ years).

    We decided to get it fixed locally. We were quoted $65 to repair phone but once they went to fix phone and determined it would cost $125. I was like, they sent me a refurbished phone and because of that I have to pay almost double. Well guess what Asurion, you don't have to cancel me but I cancel you not only for my son's phones but all 4 phone lines that I have coverage. You know what's interesting, on this website they are rated only 1 star but when I went to their website, they were rated 5 stars. What a scam! Well, no more money to you. I'm just sorry I allowed you to scam so much money from me for YEARS!!!

    My iPhone 6 plus got water damaged. I connected my old iPhone 4. When Verizon told me I would have to go through Asurion, that's what I did. Over the whole process it took 5 claims for them to get it right because my original iPhone 6 plus wasn't listed on my verizon account because it was damaged and another phone was connected! Obviously! When I told Asurion to reach out to verizon to confirm it was indeed an iPhone 6 plus they said "we can't do that. You will need to fill out another affidavit!!!"

    At this point this is the 5th phone conversation I've had with them, each conversation taking 45 minutes to complete because they need to ask you the same questions and don't keep a record of any of it. I own a business. It is not easy for me to spend 45 minutes on the phone answering questions especially 5 different times. Their customer service is horrific and I too was told my deductible was like car insurance. It's a load of BS. They need to make their employees more aware of rules. Also a heads up, make sure you put the exact date of when your phone was damaged on the affidavit or they will deny you. The worst worst worst company I have ever dealt with BY FAR!! Verizon should totally offer alternate insurance companies.

    I had loss breakage insurance with Asurion on my iPhone. I had the phone for 2 years and it failed to operate one day. No fault of mine, just an electronic failure. I called Asurion immediately and spoke to someone at length and was told I would receive an email within the hour with instructions. No email arrived. Called back and they did not know anything about an email and told me to file a claim online and they would respond within 24 hours. I did that. I checked in 24 hours and they said it would be another 24 hours till they really responded and what the online information said was wrong and so on. Eventually I read more reviews and figured out the outfit was unreliable and went to the store and bought a new phone and chalked up my experience as a waste of time and money.

    6/28/2016 10:45 pm. I called Verizon in regards to my cell phone. This morning I had trouble accessing my phone. Although the power was on; the screen was completely blank (a black screen). Although I could hear the alarm, hear receiving phone calls and able to power on and off, I was not able to utilize the phone. I trouble-shooted by restarting the phone and even removed the battery. The screen remained blank. I became frustrated being that I need my phone for receiving and returning business calls. The Verizon center was closed by the time I came home. I called Verizon who quickly and unknowing forwarded me to Asurion. A man name Patrick seemed confused and spent over an hour trying to assist but was not able to help. He claimed I needed a replacement. He prompted me to a screen for deductibles and stated that I had to pay $149.00 for the replacement since my phone had a crack.

    I informed him that the phone was working fine and I called because the phone screen was blank. He said he could not help. I asked for his Supervisor. I was placed on hold for a while twice. A man by the name of Andrew answered. He refused to state clearly who he was, refused to allow me to speak with a supervisor, refused to give me the name of his supervisor, refused to give me the address of the complaint department and refused to give me a phone number to follow up with a complaint division. I stated "you are refusing to help or give me the information that I am requesting." He said "that's right and his is the highest you can get". Andrew hung up the phone. I googled this company and was shock to see the number of complaints. My problem was not resolved and I was refused to speak with a supervisor or corporate. This needs an investigation. I believe that their goal was not to help but to rob me of money.

Otherwise I'm filing with Consumer Affairs and the attorney general for these outfits to do the right thing for a customer that bought Asurion as a protection plan. So far I sent my beats wireless in to get repaired and the repair was crap and they changed out with someone else's crap. My bluetooth was programmed in many devices and when I received it back. It wasnt the same headphones and Asurion lies and says its the same unit. Please do not purchase a 3 year plan that aint worth ** with the ** repairs made and the down time.

    Just got my headphones back 3 weeks ago and the freaking headphones have the same problem and then some. And they want to send it to the same crap repair depot even though I was promised by malissa that it would go to a different repair depot. Then I get a call today giving me no option but the same crap repair depot on the other side of the country which ** up in the first place. I will never buy beats from anyone ever again. Just a damn shame on beats who deal with these lame ass retail stores... Asurion is a big joke!!! So I would never recommend Asurion to anyone ever. Don't add Asurion on anything.

    When you buy a phone from Verizon, they ask if you want to insure it. They do not give you insurance company choices. They push only ONE insurance company and give you no other option. They charge you 7-10 dollars a month for as long as you have the insurance. Even if you have had the phone for years. The price never goes down. They make you pay a huge deductible (200.00) when the value of your phone may only be 239.00 and tell you that your phone cost 650.00. I stated that is what I paid for it almost two years ago. Are you telling me that is the value of it now??? He said, to think of it like car insurance...when you had to file, you had to pay a deductible.

    Not like car insurance AT ALL. The insurance payment does not go down with the value of the phone. The deductible does not go down. HOWEVER, the value of the phone does!!! My trade in value after I pay a 200 deductible will only be about 239.00 on a phone that I paid 650 dollars for almost 2 years ago and they are telling me that my insurance is covering that amount??? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! Help the masses please!!

    The company gave me what I paid my deductible, a better iPhone 6s Plus then the one I dropped in the water. Let's look at a few things. I never purchase insurance in on my iPhone. Thus once I experienced water damage on the one under contract I contact Sprint, purchase 13 service, order a replacement phone honored by Sprint, pay 200 deductible, cancel insurance after I received the new phone. Now with iPhone forever I wait to trade those phone in for the iPhone 7. Out no money, had Sprint break up the 200 in payments. I don't see what the issue is for most. Why are you paying the 13 every month when you can report a lost one day after adding the insurance? They sent me a nice refurbished iPhone 6S Plus 64 gb space grey. Looks just like the one I dropped in water and works great.

    If any good exists in this world at all, Asurion will be out of business quickly. They assist cell phone carriers in the raping of consumers on a daily basis. We all need mobile phones so we just bend over and take the Asurion treatment over and over and over again. You pay for device insurance every single month. Right? It is at minimum a $5 addition to your cell phone bill every single time. But wait! That adds up to NOTHING. Because Asurion still wants a $150 deductible to fill your claim. And a deductible in any other line of insurance means that if you have another problem within a certain timeframe, they meet the cost and pay for it because you have already paid your dues.

    But oh, no. Not with Asurion. You're paying that every single time or they do nothing, regardless of the timeframe. Or they refuse to cover you at all. And at least my car insurance company will give me a rental should something happen. If you're with a company like Verizon, good luck. You have no phone whatsoever until the replacement arrives. So what exactly am I paying for here? This is consumer rape on a level that is unprecedented. We are better off NOT paying for any mobile insurance. Anything is better than this hack scum low-life company.

    Most recent bad experience? I almost had to wait an additional 24 hours for my replacement phone (not acceptable within the midst of a work week) all because their automated voice system could not recognize my address properly. They were going to make me wait another unnecessary 24 hours because they could not be bothered to put a human being on the phone with me to accurately take my shipping address. The poor lady who managed the Verizon store had to spend an additional 20+ minutes on the phone with these morons to fix it. Then they still charged me TWICE for the deductible. Between the Verizon rape then the Asurion rape, I'm seriously considering going the drug dealer route and just buying cheap burner phones and prepaid type of stuff. Why not? Nothing can be worse than this.

    I have been a customer with Verizon for over 15 years and have paid insurance on a monthly basis to Asurion for all that time. I have needed a replacement phone on 3 occasions. This is how it goes (EVERY TIME!!!). They send a phone that doesn't work, you call them, they replace it with ANOTHER phone that does not work - this goes on for weeks and in 1 case more than a month!!! They take your money and send you faulty equipment. I called and spoke to the corporate office, they REFUSED to even have a conversation because I was recording the call (so I would have proof). THEY can record the call, but I am not allowed to? They are in breach of contract - the contract states they will send me a replacement phone within 24 hrs, sending a broken phone IS NOT a replacement phone! Taking weeks... is not 24 hrs and refusing to allow me to have proof? Well that just shows they are AWARE of what they are doing and do not want evidence!

    This simply the worst experience I ever had with a company! I had an iPhone 6s Plus that went into the water and when I filed a claim Asurion til today was unable to send me the exact device. At first they sent the iPhone 6s simple which is smaller. I notified them of the mistake and I told them I had the 6s plus silver. They then told me that I will have to wait longer because the color was out of stock. A week later They sent me the 6s plus Rose gold. I remain very calm and little upset after all when I called the third time to get my order right! This time the representative told me they still don't have the 16 gb 6s plus silver but the 64 gb 6s plus. I told them I did not care as long as it was the 6 plus silver! Again they sent me the same phone 6s simple silver 64 gb same as the first mistake. Very upset. This time I call them and they are refusing to process another order even though I provide them the shipping number.

    Finally when they received the devices back they tell me that I will get a replacement order but they are not sure that I will get the same color because they have no control of the warehouse. What kind of customer service is that? I then told them that I will wait for the 4th order and if my order is wrong again I will take it to court. It is not free because I pay every month for my insurance plus a deductible to get a replacement so I deserve to get the exact same product.

    Thought it was a good idea to have insurance on my wife's iPhone. I was right. She dropped the phone and cracked the screen. $200 deductible and BAM, my new phone is delivered 3 days later. Only it's not new. It's used. And it didn't work. So they send a second one. You have to love CONSISTENCY. The second phone also didn't work. It's not like they both failed after hours of use... they failed out of the box! So now the third phone just got delivered. I'm guessing it probably doesn't work either, but I'd loved to be surprised. Will cancel the insurance as soon as I get a phone that actually works! Seems like an absolute scam. I wonder if the state's INSURANCE Departments govern this sort of lousy so-called insurance. Seems like BAD FAITH transactions abound with this company.

    I completely regret paying for his service! I purchased my phone at Wal-Mart on November 21, 2014 - iPhone 6. In 2014 paid $179.99 for the phone and $99.00 for the insurance. Was assured my phone would be replaced if I needed to file a claim. On June 8, 2016, I contacted Asurion because the screen was cracked on my phone. They informed me they do not have an iPhone 6 available and will have to refund my money in the form of a Wal-Mart e-card. I can take the gift card to purchase a new phone. I find it very difficult to believe there are no iPhone 6 Sprint phones available. Regardless, the problem is a new phone is considerably more (couple hundred dollars) than I paid for my phone.

    This company is within their rights if you read the very fine print at the bottom of the brochure. However, the Wal-Mart representative who sold me the policy assured me they do not have any issues getting phones replaced. So, I gave this company $99.00 for them to give me back $179.99 (less a $29 processing fee - they agreed to waive but it will come in a separate check). Regardless, they are grossly misrepresented by the sales staff at the store.

    I called the company, informed them I was planning to record the conversation. They refused to speak to me. Apparently, they can record the conversation for quality assurance but the consumer cannot. That in itself should tell you the lack of integrity this company operates on. I have not been told I will receive the e-card and a separate check for the $29.00 service fee upon returning my broken phone. I am very reluctant to send the phone after reading further reviews where they claim they never received a phone that was sent in.

    Now, I'm on a mission. I want to get the word out on how horrible the service really is. Everyone needs to know this insurance is a complete SCAM! They are making millions and using loopholes to take money from unsuspecting consumers. Social Media is a very powerful tool. Please contact me ** on twitter to tell your story. Be sure to include @asurioncares in the tweet. I am one voice but together we can be heard. I really wish someone would file a class action suit against this company for the gross misrepresentation.

    Today I opened up my statement for my Chase credit card and was surprised to see that I owed more than twice what I expected. There was a $149 UNAUTHORIZED charge from Asurion. I had no clue who these people were until I looked them up on the internet. I have never done business with them, and sure as heck would never pay $149 for insurance for a cell phone that I paid $300 for!

    I never use this card except on Amazon.com. Never bought a cellphone with it, only accessories. So now I am suffering the inconvenience of having the card cancelled, and unusable until I get my replacement in the mail in four or five days. If you don't pay attention to your credit card statements - let this be a warning. Companies like this are criminals.

    I have had nothing but a pleasant experience dealing with Asurion Device replacement within the last year. In November of 2015 my son's iPhone 5s was stolen. I completed a claim with Asurion paid my $149 deductible and they mailed a replacement next day. Refurbished or new Asurion backs their devices with a one year warranty. In May of this year the Touch ID stopped working on the replacement 5s so I contacted Asurion and they promptly sent another device. It just so happened that this device was not working correctly either.

    About a week after receiving it the iPhone would lose cellular service and the only way to get service restored was to restart the iPhone. I worked with Verizon on this issue. We tried resetting network settings restoring phone to factory settings via iPhone and iTunes and a new SIM. None of this fixed the issue. So I contacted Asurion again and told them of the issue and because of all the trouble they offered to send me a brand new iPhone 6 along with EarPods and a case for all of my trouble with the phone.

    When I received the replacement it was in fact factory sealed in Apple box with all the accessories inside. They also stayed true to their word with a free case and an extra set of unbranded EarPods. Also in April of this year my other son's iPhone 6 Plus was stolen and after paying the deductible of $199 they promptly sent a brand new one to him. It didn't come in the factory box, but I was able to confirm it was new by registering the serial number on Apple's support profiles site and confirming the one year Apple warranty. I don't understand why so many negative reviews when in my situations Asurion has been nothing but pleasant to work with on device replacements.

    To make a long story short, I have dealt with Asurion several times now and have always been taken advantage of. The last situation was after losing my phone, I made a claim through Asurion after fighting with them to get a replacement for over 2 hours on the phone. Finally they agreed, sent a new phone that I received 2 days later.

    In those 2 days, I found my original phone, so when the replacement arrived I opened it to take return label out. I attached the return label on the outside of the box and sent it off. I have spoken with Asurion 6x now to get my $150 deductible refunded and all they are saying is they never received the phone back to their warehouse. The tracking number now does not work and I am out of my $150. When I asked the rep on the phone how often this happens and if my complaint/situation is common, I was told she cannot answer that question. Sounds very suspect, and I would gladly sign up for a class action lawsuit against Asurion. Complete scam of a company and AT&T should change their insurance provider!

    This is a very useless insurance company. Never use them. Asurion is a scam. I have been with them for more than 5 years.

They tell me that I have to pay a $200 deductible. I spoke with the customer rep., Stephany. She told me that because my insurance was changed from individual to group insurance that reset the clock and now I don't qualified for any discount on the deductible. That makes no sense. I have been paying for my insurance regardless of what you call it (individual or group insurance). In other words, I need to pay $200 to fix my screen.

    After several years of coverage I lost an iPad and file a claim. This has been denied since they report that the sim continued to be active after the date of loss. It took a day to recognize that the iPad was lost so it is not surprising that it was not turned off at the time of loss. In fact had known that if I was losing it and turned it off I would not have lost it. The notification of denial does not provide a phone number or provide information regarding appeal rights. I would advise those with this insurance to cancel it.

    I was standing in Verizon while calling Asurion and after being hung up on once, calling back to have the rudest woman tell me I didn't have insurance and to call Verizon (remind you I was in Verizon) to verify, which was funny because they did but she wouldn't accept it. I then asked for a manager and she told me she will connect me to a customer care department (they have a customer care department to oversee the customer service dept) which was zero help. The customer care lady told me that I was wrong and that I didn't have insurance yet 2 people with Verizon stated to her that I was paying insurance, she told me I was lying. This company is a complete and utter joke. They will not honor your insurance even though you’re paying for it. THE WORST COMPANY EVER and an embarrassment to call the department customer service or care, because they don't.

    I have an 18 year old son who is away at school in another state. My son called me from the school to advise his phone was lost or stolen. Rather than submitting a claim and having the phone shipped to him he asked that I wait till he came home for the memorial day weekend. I went to Asurion's website to file my claim. On the claim form it ask for the date of the incident. Not knowing the exact date I put May 12th. In the comments section I advised them I wasn't exactly sure of the date of the incident however it was around that time. It then asked me for the make and model of my phone. One of the options was unknown. At the time I had no idea what kind of phone my son had. It wasn't like I could even call him to ask. So I selected unknown.

    Late on that day I received an email stating my claim was under review. The next day I checked the status it said I had to call in, more information was needed. I called and spoke to a rep and she told me they need the make and model of the phone. Now to me if you are doing the insurance for my carrier, shouldn't you know this information? If I told you it was an iPhone, isn't there a way for you to verify it was a Samsung? Anyway, I told her the phone was my sons. I have no idea what the phone was and I have no way of contacting him obviously. I doubt if he would even know what the make and model was. She proceeds to tell me I then need to call my provider to get that information.

    Ok before I proceed there are two things wrong here. If it is absolutely necessary for me to have the make and model of the phone why is unknown an option to select. Why not stop the person right there and say "this information is needed please contact your provider" or something along those lines. So I specifically asked the rep, "Is there any other information I am going to need in order to get this done when I call back?" She said "no that's all we need." I call my provider, get the information, call Asurion back. Asurion rep ask me for the make and model, I gave it to them. They then ask what date was the phone lost/stolen. I told them "I'm not sure. About 2-3 weeks ago." Guess what the rep said? "We need the exact date." Are you kidding me? They needed me to call my provider and get the exact date. Wow! So here I go again.

    When I call Asurion back after being transferred 5-6 times a rep says "your claim was cancelled. I will reopen another one. Please hold while I contact the verification department." "The what? You mean to tell me you have a department who could verify the information you had me call my provider to get." She places me on hold for 5 minutes. Then the call disconnects. WOW! Here we go again. I call back. [Another issue, the IVR ask for your phone number, you give it. It then ask if your provider is Verizon Wireless. I say no, it transfers me, guess who answers the phone. The Verizon support group. Instead of transferring me to the Asurion group for my provider they transfer me to my phone provider. I call back, go through the same thing, this time when the rep ask me for my phone number I ask right away "are you a Verizon rep?" She answers yes and then transfers me.]

    I finally get a rep on the line. I immediately ask for a manager. He ask why. I explain, he takes responsibility and proceeds to help me. In our conversation he advised me my claim was processed 4 times and therefore now I have to wait for an email, respond to it and it will be processed within 3 hours. The problem I have here is I only processed the claim online once. Therefore every rep I spoke with, instead of them completing a claim they started a new one each time. Guess what the email is? An affidavit in which I have to sign a document and send them a valid picture ID.

    With all the issues I just had, why would I trust my personal information in anyone's hands at this company? But guess what, if I want a phone I'm just going to have to. I have approximately 6 phones through one provider and 3 phones through another provider and unfortunately they both use Asurion. I was just informed by a friend that AT&T have their own in-house insurance. I will be moving all my lines over just so I do not have to deal with this company ever again once I can confirm that.

I just got this phone and my husband was in the process of activating this phone on our account when he slipped and it fell to the ground and got a tiny crack in the LCD. I thought, "Well, no problem. We have insurance. I called Asurion and they refuse to cover the phone because it was not on my account.

I took it to AT&T explained my situation and they gladly added the phone to my account and activated the device. I thought great I can now get this covered!

    NOPE. Now Asurion tells me that the phone is now active but since it did not have any DATA or calls, it still is not covered. I asked to speak to a manager and they were ruder than the reps and told me the same story. So no luck for me. No phone covered and I am out the money. I am going to demand my money back and file a fraud complaint against them. I even have the receipt of the new phone purchased. THEY JUST DON'T CARE. Save your money.

    My telephone provider, AT&T uses Asurion for insurance like all the other telephone providers in the US. I bought a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge last May and it quit working. No clue that it was going to quit working, just dead. I have used Asurion in the past 2 times to get a non smartphone replacement phone. Both times the phone was sent out to get it within 2 days. That was the good part. The first phone worked for 3 months. The second one worked for 6 months and I had to pay a claim amount double to the first one. So I had now paid $150 for 2 refurbished phones that lasted 9 months. I was not eligible for another replacement, so I went to Walmart and purchased a GoPhone for $50. I waited until I could get an upgrade and did it. Now that my Edge has quit working, it is $199 to make a claim even though I have not made a claim in the last 12 months and according to the policy it is 50% off for not having made a claim, so it should be $99.

    So I have paid $410 for the phone, $360 for insurance, and would pay $199 for claim. That equals $969 total. Asurion changed the policy in March to amend it that they now only have to provide a comparable phone per value at time of claim. I am paying $915 for my new phone, but they can send me any smartphone by any manufacturer as long as it has similar features which is a broad guideline. I have checked the selling value of my phone online and it is $300. I have looked at other reviews and saw how people get the phone promptly, but have many issues with the phones not working or not working well, or even don't get a battery so that the phone can be turned on upon arrival. I chose not to make a claim. I am not sure why all the phone providers use this company as the reviews are horrible at best. Undecided as to my plan, but I will probably be spending the $550 to pay off my phone and get a new one. I will not pay for inept.

    The worst experience ever. My phone was cracked and I called this insurance company to ask how much is the deductible. The representative 1 told me I had to do all the claim process, which includes photocopy of my driver's license and the affidavit, only to hear how much is my deductible amount. I called Asurion again after taking my time to do this process, and the representative 2 told me that I did not have to do it and she told me the deductible amount right away. Then I was transferred to the customer representative 3 who supposedly is a manager position and she advised me, with attitude, to wait for 2 weeks so I was eligible for paying less deductible because one year was about to pass since I got my phone.

    I waited as advised and called again only to hear representative 4 telling me I was not eligible for the discounted amount because the day I called in was the "report" date and it would not make any difference if I waited any longer. She even told me I am about to commit an "insurance fraud." In sum, all representatives were very rude and incompetent as to their subject matter. I strongly suggest this company to invest more money into training because apparently what I received was the customer representatives disrespectful attitudes and inconsistent information, which apparently almost lead me to "commit insurance fraud."

    This phone is a piece of poop. I got an LG Stylo phone through Asurion, an insurance deal through MetroPCS. Asurion claims they will send you a new phone or a refurbished one at their option, depending on the equipment. What that means is, they will send you a used phone that doesn't work. I am sure they are all refurbished. I had to pay insurance every month for the program, which was $6 a month. I didn't realize there was $100 deductible. The ** phone only cost me $125 to start with for the new, working one!

    The battery on this thing was half dead when I got it. It won't even stay charged a few hours if I'm online. I didn't realize they gave you a used battery too! It clearly was refurbished from being dropped. A different back and front were assembled as the back had two small scratches on it when I received it, and the front had two dents on it, on the side, where it would have fractured the screen when dropping (The ridge that wraps around the side of your phone, on the front). Because of that, when I did drop it, the pressure the drop put on the screen at that side caused it to readily break. The mouthpiece is crap, and nobody can hear me. I have replayed voicemails I left, and can't even understand myself! "Talk to Type" is a joke, probably because the phone can't understand me either! This thing is a ** piece of poop!

    This phone was supposed to replace my perfectly brand new phone I bought. That is why I bought the insurance! Asurion didn't give a Flying leap of course, the phone wasn't even dispositioned when I got it, and I had to wait all weekend for them to put it on a list Monday to make it work with my service provider. Didn't I tell them who my service provider was? I have been soundly, and roundly ripped off by both MetroPCS and Asurion insurance, more than once by MetroPCS. Please see my review of them, and my review of their store on Federal in Denver for more information. This is not Okay. If you have also been ripped off, let me know if there is going to be a class action lawsuit, I want in! This is some ** from some ** providers! At least, whatever you do, you know that you have been warned. By me.

    Now I am not the only one to warn you, out of thousands of ratings, they have an average of 1 star. I am serious when I say, I believe their actions, over this volume of people, violate laws, and a shark of a lawyer would easily get them. In a class action lawsuit, the lawyer winds up getting most of the money you would have gotten back from the company, but Asurion still has to pay. The other option though, is to wait for the lawsuit to play out, and use the evidence of the class-action suit to file suit directly. The grounds are the same, and while a different case, the jury already knows a decision has essentially been reached. It would probably be a judge trial actually, but the results would be the same. You must opt out of the class action lawsuit to be eligible to file suit directly. That is all.

So why is it so difficult to provide a battery with the replacement phone? I'm sure many replacements are being shipped, and although I appreciate the next day delivery, that becomes meaningless when I now have to wait over the weekend for a battery.

    WORST experience ever! I have been a customer of Sprint for 4 years and have been paying insurance on two phones for the whole 4 years. I know it's a gamble when it comes to insurance with phones but added together that would be approximately $1000.00, that I have given Asurion in the past 4 years, this is also my first claim. I cracked and broke my Samsung Galaxy Sport and decided to go through Asurion and pay the deductible which is $200.00. The representative there told me they can only give me a Galaxy S5 because the sport is no longer manufactured. Asurion proceeded to tell me it's the same phone but the sport is water resistant whereas the Galaxy S5 is not. I need a water resistant phone because I work on boats. I proceeded to tell them I need my original device because I'm paying monthly for insurance or they should lower my deductible.

    I then asked nicely to speak with a manager and in turn the representative hung up on me. I proceeded to call back and finally gave in and took the Galaxy S5 because they offered to mail me a check to pay for the full cost of the 600 dollar Galaxy Sport but it would take 7 days to get the check by mail. I would still have to pay for the $200.00 deductible. I also cannot wait that long as I need my phone for work.

    Yesterday I went into Sprint to get a waterproof case for a Galaxy 5 and they don't sell them anymore so Sprint decided to see if I was eligible for an upgrade, turns out I am which would cost 80.00 to upgrade early because I'm leasing the device. The Sprint associate went to apply this to my account and after all the problems I encountered with Asurion I CANNOT trade in the Galaxy S5 because it's not the original model I had (Galaxy Sport). Today I am returning to Sprint to try and dispute the matter with Sprint on my side. At this point I don't want to deal with Asurion and I'm thinking of canceling my service and going to a phone company that does not affiliate with them.

If you happen to get someone on the phone (they try to leave you on hold a minimum of 30 minutes during which time you get a continual loop recording stressing how easy it would be to simply file online) you can count on being disconnected a minimum of 3-5 times and each time you have to call, listen to brainwashing recording and start all over again.

Asurion has a "declining deductible" for their "loyal" insureds of $199. If you do not file a claim in 6 months it's reduced 25% and 1 year it's reduced 50%. Get this, I file my claim in May, but it's 2 weeks short of the EXACT day, not month but day, so they would not honor a 50% reduced deductible. SORRY customer service!!

The first few times I had to replace my phone because it was stolen or the screen cracked, I received a brand new device for a deductible of $160, which I thought was very fair. More recently, I've received refurbished devices that almost always end up having technical problems, or a very bad battery life since they aren't new. This happened to me just recently, where my refurb replacement wouldn't stay on if it was lower than 55% charged, and would constantly turn itself on and off in a loop.

Information I offered to send with initial affidavit, and they said not to, ended up being one of many delaying factors (my receipt). I was told my claim was denied, approved, waiting on my shipping address, item shipped, then please pick a replacement item from this list of items not even close to being comparable to the item I lost. Once I rejected their replacement offer I was told a claims adjuster would be reaching out to me for a cash buy out in 24-48 hours.

    Finally, I called 96 hours later and was told my buyout was approved 4 days ago and they were waiting on me to approve such. How can I approve something that I don't know exists. Called AT&T to get my premiums back and they gave me 2 months credit and the supervisor stated he himself had a similar experience with his personal phone. Denied his claim stating that calls were made from his phone after he reported it as stolen, insinuating fraud on his part, how would they know this without access to AT&Ts system?

    I will start by saying I would give a lower rating than the one star if it was an option. This insurance company "Asurion" is the worst. Nightmare!! First it is not any fun when you damage a phone (crack screen) and have to pay the deductible. However the torture that they then put you through in getting the replacement is ridiculous. I get the replacement and then 3 weeks later it will not work. I worked with Verizon first who was excellent. They had great customer service and were very patient with me spending more than an hour troubleshooting on the phone. After several calls to Verizon along with Google chats it was determined it was a defect and needed to be replaced.

    When submitting to Asurion the claim was declined and said it was not covered because it would be warranty and referred me back to Verizon. When going back to Verizon they explained that since Asurion provided the replacement phone because of a claim they would be responsible for replacing it under their warranty. This time Verizon did a warm conference with Asurion and they agreed to replace it. However now they are asking for a credit card to have on file and would not order my warranty replacement phone. They are NOT easy to do business with. They do not put the consumer first nor do they understand the urgency of providing good service to their consumer. I know there are other insurance providers out there and hope that Verizon will not extend a contract with them when it is renewal time as they do NOT value the Verizon consumer.

    I filed a claim to replace a shattered screen and was sent a refurbished phone. Right out of the box the phone had terrible battery life and a short time later the touchscreen stopped working. The battery is simply an inconvenience; the touchscreen a necessity. I contacted Asurion and was amused that the phone tree had an option for poor battery life and/or dead touchscreen. The operator was friendly enough, took my information and let me know that they would be sending me a new phone. Had the experience ended there this would be a five star review.

    A week later I contacted them again to follow up with the phone. I was informed that my order had not yet been completed and they needed me to answer a few more questions. I asked out of curiosity if they were ever going to let me know that my order had not yet been completed. No, they weren't. I gave the same information as the time before, confirmed my address, and asked if my order was in fact "complete." Yes, I would have my phone Monday (it was Thursday when I called). Monday comes and there is no phone. I call back and OF COURSE there is no record of me ever calling. Was it with a different department? No, I had never been transferred. Now I would be transferred.

    I give the same information as before but this time was read much more legal information and given an order number. The order number is tied to a FedEx tracking number so who knows, my dreams may be coming true and after three weeks will be getting a replacement phone. I won't hold my breath as to guessing when it will arrive or even work.

    This is an important HEADS UP for consumers in the US. We bought a washing machine at Home Depot and also purchased the service contract from Asurion. We knew the service plan was necessary because as many people know I am a completely disabled vet with a leg amputation and cancer. When we purchased the machine and service plan we were VERY clear we had a limited income and needed a reliable machine with a great service plan. Sure enough in time, we needed the machine serviced. The result - not covered because the water pump and drain hose are clogged with hair and dirt.

    They say anything that is external to the machine that damages it is not covered. This means if you put dirty clothes in a washer and the dirt clogs it the service contract does not cover it. We would never bought it or the contract if we had any clue of this stupid clause. Asurion covers more than washing machines so be sure to read your 'plan' very carefully before wasting your money.

    I dropped my cell phone and cracked the screen. I have Asurion Insurance coverage through T-Mobile. I went on the Asurion website "phoneclaim.com" to enter information for my claim. At the end of the process, I get a screen saying they need more information and to call their customer service number (888-881-2622). I waited a few minutes until "Sherree" came on. I gave her the same information I had provided on their website. Sherry had problems accessing the T-Mobile account. Then she said she couldn't help and asked I call back one hour later. One hour later, I called and waited and got "Amanda" who said she couldn't help. She couldn't access the information. I called a third time and got "Brittany" and I got the same runaround. In between "Sherree" and "Amanda", I called T-Mobile and asked about my account settings. Yes, indeed, I was covered under the Asurion policy and that I needed to call them.

    So, if I can get account info from T-Mobile, why couldn't "Sherree", "Amanda", or "Brittany" get my account information??? I got the impression that the Asurion agents are trained to be as uncooperative as possible in order to dissuade any effort to make a claim. Let me tell you that the result of this experience is that I just now cancelled the Asurion policy through T-Mobile with a comment to the T-Mobile billing people that Asurion operates in bad faith. Very unsatisfactory performance on their part. Do not trust them.

    Asurion only replaces damaged phones with refurbished phones - not new. All of the refurbished phones have problems (probably why they were turned in, in the first place). I have received 3 different phones now and every one of them is junk. The screen on my current one is coming off and it doesn't work for hours at a time. I'm told that screen damage voids their warranty and I will now have to pay another $200 deductible. This for the third faulty phone they have sent to me, and knowing I will just get another refurbished piece of junk.

    The best part of the situation is that I am still paying for the brand new, perfectly functional phone I sent them originally. So I'm now $1200 into an $800 phone that I no longer own. Something seems really wrong and unfair with this set-up. Asurion cell phone insurance is a waste of money. I've cancelled my service with them. I have learned the hard way that I should have just taken my phone to Apple and had the screen replaced for $50.

    I purchased the policy thru phone wireless store during my recent phone upgrades and was told this policy is the best you can do with your plan (right). So I purchased the multi-device protection plan (MDPP) and it was supposed to cover not only my phones, but also computers that are wifi-connected. Several months later, I ran into a problem with my laptop and submit a claim. It took me over a month as I kept getting a run around from the company. They wanted all kinds of form including the original receipt with the laptop serial number included (no you cannot get one with your serial # on the receipt!) I've tried going back to the vendor several times and finally was able to explain to Asurion that there isn't one, then followed up with more forms.

    After they sent me a box to ship the laptop, few days later, they sent me back the exact laptop un-repaired with a simple note, "We can't help you as the device appears to be tampered." I called back explaining the problem. The hard drive was there, but after escalating to their manager, and office of the CEO, their answer is the same. They are eager in taking my insurance money ($30/month) but when it's time to get my equipment repaired or/and replaced... that's a different story. I think it's simply a convenient excuse to not fix it instead. I cancelled my insurance policy with them thru my wireless carrier the same day. I suggest other save their money or purchase insurance coverage (if you really have to) thru other companies. If there is a zero star for rating on the experience, I would.

    I have been an AT&T customer since 2005. This should not be a reflection on AT&T but on Asurion's practices. I added Asurion insurance to all new devices starting in 2013. On November 2015, I added a two new devices. AT&T's customer agent, being as great as they always are, recommended switching all devices to Asurion's multi-device plan. This would save me money. Great! This week I started a claim on one of the devices that have been under Asurion coverage since 2013. Guess what! Asurion claims that the device has only being in "the plan" for 6 months. That is because switching plans "reset the clock" on all the devices. In other words, they do not recognize that this phone has actually been insured for longer than the latest plan change (from Asurion to Asurion)!!! All that changed was the Premium type! From single device to multi-device.

    BEWARE OF THESE SHADY SALESPEOPLE AND COMPANIES!!! We have been with AT&T for close to 10 years. We went to add a phone back in November, our 6th line for our 4th child. The sales guy tried to talk me into the warranty program that AT&T is in partnership with, Asurion. I never take these warranties, because they don't usually go in the favor of the purchaser, ever. After I told him that, he said it would be no charge, because we were adding another phone and it covered three lines. My wife and I agreed and finished the transaction. So, a few months later one of our phones' screen breaks, and we decide to go into AT&T and check out what the no-charge warranty program deductible will cost to fix. We then find out we have been paying $29.99 for the warranty every month. We are dumbfounded that we were paying for this service and that the salesperson flat out lied about us being charged.

    Seems the store manager has no problems with this type of criminal activity under his management, probably gets a bonus from AT&T and Asurion for it. We were then told that we would get a new phone from Asurion for $149. At this point we decide let's see what it entails and go to the Asurion website to find that it actually will cost $199. I call Asurion and they say it is $199 because of the fine print that no one can read or understand. Wow, I'm now in for close to $400 to fix a screen that I can have done for $80. It's not so much the money, it's more about the shady business practices of this AT&T store, and maybe it's all of them. I'd compare them to crappy used car salesmen.

    Beware of their tricks and deceit along with AT&T's convoluted billing that buries these types of add-ons. This warranty fee was hidden in my 11-year-old's phone account. How shady is that. I'm surprised no one has notified the Attorney General or the media outlets about the shady practices of AT&T and Asurion.

That they are not honoring the warranty of the phone.

    This is illegal. I asked for another manager. I got Shawanka and she is sticking with the same story. Said that this is a new policy and they require this now or they won't give you your money back, so you basically can't get another phone at unless you want to pay the $699 out of pocket and then pray they pay you back which most likely is a scam and they won't honor it.

About 2 weeks later an Asurion rep called saying that they would not repair it because we slammed it face down. That absolutely never happened. If it even had been laid down before being hung, it would have been on our bed. They basically have indicated that we are liars and they refuse to fix it.

I explained it said TMO meaning Tmobile might have charged it. They said anyone can use anyone's credit card if they have an account with Asurion wireless Insurance and get a replacement phone for that charge. I asked "how could someone use my card to get a replacement phone for their account and don't you keep a record?" They refused to give me a supervisor or Manager to speak to. I said "you are making it easy for fraud by allowing anyone to use anyone's credit card to pay for a replacement phone". What kind of a Company makes fraud easy for crooks.?

    I called Tmobile where I have my account and the loyalty department said they would do a three way call with me and they got this woman who admitted there is no account in my name or phone number and their policy allows anyone to use anyone's card. I ask for a supervisor. I knew that the CEO of Tmobile wrote all subscribers a few months ago saying all accounts were compromised and they would give us Experian to guard our account for free against Identity theft. They have my card on file for auto monthly payments and I don't feel safe since this charge does mention Tmo. In any case I reported this to my credit card and they offered to reverse the charge after the pending charge goes through if this Asurion which said they were going to investigate the charge with their fraud dept. Tmobile said they were going to investigate the charge with their fraud dept.

    When the pending charge did go through the bank offered to dispute the charge and give conditional refund. A week later the same charge came up again as a Pending charge and right after that it went through and I reported it and was given a conditional refund and the card was stopped and another card I am waiting to arrive by mail. I don't trust Companies that allow anyone to use anyone's card and Tmobile says all wireless companies and other companies use Asurion. Nobody at Asurion would speak to me about their practice of allowing fraud to occur so easily with replacement phones.

I reached out AGAIN in February through their website and was told by someone named Paul that a shipping label would be emailed to me. I never received that one either. Then I spoke on the phone with someone named Ryan in February who promised that since I did not get the emails, he would ensure a label would be physically mailed to me in 10 days. He confirmed my mailing address but I never received the shipping label by mail.

    Then I reached out through the website again on March 10th but I received no response at all. I just called back today and spoke with a Ricky who refused to talk to me about my claim. He did give me his employee ID number which curiously enough was the same ID number as Ryan who I spoke with in February. He could not explain why two different employees in the same company had the same ID number. Since he refused to help me with my claim, I ended up calling the company who I received the watch from today and after explaining the awful customer service with Asurion, they quickly exchanged my damaged watch with a new one. So basically, the added insurance I bought from Asurion was worthless because the original seller had to pick up the slack of Asurion.

    As I was driving home from the seller today, I FINALLY received an email from Asurion with the shipping label promised in 3 months ago which proves that they had the capability to send it via email all along. At this point, if they could not handle sending a shipping label for over 3 months, I would most certainly not trust them with an expensive watch. I refuse to ever do business with them again and will refuse to buy a product that uses them for any warranty. I strongly suggest anyone reading this do the same.

In January of 2016 I dropped my iPhone 6+ and cracked the screen, I called Asurion and filed a claim, got told of my $200 deductible (for a PHONE!! WHAT?!?!) Well didn't have cash to put out for a $200 PHONE DEDUCTIBLE at that point in time, and the phone was still useable, so I thought "well I'll just do it when it finally goes out completely." About 2 weeks later it finally quit completely so I swapped the sim card out to my old iPhone 5 to have a device until I could afford to pay that ridiculous phone deductible! Well finally in March I had the extra cash to pay that deductible. So I call Asurion and they ask if this is still about the claim started in January, and yes it was.

    I am still in the process of completing a claim through Asurion, so the following is incomplete. On Tuesday, March 8th, I drove off with the iPhone 6s Plus I bought on March 3rd, five days before. So, I bought the phone on Thursday then left for a road trip on Saturday. By Tuesday, my phone had been run over by a car. My fault. I owned as much. Having been a Sprint customer for years, and having paid Asurion many monthly premiums on my son's phones, I was under the false impression that I could file a claim and have a new phone within 24 hours. This is critical when traveling for at least two reasons: I'm not in the same place for more than a couple days, and second, I needed a map app to find destinations. Sprint told me I would have the phone in 24 hours. Apple recommended an insurance claim due to the degree of damage to my brand new phone.

    First, Asurion told me I could only receive a refurbished phone for a five-day-old brand new phone. This would never fly with car insurance claims. Second, they said I needed to send an affidavit, a copy of my id, and wait for a 24-hour review before my used phone would even be sent. Then it would take 24-48 hours to receive the new used phone. I had a fit. I was treated as though I was trying to commit fraud. You treat someone like they're committing fraud when they are committing fraud not when they pay their bills, and depend on their insurance company to make them whole.

    I am home from my trip now and had to depend on my son's phone the rest of the way home. I still have no phone and am ready to call a news network as well as take them to small claims court. I will be posting on Facebook, and adding this to my travel blog. It's now Sunday, five days after my phone went for a walk on the highway. Nothing!

    I've owned and insured cell phones with Asurion through Verizon for a very long time. Until 2/15, I've never had to file a claim. Here's my experience with that claim and two subsequent claims: 2/15 -- My RAZR MAXX HD, purchased new in 2012, died. Paid the $99 deductible and received an exact replacement the next day. Totally satisfied.

    2/16 -- My replacement died. I called Asurion and was certain I'd have to pay another deductible, but since the phone was not dropped or water damaged, they did not charge me a deductible. I was ON THE LAST DAY OF MY WARRANTY! How often does THAT happen?! Called Friday night around 8 P.M. and had my replacement Saturday before 10 A.M.

    3/16 -- 10 days later, the new replacement's mic quit working (could not make or receive calls). Call Asurion. Rep said that because of the multiple defects in such a short time, they wanted to send me a new (not refurbished) phone, a Droid Turbo 2. I asked if my phone was available as a refurb if that's what I wanted. They said, "Yes, but don't you want the new phone?" Quickly looked it up, liked the Turbo 2 specs, and let them send me that. Got it the next day, no deductible, of course. I'm pretty quick to take a second when I have a bad experience with a company. Thought it would only be fair to do the same when the service was exceptionally good, too.

    First I didn't receive any letter, email or nothing saying I had to turn in the phone when I did it online. The minute I knew I called and they told me I would receive something in the mail where I could send in my phone. And I waited longer than the 2-3 business days and nothing, even after they confirmed my address with them. So I called again. Same thing. They sent me the thing and I waited but I never got it. So the third time I called, the lady was nice and said she would just email me the UPS thing so I could print it out.

    So I did and she said they would receive it within 2-4 days just to check my tracking number, to call back as soon as it delivered and that they would connect my phone right then and there. And so I call today because my tracking number said it was delivered yesterday at 9 am, and the lady told me they haven't received it and that it takes 3-5 days to be updated in the system. At this point, I'm frustrated because everyone is telling me something completely different.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT get insurance through Asurion. I have Sprint and have been paying for equipment protection for years and years, never having actually needed to use it until this past weekend when I lost my phone. I filed a claim with Asurion and was told I would hear back within 24 hours. So, I wait the 24 hours and when I still haven't heard any updates, I call a rep... They tell me that I need to fill out an affidavit and send it back with a copy of my idea. She tells me she will send me a link to the document. After an hour, I still hadn't received the link, so I chat a rep online. They confirm my email and tell me they will resend the link.

    Another hour goes by and I still haven't received a link so I chat with another rep. After going through this whole debacle with them, THIS rep is like, "Oh, I can just send you a link here." So, it literally took three people to tell me where this stupid document is. I fill out the affidavit and send it back. I receive confirmation that it was received and that I should hear back within 8 hours. So, about 8 hours later, I get a call from Asurion saying they have an update on my claim and that I should call the number they provided. I called and the rep tells me that I "need to fill out an affidavit and send it back." When I explained to her that I had already done so, she says, "Oh yes, I see that you have submitted. Unfortunately, the office of the team that reviews these claims is closed, but I should hear more in the morning."

    Fast forward 24 hours after sending the affidavit, still no word from Asurion. So, I chat with a new representative that tells me I "need to fill out an affidavit and send it back." I said that I had done that already. She says, "Yes, but we need it from the main account holder." I tell her "that's me... There's no one else on the account." At this point, I'm getting really irritated so this rep tells me that I need to call the number provided. I call and talk to a girl who tells me that I, "need to fill out an affidavit and send it back." So, this is the THIRD rep that tells me to send an affidavit AFTER I had already sent it. I explain this to her in the politest way I can given the circumstances.

    She leaves the phone to talk to the people who are reviewing the claim. When she comes back, she tells me they are still reviewing, but I should hear something today. So, I say "Ok, what happens when I DON'T hear something today because I have been given misinformation and false promises for four days now." She says, "Then just call back." And I was like, "FOR HOW LONG? I have called and chatted 10 people at this point and still nothing has been accomplished." She apologized and said I would hear back today. I said, "When? When today?" She said she had no clue. I hung up on her.

    Ok, so phones are important. I use my phone for everything. I've have protection through Asurion for 6 years at $11 a month. That's $800 I've paid to Asurion without ever having filing a claim. That would pay for a new iPhone6, yet I'm fine paying the $200 deductible to a replacement phone (because, let's face it, we all know the replacements they send aren't new)... I just need my phone. It's been four days and absolutely NOTHING has been resolved and my hopes aren't high that that's going to change anytime soon. Avoid Asurion at all costs. They're a miserable company run by miserable people and their customer service is appalling.

    I was convinced by sprint to get this insurance when I signed up with them back in June 2015. I got the iPhone 6 in gold. A few months down the road I drop and crack my screen. No problem I figured since I got the insurance. I call and they tell me it's a $200 deductible to replace the phone. No one told me that when I signed up and I thought "why am I paying monthly fees when it will cost me more to replace the phone than what I originally paid for it??" So whatever, I pay it. They didn't have the gold in stock so they sent me the space gray. Not happy about that because it's not the phone I purchased so I paid $200 for a phone that is different and not what I wanted but I had no choice.

    Thanksgiving I drop my phone on the pavement and the screen completely shatters worse than last time. I think "ok I paid the deductible so I shouldn't have to pay anything again" (in my head I'm thinking it's like a deductible with anything else and once you meet the deductible you're good for the year). Well stupid me because they tell me it will be ANOTHER $200 to replace this one! I argued with them and they said "well that's our pricing, nothing we can do about that." I call sprint and they said there's nothing they can do. At this point I'm livid. I'm like "I'm not paying $400 for a phone that is not even like the one I got and is less than a year old, this is **!!" They said "sorry" nothing they can do.

    My advice? Stay away from Asurion. They're crooks and your monthly fee for insurance means absolutely nothing. I ended up taking the phone to Apple and they fixed the screen for a little over $100 and I only waited an hour. However, after they fixed the screen there was problems with the receiver when making calls so I went back to Apple with my receipt and they replaced it with a brand new phone for FREE! Stick to the Apple Store. You don't even need Apple care.

    Dealing with Asurion has been difficult. The company does not provide a fillable form for filing a claim online. The other option is to fax. Faxing was not an option for me. I had no way to download the document for several days. When I was finally able to download the form I then had to complete the form by hand, find a way to take a picture of it (the device wasn't working to take a picture), upload it and then send in the claim. The claim was submitted and more than one email was sent requesting information that had already been submitted. The claim was then inexplicably held up. It wasn't until I received a call from Asurion inquiring about the claim.

    The phone agent was informed the claim had been submitted. After placing me on hold, the agent came back on to say that the claim had been held. When asked why, no plausible reason was provided. The site indicates that claims are responded to within hours. That did not happen. I attempted to file the claim February 12th, received a call February 21st. The device MUST be signed for in person, you don't have to be that person, it just has to be a live person. I wasn't able to sign the delivery slip to have the device left because of the Asurion requirement for a live signature, even though the signature did not need to be me. I live alone and work during the day and was not able to sign for the delivery.

    I missed 3 delivery attempts and I was not able to provide an alternative delivery location when using the UPS tracking number. I then had to go to the UPS Customer Service, in another city, to physically pick up the device and sign for it. I received the device February 26th. So much for a "few hour" process. In this age of technology a fillable form would have made this process easy and efficient.

I contacted Asurion on 3/2/16 to check the status of my claim due to still not receiving the gift card and was told they have to re-issue the claim request and I have to wait an additional 72 hours to get the gift card. I have no bed to sleep on and did what I was suppose to do to file the claim. Yet I am still being punished to have to wait a whole week to get an airbed replaced. Things are done electronically for convenience but this company has dropped the ball. Never will I purchase insurance from this company again.

    Within the last eight months I have had two of my phones break. The first phone took almost three months to get fixed. Between their lack of responsiveness on paperwork, to sending me a replacement phone that was so old Apple wouldn't even let us do the updates. Consequently the phone wouldn't even work. Then we got a phone with the same problem as the original phone and had to be returned. Finally the phone was fixed. Now I am having a similar support problem. I've repeatedly sent paperwork they say they didn't receive - one set of paperwork was sent from the AT&T store by me and a store employee and they said they never received it. Finally I receive an email saying all necessary documents have been received and I will hear back within 8 hours with the next steps to take. That was NINE days ago. This is by far the worst support group I've ever had to interact with. AT&T needs to drop these guys ASAP.

    I had a simple problem. After purchasing an Xbox one And the extended warranty I was put under the illusion that I would be taken care of had any problems that could possibly arise. Months later, my "Xbox one controller" became unresponsive on the left bumper. There was no physical damage. And I never dropped it. I called in for the problem and the representative lead me on to believe she understood what my problem was. I received a shipping label. Sent my controller in. And waited patiently. I never received a single status update via the Asurion website.

    Weeks and weeks later. Inconvenienced by holidays. I received my controller back. Untouched. Because THEY had filed the claim wrong. I was very upset. I eventually ended up talking to multiple employees. 5 or 6 in total and all very polite. Only ONE was able to understand and properly file my claim. Having owned the same product and experienced this malfunction before. I then sent my controller in for a second time. They had my controller for another 2 weeks. And sent it back after "Testing" claiming there was nothing wrong with it. I usually take bad reviews with a grain of salt. But Now I know that if they're about Asurion, they are probably truthful.

This is the 3rd time I had to take my phone to Sprint in the last 6 weeks because of the same issue (the phone does what it wants, texting, calling, by itself). Each and every time the tech reloads the O/S on the device (I lose some data every time, even with a backup), but the phone is manageable for a few days, then it starts back up not working.

    I purchased the insurance when I bought my iPhone 6 because what prudent person wouldn't insure something that costs so much to replace? Unfortunately I had to make a claim when my phone was damaged beyond repair. What they DO tell you when you purchase insurance: Claim Process is EASY. You receive a NEW phone. Peace of mind worth the cost.

    What they DON'T tell you when you purchase insurance: There is a minimum deductible of $99, but most pay $199. You actually do NOT receive a new phone, but at best a refurbished one with glitches and charging issues and speaker issues. There is no peace of mind with this insurance because you do not get what you pay for! I will NEVER purchase this insurance again. MY ADVICE is to purchase personal property insurance (probably cheaper anyway) from a reputable insurance provider instead.

Information had not been deleted and swiped clean. There were months of ** sites, dating sites, and ** video showing on the history, which continued even after the refurbished phone had been set up for our account. Unknowingly, Asurion failed to swipe clean prior to shipping.

I SERIOUSLY recommend checking the history for any app or program installed on these phones when you receive them. We spent HOURS on the phone trying to understand WHY these sites were continuing to load up, and it all came down to Asurion techs failing to properly clean the phone PRIOR to resale. IF it had not been for the Customer Service Manager assuring us that this was an accident and failure in their tech department, my husband would be divorced.

They have no receipt of it last time it was faxed. It was by my local home depot store. They still have not gotten it. So long story made short the extended plan is a con to spend extra money on items. So now drive right by my local home depot and pull into Lowe’s. All for 39.97 grinder. Just how smart is that.

After 3 hours of having my new phone it stopped working, I called asurion customer support and they stated they can't do anything. They sent me a pre owned messed up phone and all they can say is take it to a tech at Sprint. Terrible company that only robs you of your money and sends non working phones.

    It is in my experience that Asurion, LLC is offering a protection plan that does not cover electronic devices (specifically televisions) which were purchased under their protection plan. The sales representative at the purchasing store (Walmart) assured me that the plan covers everything, including if the device is dropped or it fails. I was told it covers everything the manufacture doesn't. Today I called to file a claim and Asurion, LLC is stating that they do not cover repairs caused by accidental damage, misuse, intentional physical damage and any product that is not listed in this plan. Interestingly enough televisions are never listed in their terms and conditions! I was sold this product under false pretenses! I am not able to file a claim to have my television replaced because they only cover power surges and they state that they cannot offer me a timely refund!

    This company is falsely advertising products that they are not able to replace or repair my device. The call center customer service was not helpful. The call center only gave me an address to write them regarding my grievance. They only apologized left and right but their apologies do not address my concerns that I now have a $500 broken device in my living room and they have my hard earned money for a protection plan that does not cover me one step of the way. Asurion, LLC does not care about their paying customers. They are taking individual's hard earned money and providing empty promises that they cannot fulfill and empty hearted apologies. Now that I want a refund they want me to write a letter and wait 6-8 weeks to get a refund! They said they had a 3 day guarantee for service. Apparently not. Save your money consumers!

    Been paying the "total equipment protection" for years through Sprint in case my WiFi internet box ever went out. Been with Sprint for almost 10 years and got the MiFi 2200 about 5 years ago. I think I've only gotten 1 replacement MiFi box since. Called Sprint and they never asked questions and didn't charge me a dime. They sent me out a MiFi 2200 right away.

    Now... 3 years later my MiFi box is going out. Didn't worry because I've got that trusty protection plan. I was redirected away from Sprint site to the Asurion website. Didn't even know what it was but when I chatted with a Sprint rep they said "yes, file claim with Asurion". After filling out the claim details Asurion wants me to drop even MORE money than I've already been paying all these years? I could have already bought the WiFi box outright with all the money I've spent paying for a useless protection plan! Sprint says I am "eligible for a replacement box". Not really eligible for anything when I pretty much am paying for the whole box when they tack on that deductible. So irritated. Goodbye protection plan and eventually goodbye Sprint. Asurion wasn't even going to send the same WiFi box. Wanted me to just take what they had to offer. No thanks and ** you.

They made me jump thru hoops to finally get a replacement phone sent to me. That took a month of calling. Then the phone they sent was defective. It would just shut off. I had to send it back the third day I had it. They never sent me another phone. I luckily had not mailed my phone back, so I kept it.

    Do yourself a favor and turn around now! I've had the worst experience with Asurion & letting everyone I know how terrible their services are. I filed a claim with this company in May of 2015 for a damaged device (I am on a family plan with T-Mobile with my father, so he is the primary account holder) and before they could speak with me, they stated they had to speak with my father first and he had to give authorization so that I could be an authorized user on the account...

    Fine whatever, I've worked in call centers, I know how it usually goes. No problem. Except, every single time I called in from that day forward, I would have to follow the same process because their employees do not know how to follow procedures and leave proper notes, so I had to bother my father every time an issue came up with this company, just to verify I'm authorized to speak with them. Besides this issue, after paying the $175 deductible... Awaiting my new phone to arrive and they sent me the wrong phone... Called them, went through hoops through their horrible automated system and waited another week... A BROKEN/DEFECTIVE PHONE... And by the third time, by golly they got it right!

    Now it is October 2015 and my purse was stolen (phone, wallet, credit cards... everything) I called them to file the claim and they tell me I have to print/sign and send them an affidavit with a photo ID attached to prove I am who I say I am. I don't have a printer and I didn't feel like jumping through all their hoops again. So to save myself some time, I went down to T-Mobile and bought myself the brand new iPhone 6s that was just released, rather than spending another $175 on the deductible just to get my old iPhone 5s. So I never went through with the claim. Never gave them any credit card information and never got another replacement phone from them.

    Now here we are, January 2016. Riding on the back of my boyfriend's motorcycle and my brand new phone flies out of my pocket on the highway, going 85mph (I have the BEST luck!) & I call Asurion to make a claim and they are not allowing me, stating I reached the maximum number of claims in one year and I am no longer insured (keep in mind I only made ONE claim in 2015. I never went through with the second claim, I ended up BUYING A NEW PHONE). After speaking with several different representatives who each told me something different, dealing with their automated systems and ending up having to send in the signed affidavit, proof of purchase and a photo ID I was ready to rip my hair out!!!

    So the next day after the incident with the motorcycle & the iPhone, I call Asurion again to get an update (they told me once I sent in needed documents, they would contact me within 2 hours)... Didn't hear from them the rest of the night and nothing the next day so I called around 4 pm with my complaints and they stated, my claim was rejected because I am no longer insured by them and to call T-Mobile. I was livid. So I called T-Mobile & the guy three way calls Asurion who informs him, when I bought my new iPhone 6s in October, my insurance changed from ASURION...TO ASSURANT! I bent backwards for these people when all they had to tell me from DAY 1, was that my insurance changed! I wouldn't wish working with these people, on my WORST enemy!!! STAY AWAY.

    When I signed up to insure my iPhone through AT&T, I had no idea it would be through a 3rd party and did not understand that a deductible for any loss or damage would be 199.00 + the monthly fee I pay for the insurance. If I had known those things when I signed up, I would have bought Apple Care. In December 2015 I accidentally broke my screen. This was 6 months into my contract so apparently the Deductible was dropped to $169, but Asurion told me that they would not replace my screen, but they would send me a "refurbished" phone within 3 days after returning my own phone. That would leave me without a phone for 3 days as my iPhone is my only phone. I called the local Apple store and for $129.00, they replaced my screen in about 1 hour.

    So, I have this worthless insurance and from the sound of it if I were to lose or break or have my phone stolen I can only receive a "refurbished" (not worth the deductible) phone and from the sound of it by all the complaints here I might not even receive an equivalent model. Bottom line... don't bother with this insurance, it's a SCAM. If you buy an iPhone - get Apple Care... it will cost you less and you will get immediate service.

    I purchased an iPhone 6S phone for my daughter on Dec 14th and purchased the insurance after a huge sales pitch from AT&T. I activated the phone on Dec 25th in the morning but unfortunately my daughter dropped the phone which cracked the screen. No problem I thought, thankfully I got the insurance... Oh boy, was I wrong. It took me a few days to finally file a claim, send out the affidavit blah, blah. Anyway, I heard nothing so after a few days I call and I am told that the claim has been denied. The reason is that even though the phone was activated and they could see toll free calls (activating the phone with AT&T) there were no billable phone calls and therefore the insurance was not valid!

    Oh my god, I almost lost it and was sure that there must be some mistake so I insisted that I speak to a manager. After much convincing they finally put me through to a manager who said that in the fine print of the contract it stated that and I should have read the fine print. I said that I did not see any fine print while in the AT&T store and no one told me anything except that I was covered as soon as I left the store. I have been back to AT&T a few times and have had no luck. All I can say, I should not have been surprised, they are after all a scummy insurance company. Buyer beware, do NOT use AT&T insurance, it's a total SCAM!

    I called Asurion to make a claim on my son's Galaxy S5 because his screen had cracked. He has been using the phone with a cracked screen for a little over 6 months, but the phone screen is now completely black and unable to use. The Claims agent asked when the incident happened and I told her the exact date in which the phone broke and I was told that because the claim was not made within 60 days that I was unable to make a claim (I was not aware of this at the time of purchasing the insurance). I talked to a second agent who told me that I was able to make a claim as long as the device I want to make a claim on has been used within the last 60 day.

    I was very disappointed with the different information that I was given and asked to speak to a Supervisor/Manager. The agent me that there wasn't one available that if I had a complaint they only accept it in writing. I was finally transferred to a Supervisor who could not help either. I told them I would take my phone to a local store and pay more to have them fixed. I was told by supervisor that they did not want to lose my business, but unfortunately there was nothing she could do. In the middle of me talking she transferred me back to AT&T. Very RUDE service by a supervisor.

    I called back again and explained the AT&T shows that the phone was last used on the 31st of December 2015. She then said she can make a claim and that it will need to be reviewed. On their recording when calling in states that if you need a phone fast to process your claim online. When I asked the lady if it would be faster to process online she said doesn't. "No, it will be the same amount of time."

I started my claim on Jan 2nd - obviously, someone does not understand what 'overnight' means. I also will be looking into other insurance options for my phone.

    When I attempted to email Asurion I received a reply that I should use the link in my original email.

This company does not have the right to be in business and anyone who allows their cell carrier to use Asurion is in for a rude awakening. Ask for other options.

    I feel lied to, manipulated and unable to do anything about this "non-insurance" company. Around October 21st 2015, I purchased the new Iphone 6s via ATT and was recommended by the vendor to take their insurance for $7/month, which would cover anything and everything that could happen to the iphone. I had never done this before, but I went with their recommendation, after they explained there was a deductible of $99, with possibility for 2 claims over a period of 12 months-... Of course much better than having to buy a whole new iphone 6s with a broken/lost/damaged one that hasn't been paid for.

    November 30th, the accident happens. I dropped the iphone in the parking lot, shattered the screen (even though fully protected with case and glass screen protector) and I call ATT. The phone company puts me through to Asurion, where they explain that I can put in a claim, I have to complete the forms and send back and I would get a new phone back quickly. I would have to send the broken phone back within 10 days or I would have a fee. I asked about the deductible and, as previously said by ATT, I was told it would be $99. I specifically asked about any surprise or hidden charges possible?? And was told no, none at all. I would see the deductible fee on my next ATT bill and simply to return the broken phone. GREAT. On that note, I will not get my own repair done of my brand new phone and go through the insurance that I pay monthly.

    A few days after all forms and internet website requirements are completed (website which requires an account passcode they never give...) I received a REFURBISHED Iphone, and not a new one as I had expected. I do everything as told to do by sending the broken phone back and on December 29th, I discover from the ATT app, that my bill is of $340!! The deductible was noted as $199 on top of my usual phone usage cost. Completely taken by surprise and thinking there is some kind of error, I call ATT who puts me through to Asurion again. I had several long holds, spoke with 3 different people, including a Universal Care Specialist in their corporate office. They all repeated the same to me that their deductible was of $199 for the first 6 months of enrollment.

    I was referred to their website, told that I had been sent an email (when they really meant a letter), which I NEVER received. I requested my initial call to be reviewed as I had been originally told by Asurion that the deductible was of $99 and had made sure for no surprises. I had been mislead, lied to and now had an unexpected amount of money. I asked that they AT LEAST consider a facilitation of payment over 2 months. All I got was "I understand it's upsetting, but that's how our deductible is, Sorry. You can call ATT and see with them." DO NOT USE ASURION for insurance. They do not assure their customers, they are not honest and misinform. They have no form of recourse to rectify their own errors and put the burden on the customer, instead of being there as the insurance paid for is supposed to do.

    I shipped the replacement device back and was told it would take 24-48 hours for my phone to be removed from the blacklist this was all on Wednesday. Friday when my phone still wasn't working I called them again to find out what the hold up was. I was told my provider needed to remove the phone from the blacklist that they had completed the process on their end. So the next day I go to Metro only to be told no my phone was still locked. Once I get home I call Asurion again only to be told by yet another useless rep that they will resubmit the request.

    I then visited another Metro store and the gentleman was very apologetic about my situation. He called the corporate offices of Metro PCS who clearly stated that the insurance company is responsible for blocking and unblocking phones that they do not nor have they ever done that. So he then called Asurion for me since by now I was unable to hold my temper back with any of their staff members. They explained that the 24-48 hours are BUSINESS HOURS. So basically 8 hrs. per day M-F. They then proceeded to hang up on the metro PCS worker.

    So again I patiently wait for my service that I am paying for to once again be of some use to me. Thursday 10 days without service I contact Asurion again and ask what is going on. They say that they will submit another request for my phone to be unlocked in 24-48 hours, then in the same sentence tell me that it is my provider which has already been established as a line of BS. So I lost my temper and demanded in a not so nice way to speak to a manager owner or someone with the power to help not just feed me a useless and forever unfulfilled promise of resolution. Who do I get? A representative for the CEO's Office. Bottom Line - they received the replacement phone back a week ago, I still have no refund, still have my phone on the blacklist and still have no end in sight to this nightmare. I really wish I had just skipped insuring my device because it has proved to be of no use. A waste of time and money!

    A few weeks back I purchased a phone device through Cricket Wireless also to include the insurance plan in case of damages. Needless to say my device was damaged, and I called Asurion claims in hopes to receive a new device. I called the customer service number provided 5 different times and spoke to 5 reps, all of which were not helpful or seemed to want to help me. They referred me to the website Phoneclaim.com and said it would be easier and it wasn't. I kept running into problems and whenever I called Asurion back, they did not seem to care about my issue and was not helpful. I still do not have a working device, and I still pay for insurance, and my bill cycle will still occur. It's a shame that certain businesses do not have quality standards when helping customers in need. I'm sure my complaint won't matter either.

    I am not happy with Asurion very professional. I called them at 7:35 am this morning and the automated computer stated that their office was closed, but on the website and even the automated service states the office is opened at 7 am Monday-Saturday. I submitted all the documentation that the reps asked me to submit and I haven't had a response or received an email to keep me updated. That's not asking for a lot. I just wish to have a working phone.

The representative told me they didn't have any more blue phones in the warehouse so I agreed to a yellow phone.

    The representative told me my phone was being sent out, so I changed to mailing address to my job, because he told me I would receive it on the 9th. When I did not, I called them. They told me they had to review my account and I will receive a email. I did not receive anything, so I called today on the 10th.

    I replaced my phone with Asurion and the phone would drop calls sometimes, but then it started to do it more often. By this time I have had my phone for about 1 month. I called Asurion and was told to take it to the local Sprint store. I took it to the Sprint store and they told the screen had a small crack on it. I told them I had not dropped my phone. In fact it had a case protector on it. They told me I had to call Asurion back.

    I called Asurion back and told them what the Sprint rep told me and they said I probably did that to my phone and since it was more than 7 days I would have to pay another $150 for the phone. By this time my phone was no longer turning on So I had to pay the $150. I got another phone. That phone started turning off at random times. I immediately called and they sent another phone. That new phone also started to turn off when the battery was at 37% and I had to be recharging the phone. I called them but it was already past the 7 days so they refused to replace it. So now I am stuck with a phone that turns off at 37%. NO. I would not recommend Asurion to anyone.

    What a joke. I broke my screen on my iPhone 6 so I called Asurion to make a claim. My friend came over after I was off the phone and told me to call a mobile service and they will come fix it for $120 instead of the $200 deductible I had to pay for a new phone. This is not a car! My brand new pickup insurance deductible is $500! Anyway, I called them right back and told them I don't need the new phone. She said she couldn't cancel because it was already processed (15 minutes prior). Yeah...geniuses I'm dealing with here. So she told me to send the new phone right back when it arrives at my house. I did.

    They received the new phone in 2 days (I didn't even open the box as I had gotten my screen fixed on my own phone) and I have been waiting since July to get my $200 back. It's December! I have called and called, and they won't figure it out. AT&T is a chicken ** too because I pay them to be my phone carrier and they will not help me either!

    My iphone 6 screen cracked and I am thinking, "Well, I have insurance, let me get my phone replaced." I understood that my monthly payment for Asurion insurance is $11 dollars with Verizon. I knew there was a copay of $100 dollars. Come to find out that Asurion raised deductible to $199.00. What the **? I have had my iphone 6 for about 10 months now. At $11 per month that is $110 dollars. Plus adding the deductible of $199, now I have paid $299 dollars. But WAIT THERE IS MORE. They want me to give them/send them my cracked phone. I am seeing cracked screen iphone 6 for sale on ebay for around $270.

    So I have paid a total of $110 in Asurion in insurance, I need to pay a deductible of $199, plus I also have to give them my iphone 6 with cracked screen with a potential value of $270 dollars. This is a WHOPPING total of: $579 DOLLARS. Its like I am buying a totally new phone again. DONT SIGN UP FOR THIS SCAM. You would be better off saving $25 to $50 dollars per month in a savings account to have a total of $300 to $600 dollars per YEAR in savings in case your cell phone breaks. Then you can go ahead and buy a new phone plus sell your cracked Iphone 6. ASURION IS A TOTAL SCAM. DONT PURCHASE THIS INSURANCE. YOU ARE BETTER OFF PUTTING SOME MONEY INTO A SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

"Are you going to replace the iPhone 5 with another iPhone 5?" Answer: Maybe. Is it refurbished? Answer: Yes. When will it be delivered? Answer: "Tomorrow between 7 am and 8 pm."

    Purchased a replacement plan for my phone via FIDO. Having no need to use it for the first year, I was unaware of how long I would wait for a phone I prepaid to have delivered the next day. With apologies, Asurion refunded my additional purchase for expedited delivery but the phone delivered was already water damaged. Consumers who are less tech-savvy may be unaware of indicators to review prior to accepting a product is in good condition. Sending the phone back, I asked for a replacement that was not water damaged. The customer service rep did not file my report or submit my claim. I called again to ensure that my phone was on the way and in three days received a new replacement phone. I returned the water-damaged replacement in the package provided and reviewed my new phone once more. The same water damage indicators were triggered.

    Calling through to file a new replacement claim, the SAME fellow from my first missed complaint yet again did not send or submit my replacement claim. After a week of waiting, I call back to inquire after my replacement phone and ensure the water damaged phones are pulled from their deliveries in case some poor unfortunate consumer receives a defective product as part of the replacement plan purchased. Now it is 10 days beyond the last call I placed, this company is unapologetic for its disregard to consumers. Terrible to think of those taken by this disgusting company.

    iPhone stolen. Called for replacement, had to stay home from work because I was initially told they only ship to homes or apartments.

Never arrived that weekend - when I called, I was told the claim was never completed. WHAT? Then changed address to work after being told I could do it by a different person.

    This time, they didn't take down the whole address. Guess what? Without a suite number, UPS WON'T DELIVER. Oh, I can go on UPS.com and update? Nope, because Asurion locks any changes to the address after shipping. My options? I could go pick it up at UPS (1+ hour away) or wait 5 days for them to send it back and RE-ORDER.

    Don't waste your money purchasing insurance for your new smartphone from Asurion... it's worthless! My family spends over $500 per month with Verizon on cell phones and services. Since we usually purchase the newest smartphones as soon as they're released, we typically purchase insurance on the devices, but we've careful with our phones and have never had to file a claim... until now.

    We purchased a Galaxy S5 for my son over a year ago and purchase insurance from Asurion at the time we got it. When it was damaged badly in an accident and needed to be replaced, I filed a claim with Asurion and thought there would be no problems (except the $149 replacement fee). Boy, was I wrong. The claim was instantly denied because they said the insurance had been transferred (how is this even possible?) to a cheap $50 flip phone that I had added to my account 6 months later as an additional line. Why would I need insurance on a $50 phone?

    How could I have transferred insurance to a completely different phone that I purchased, used and added to the account over 6 months later? I thought insurance needed to be purchased within 60 days of new phone purchase? Makes no sense and I certainly didn't move the insurance and neither did Verizon. My Verizon rep couldn't believe what Asurion was telling me (he was on the line with me as we talked to Asurion). Total fraud.

    Because spend so much monthly, Verizon arranged for me to purchase a new phone at the deeply discounted price of $149 (the same price as the insurance deductible). THANKS VERIZON! Obviously, I canceled Asurion insurance on all my phones. I should have Googled Asurion before buying insurance. Their reputation is horrible.

    It's terrible how you can religiously pay for a service but when the time comes to use said service fails to deliver. My phone was stolen, I immediately followed the procedure and filed a claim. I received a confirmation email stating that I would be getting a follow up in 24 hours. I got nothing after 38 hours at which time I proceeded to call them directly. I was then told by the customer rep that I would need to fill out an affidavit and submit various documents to proceed with the claim. Why did I have to call and dig around for to get this information? Low and behold immediately after I finished speaking with the rep I got the email stating exactly what was already explained to me (I guess it was sitting in someone's outbox and they decided to hit send).

    I submitted all the necessary documents and paid the egregious deductible of $200. Soon after, I received an update that the phone was on back-ordered and would be shipped from anywhere from 3-7 business days. Was this not the same business that advertised next day shipping?? The following day after failed attempts to obtain a loaner phone from the Sprint store (this is no longer a practice of theirs so don't waste your time) I called sprint and asked them what could be done to expedite the process. The rep, who was very pleasant, matter-or-factly said, "For a cost of $12.50 we can ship you a replacement in 48 hours". Really?? All of the sudden a phone that was allegedly on back-ordered became readily available with a few extra dollars?

    Why advertise next day shipping if you clearly cannot adhere to it? Why is this 48 hour shipping option kept a secret to those who don't inquire outright? Why do I have to pay an additional cost to expedite a service you already promise as a standard?? Between work and children it's impossible to remain disconnected for more than a few hours let alone 3-7 business days. Don't advertise a service that you clearly cannot provide. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the extra $11 a month or insure elsewhere.

I waited and after about 10 days I received (today). A form was included saying "it was not covered due to physical damage". When I removed it from the box, there is now a deep scratch on the screen and the outer frame of the screen is loose. Not only that, but it was again packed in a box too big and was not even wrapped in the foam sleeve like I shipped it in. At this time they are "investigating".

They would not tell me what happened but are basically accusing me of insurance fraud. Please note that I was never contacted by Asurion when these alleged claims were filed and they continued to take my money every month. Their actions are what is criminal here, not mine. I have been robbed monthly and was misled into believing I had coverage when all the time Asurion had no intentions of ever holding up their end of the agreement.

    Asurion & their counterpart Encompass replacements are worthless. They can't package a product to save their lives. Walmart - Jan 2012. I buy a Hoover steam cleaner & an extended 3yr warranty. Nine months later, it's leaking. Hoover allows me to take it to the nearest repair shop (an hour away) to be repaired. They repaired it no problem and I was the transportation. About 15-18 months later, it's leaking again. I have to buy my own $25 wardrobe box from the UPS store and I pack it as tight & secure as I can. Asurion gets it and fixes it. But when it arrives back, it basically had NO PACKING in the large box, which caused the bottom frame on the top side to break/crack, like someone just look a high-speed saw to it, the break was that clean.

    So I call customer service & they send me a new label to send it back. They replace the broken piece and ship it back via UPS again. And, for a 2nd time, literally no packing material again to keep it from shifting in a very large & awkward box. This time, it's broken in various places on the back. I called customer service again and demanded a refund for my purchase price. This was all last Aug/Sep 2014. I don't remember if I had to send the steam cleaner back a 3rd time or if they told me to toss, it but at least I got my purchase price back. And, when I sent them my steam cleaner, initially, I put "fragile" and "keep upright" all over the box. Asurion never wrote "fragile" on the boxes when they shipped it to me 3 times!!

    Nov 2012 - I buy a 2nd HP 8600 n911g printer from samsclub.com with a 3yr extended warranty. Within a few months, the scanner wasn't working properly by putting 3-4 white streaks down the scanned image (but not on grayscale or black & white scans). Since I had my first one that I bought, I just continued using that one & never got around to contacting HP within the 1st year for a mfr replacement/repair. So, finally, a few weeks ago, I call Sam's Club to find out who my warranty is thru. Lo & behold, it's Asurion again!! So after calling them, they don't tell me that they're not going to fix mine, but sending me a refurbished replacement. They said they'd be sending me an empty box to ship the printer to them. Not. I received a refurbished printer and it came shipped via UPS with styrofoam/air packing, but it WASN'T SECURE enough to keep it from shipping during the UPS shipment sorting & shipping process.

    So I went through the process of attempting to align the printer, but after 2 times, nothing. It was also making loud noises. My other two 8600 printers (including the one with scanning issue) never made these noises. So after calling customer service & them telling me I had to accept a replacement that wasn't working correctly, they told me I had to call Encompass, who the company who sends out the replacements, to have an exception made. When on the phone with them, I tried aligning the printhead again & it was unsuccessful a 3rd time, & then he heard it over the phone making the loud noises. So he agreed to send me another printer.

    I used the return label send with the 1st replacement so send it back the next day. I received the 2nd one 2 days later. This one was physically damaged!! Same loose packing material. It did a successful printhead alignment, but it wasn't 100%. After the "successful" alignment, the following message appeared on the display screen "scanner failure - unable to print, scan, or send a fax". There was no paperwork with the 2nd box & no return label. I found their paperwork for testing the printer jammed into the back of the paper tray; it was dated the day I called about the 1st replacement printer. The damage. Oh my god. The left panel was popped out.

    When I repacked it back into the same box yesterday, I noticed that the left bottom corner was actually broken (& I closed the box before taking a picture of the underside), which probably caused the panel to pop out. It was dropped at some point very hard to cause hard plastic to break and the panel to pop out. No wonder it can't print, scan, or fax!! I called Encompass & told them it was damaged & to not send me another replacement. They told me I had to call customer service to request a refund of my purchase price. They approved the refund, but they have to at least receive my original back (I'm still waiting on my return label & it's been like 36 hours).

    I received the return label to send the 2nd replacement back within 30 minutes of talking to Encompass. Plus, I still have to call Asurion customer service again to find out where my return label is for my original HP8600 n911g printer so that I can ship it to them & get my money back for the purchase price from samsclub.com. Ugh. I hate Asurion-->Canopy. Yeah. Change your name to disguise who you really are.

    So I ordered a new model HP 8620 printer from Amazon yesterday. I was going to get the 8630, but I don't need two paper trays, nor a higher-sitting printer. That warranty would've been through SquareTrade, which I've had great service through in repairing my sons' Nexus the last nearly two years. The warranty on the 8620 I still thought was through SquareTrade, but it was invoiced as Canopy. I had bought a Keurig K45 from Amazon two months ago and the warranty was through Canopy. I also bought a Hamilton Beach toaster from Amazon a few months prior with a warranty that was also through Canopy. So I thought Canopy must be a new respectable warranty company.

    So tonight, out of curiosity, I clicked on the warranty offered on Amazon for my HP8620 printer and it said Assurion (new name Canopy)!! Great!!! Now I have 3 more warranties through Assurion that I wanted nothing to do with as of last Aug/Sep 2014 after the whole fiasco with my Hoover steam cleaner repair. I ordered my new printer for delivery next day & I already set it up on my laptop today. Now I find out my warranty is thru Asurion/Canopy!! Just great!! Makes me want to just return it to Amazon & get the 8630 instead with a SquareTrade warranty or go buy a 8620 somewhere else that offers Square Trade. Ugh.

Took it to AT&T just to make sure it wasn't something I was doing. They verified it was broken and were surprised Asurion sent out a broken phone. Called Asurion, they apologized, told me to keep that phone and send it back when the next one arrived. It came 2 days later. It also was BROKEN! Bad speaker! I'm replacing a 2 month old, practically new iPhone 5s with junk refurbished phone that I pay a monthly insurance policy fee on, plus $200 prorated fee! What?!

    So, I call again and tell them I received yet ANOTHER BROKEN PHONE! They apologized, told me to box them both up, along with my original broken phone and when they saw the tracking number of their furnished return labels in the system they would ship out a third phone. I had post office scan them in while I waited. Called Asurion. They couldn't see them as scanned in. Days later, a week later, still can't track them! Turns out those return labels are for slower-than-snail-mail media mail and it could take 6-8 weeks to get them back! And the person now tells me that they cannot send a 3rd phone out to me since I "already have two", until they get those back! UGH!

    So, I have NO PHONE, still paying monthly warranty, had to argue to get replacement copay $200 off my bill since I have no phone! And I wait, and wait and wait! Asurion told me two different stories regarding getting that 3rd phone. Had I been told upfront that they wouldn't send out a 3rd phone without receiving the others back I would have paid for 2 day priority shipping myself! They hardly weigh anything, wouldn't have cost much! The straight story up front please! Oh, and I can't fail to mention the degrading way they talk to me like I'm some kind of a scammer because I "have 2 of their phones"! They don't seem to care that they send out JUNK to people who are paying good money for warranty plans and prorated fees! The saga continues, but for now, I have NO PHONE!

    Nov 7 my phone received water damage. Nov 8 I filed a claim. I went faxed them 2 pieces of documentation & they kept telling me to wait 3 hours to call back. I waited and process ran smooth. Received phone on Nov 10. The phone will not connect to my provider. I take it to MetroPCS & they get me on the phone with Asurion. They basically tell me it could take anywhere from 24-48 hours. I'm now on day 4 with no phone. Asurion won't do anything besides tell me it will be 24-48 hours. The guy at the Metro store says he thinks the phone was "blacklisted" in the warehouse, so it would be unusable or stolen. But then some moron didn't do his job and I received a blacklisted phone. So now I've paid my $70 phone bill and my stupid insurance just to lose 4 days. And after paying my deductible I could have spent another $20 and just gotten a new phone and avoided all of this.

    When I purchased my phone, Verizon told me the deductible was $149. When I told Verizon my phone was stolen, Verizon again told me the deductible was $149. When I called Asurion, they told be the deductible was $199. I filed a claim with accurate details. After several email and telephone interactions, they sent the wrong phone. When I called Asurion and asked to speak to a senior representative, the only thing that "Phyllis" could say was "Sorry, that is human error. I am sure that you make mistakes too." When I asked that she cease being condescending and just provide me her identification information so that I could file a complaint, she continued talking, blaming me for failing to sympathize with Asurion. Her rudeness and unprofessionalism is indicative of the kind of poor customer service that one can expect from Asurion. Hence, when it comes to Asurion, buyer beware.

    I filed a claim in July to get a new phone through Asurion. They promptly sent me a new phone and was delivered the next day. After a month, my phone started glitching and not working properly. I had to then send the new phone they gave me back to them and receive another new phone from them. They sent me a new phone right before I had to take a two month travel overseas. The new phone they gave me STILL didn't work properly. The battery died after an hour of plugging it in. I sucked it up for a while and just had to live with carrying a charger with me everywhere I go until it was convenient for me to send it back. I decided to go through Verizon the third time because I was fed up with getting faulty phones. Verizon was great and gave me a brand new phone for almost no cost at all.

    I called Asurion to get my 150 bucks back that I put down to get my phone, they would not reimburse me due to me not letting them know after 7 days that my new phone wasn't working again. I called the supervisor and she said, "Well why didn't you just go through us again and get a replacement phone? You wouldn't have this problem." She said. I told her, "Why would I go through a company A THIRD TIME when the service was poor?" I pay 22 bucks a month to have them as my insurance company. Well, not anymore. They essentially ripped me off of 150 bucks when I never got a working phone from them in the months I was using them. I have never been so livid with customer service in my entire life. Why wouldn't you just want to make the customer happy and reimburse them? I'm not a unreasonable person. NEVER AGAIN ASURION.

    The claim process is lengthy and tedious. Fill out an online form, followed by filling out a printed affidavit, emailing the affidavit back, waiting for a confirmation email, then clicking on that link that brings you to another online page where you enter your information for your deductible to get paid. Here is the problem... if all of those steps go smoothly? You still are frustrated by the time they are completed. Even more frustrating is when the final step gives you a message that they are experiencing a problem and to call customer service... Where you will be treated to a lengthy wait period. I gave up!

It would have been much reasonable to replace the screen at the local store. No one tells you that your phone is refurbished when submitting the claim. There is no NEW device that you receiving for 14 dollars a month stick with Apple. Plus if you lose the phone get a new one instead 200 and refur problem.

    One evening my daughter loses her brand new iPhone 6. She didn't have it a month. We called to make a claim. Explained to the operator several times that it was an iPhone 6 and that it was my daughter's phone. She even talked to them about it. They told us it would arrive on Tuesday, it was a Sunday. On Tuesday morning I attempt to call my doctor. I have no service. I have to call Sprint. They say that my phone had been reported stolen and therefore shut off. How is that possible? My daughter's iPhone 6 was the lost item not my Galaxy 6. Talked to Asurion... the nightmare begins. No one could turn my phone back on, after explaining that my phone was not lost. Asurion kept saying Sprint had to do it and Sprint said Asurion had to do it. I was then told that I had to wait 24 hours for it to be released.

    After talking to numerous people (Sprint & Asurion) I waited the 24 hours. In the meantime, sitting on my dining room table is a replacement Galaxy 6. I don't want it. My original phone is still not on. Another claim has to be opened for my daughter's phone. It is to take another 3 days, but the phones are on back order. It is not guaranteed that she would be included in the next shipment. Now we have no idea when she will be getting a replacement phone. Several reps trying blame me for not making the correct claim. I explained that when I spoke with their rep, I told them it was an iPhone 6, never said anything about a Galaxy 6. They try to say that it was because of the number I gave them. Duh! I am the main person on the account, therefore in order to access my daughter's info, the rep must go through my number. This company has attempted to blame for many things.

    Another day and several hours on the phone with Asurion and Sprint, too many damn hours! I still have no phone. I am disabled Vet suffering from anxiety and PTSD. I must have my phone at all times to remain in contact with medical and my sister (who aids me in trying times). Asurion doesn't care. Now they have to email someone to get my phone released, they say wait another 5 hours. When I call back in 5.5 hours, no one knows about any email. My anxiety is out the door! Mind you I have maintained my cool and refrained from cursing up a storm. Still no phone! On day 3, still with no phone, I decided to turn on the Galaxy 6 sitting on the dining room table. Lo and behold the dang thing has service. First person I call.... my sister. But by day 4 my son's phone is off. What the heck?! Our Sprint service is a family package. Our service is off because I have exceeded my spending limit of $450. I didn't even know one existed.

    Asurion has charged me for 2/$200 deductibles. It takes some time, but Sprint turns my service back on. I talk to several other Asurion reps and finally get one that understands. She credits my account $400. I was content for the moment. My daughter was still without a phone. I didn't want this replacement phone. I wanted the one that I walked out of the Sprint store with. It was nice to talk to someone with concern. The next day I go to the Sprint store to get my numbers transferred to the replacement phone. Have them look at the billing and it shows a $400 credit. What a relief, it went through. I attempt to have my original phone turned back on. Again Asurion says Sprint has to turn it back and vice versa. Still have to use replacement phone, a total nuisance.

    When the Sprint rep calls Asurion and conference call with the three of us, he is amazed and surprised at the disservice. The rep was rude and useless. It was then that I started to curse like a sailor. They had hit my breaking point. I am physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted. I can no longer argue with these people. I can no longer listen to one person say one thing and another say something totally different. I even asked the reps if they worked for the same company, with hesitation the say they do. This pain and suffering for a service that I am paying for. I have A phone, my daughter finally gets hers. I am content.

    The story doesn't end there. My phone service gets turned off again. I have exceeded my spending limit again. Asurion has removed the $400 credit. I again owe $400. What the heck! When I talked to the rep for Asurion he rudely stated "I would never the credit." That was after talking to another rep who stated that it would take 1-2 billing cycles for the credit to appear. This is all happens during week two. At some point after I finally get an Asurion rep who decides to release my original phone. Again after talking to several Asurion reps for several hours, which stated I had to return the phone that was sent to me. Some said it had to show it was in route. Others said that it had to be in their warehouse. They don't know what the heck they need. One common factor was that they were willing to leave me with no phone. That wasn't an option.

    The nice Asurion rep releases my original phone; of course she made it sound like she was doing me a favor. Yahoo! I have my original phone back. The nightmare is not over. I am still being charged for two deductibles. I explain to Sprint that this is their fault because they are contracted with such an ill company. I tried to get my original $400 credit back, to no avail. The best I could out of Sprint was $230 credit. At least that was enough to cover my daughter's cost. I dropped off that replacement phone in the mailbox, my second mistake (first was getting insurance) was I didn't get it certified. It should have arrived by now, but it hasn't.

    Sprint is giving the phone to arrive by November 11, 2015. Let's see what happens. In the meantime, I am going to see about other resources to replace my phones. I am going to start up a savings account just for phone replacements or repairs. I have no desire to ever deal with Asurion again. It is not worth the heartache, stress and anxiety. This company needs to be put out of business.

    I try not to write negative posts but after dealing with Asurion yesterday I have to. In March 2015 I did a phone replacement with them and received a replacement phone that did not work and they were helpful in sending another replacement phone. Unfortunately in October my daughter dropped her phone and cracked the screen so we had to do another replacement. Paid the $150.00 charge for a used phone and again received a phone that did not work on 27 October 2015. Ran to Apple and the AT&T store on 29 October and was told the phone should have never been sent out so I called that day for a replacement phone for the replacement phone we received. "No problem", they said and it would be sent out the next day. This was after several hours of run-around so I was relieved I was done with this issue.

    On 6 November 2105 I called to find out where the phone was and was told the person never completed the order. Went through the chain of events and was told it was taken care of and would be shipped and I asked to speak to a supervisor. I was disconnected. Promptly called back, told my story again and found out the person I had just spoken to hadn't completed the order either, the gentleman who helped me this time was very nice; but, I asked to speak to a supervisor. Told the supervisor the drama and asked why and how employees were not held responsible for not completing their jobs and with all the time and effort I had to put into getting a replacement phone for a defective phone they sent me what could she do. I would have been happy with a pair of headphones and in her rude tone of the whole that they had nothing to do with compensation or problems since it was all AT&T's fault.

    Called AT&T and again told the story and was told any problems with warranty was all Asurion and they had nothing to do with. The gentleman at AT&T spent 40 min trying to get a supervisor at Asurion and when he did and patched me through I got more were really busy and basically it's not our fault that our employees don't do their job; but, we will send you the replacement out.

    To get a replacement phone for the replacement phone that I had to pay $150.00 for I have spent over six hours on the phone with Asurion and they acted like they were doing something wonderful to send out a phone for the broken one they sent and really did something over the top by saying they will send me a $50.00 gift card. Only time will tell if they actually send the gift card and I know I'm not holding my breath. Going to start checking with other cell phone carriers to see who does their warranty and will drop AT&T if they don't use this company. Wish negative stars were available because I would go below zero on this one.

    I filed a claim for a replacement phone. The agent didn't include the apt.# so UPS wasn't able to deliver. I contacted UPS. They made a note of the apt # and scheduled for delivery the next business day. I never received the package again because of the apt #. I contacted Asurion and spoke to an agent. He canceled the first replacement and shipped out another phone. I asked the agent to repeat the address back to me so I can be sure I would receive my replacement. Well I never received the replacement. The agent had everything correct except the city. I don't understand how you send a package to another city after asking the agent to repeat the correct address.

    I called and canceled the phone after numerous times calling UPS and Asurion and requested a refund back to my credit card. I was told I would receive a refund in one transaction. As of today I have no refund. I talked to a supervisor and was told 3 to 5 business days. I told her that's unacceptable - it didn't take 3 to 5 business days to take the money. I was directed to an agent in the office of the CEO and was told 5 to 7 business days. My money has to go thru 2 banks and that it depends on my bank how long it would take to post my refund. Once my banking institution gets a charge back it goes directly to my account.

    My complaint for Asurion is terrible customer service reps who all tell the consumer something different which is misleading and false. They should all give the same information to the consumer. Secondly, they should practice repeating the information given to them by the consumer. Thirdly, as fast as you take Money from a consumers bank account it should be returned the same way. It should not take 3 to 5, or 5 to 7 business days. Which is it. Who do you believe when every customer service rep tells you something different.

    They are extremely rude to work with. If I am paying that much, I also expect a new phone and not refurbished. I then worried because the first broken phone needs to be returned within 10 days. Still trying to get info off of it etc (I was out of town the first 7 days) so needed more time. They were "sure, you actually have until Dec 20th (2 months), not 10 days. We just tell you 10 days to get them back sooner." Well that is not very nice! They think they are doing you a favor and a deductible of $150 is nothing because "it is a $600 phone". BS again.

Since the phone was stolen I didn't have to return anything. Since then I got a Samsung galaxy note 4. During August my phone was stolen again. I was about to file a claim but they said that they would cancel my insurance so I decided not to. Luckily the phone was returned. (I used the Samsung tracking device and made it ring a lot.)

I was told that if I filed a warranty claim, I would receive a new phone overnight. But, if Samsung determined it was a warranty issue, I would pay $350++ for the new phone. It was suggested (primarily by Verizon) that I make a claim with Asurion, pay the $99 and that would be easier/safer. So that is what I did. The process was smooth and that was it.

    Just recently, I dropped my phone into my swimming pool which ruined it and put in another claim with Asurion. Got new phone overnight and again, things seemed smooth. HOWEVER, I then got a notice from Asurion that my insurance was canceled due to 2 claims in one year. They also told me that the info I had received about a possible warranty claim was incorrect. Ridiculous to pay for insurance and then have it cancelled if you use it!! Bottom line is that you are much better not paying insurance and buying a spare phone via eBay - will be cheaper all around.

    I cannot believe that the US government allows a company to operate like this. This company's scheme is beyond unacceptable. It is a scam. Take premiums each month. Take a deductible $200. Send a broken refurbished phone with half of the touch screen not working. I touch #1 and #9 or whatever other number is pressed.

    3 times I had to send iPad and 3rd time they sent it back stating it was not covered. Please beware when you purchase from Sam's Club. They tell you everything is covered in warranty. Screen was cracked. I barely could see the Crack. Apps went wacky. Sent in iPad. They sent it back stating that it was not covered when I purchased warranty. I was told everything was covered. Beware when you purchase warranty.

    We too paid for insurance on a smartphone for my spouse knowing the high risk of damage he could do with it provided his work environment. $10/month, 1 year later we filed a claim for a damaged phone. Paid the $99 deductible (surprised to us - should have read agreement terms). As a VZW customer they made it sound like insurance was the best thing since sliced bread; they did not provide full disclosure of the policy or highlighted subsequent charges if a claim was filed. Poor customer service at Retail Store.

    Back to Asurion. $10/month, $99 deductible, received a REFURBISHED phone, Droid Mini; then were charged a month later for $75 because we didn't return the damaged device within 15 days. WHAT- we couldn't even get the phone to work to remove personal information and pictures... What a rip-off. DON'T BUY phone insurance. I'm sure we could have found replacement phone on Amazon or Ebay for much cheaper. Especially since the first phone was free with an upgrade and renewed contract!

    Jan 2015 I had a Samsung 3 phone, they sent me a Fusion, I sent it back for credit and bought me a Samsung 5, never received refund or credit. Asurion is just a ** down right rip off. They overcharge you, I paid 659 for 1 phone and 700 and something for iPhone. Glass burst on both. What can I do for replacement?

    Bought a phone for about $700. Speaker broke in drop accident, they replaced it with a cheap one. They didn't have what I had, a waterproof Active 5. Now they are saying too much time passed but they never had that one and still don't. I paid insurance and am still paying for the 1st one through at&t installments plan. I don't think it good business. I bought what I wanted and was replaced with something else that I still have to pay for and sent them back the Active 5. I feel like I have been ripped off by Asurion and At&t called them with me on the line. Management says "too late, past the date" but they still don't have it in stock.

    I am a loyal Verizon customer and have been since 1999. I pay my bills on time and they are not measly amounts by any means. The 3 phones we have are insured through Asurion and I have not had a problem with the replacement of a broken phone after I pay the 150.00, until NOW. The phone Asurion sent was defective. At first the phone didn't hold a charge for more than an hour and now it does not hold a charge for more than 10 mins. I called Asurion and after my 3rd attempt, got through to "Nicole". She had a bad attitude from the get go. She is in the WRONG business. She told me that before replacing this phone that I had to "monitor it" for 24 hours and then call back. What? Why? It hasn't worked properly since last August! Is it miraculously going to begin working correctly?! I will call back tomorrow. Stay tuned! She never gave me an order number either.

    I have had the WORST time trying to use my insurance with Asurion. I literally sent in 12 different claims because no one would help me do it correctly. Every time it got declined, I would get another bit of information to actually make the claim right. What is the point in having insurance if you can't even get a phone to replace your stolen device? It's caused more stress and irritation than going out and spending a couple hundred more to get a new one. I will never use this service again and I'm sure canceling my ** insurance here.
