    I was able to return to the warranty replacement process after putting my initial call on stand by for 2 weeks. I submitted my replacement request on a Friday morning, and was told the phone would ship on Monday. Not only did the phone ship the day I called (Friday) but I received the replacement phone by Monday at noon. Excellent customer service, which is a better story than previous experiences with warranty companies. Thank you for solving our problem quickly and with excellent customer service.

    I dropped my phone and went to T-Mobile to replace it and they told me to contact Assurant too and replace it for $100 vs. a new $600 phone! The person on the phone was easy to talk to and once the phone came everything was easy to follow instruction wise. I was very happy with my results and business with Assurant.

Customer Call Center was very understanding, showed empathy, and provided all the information I needed. By Tuesday in the evening I was already having fun with my new phone.

    I filled a claim for an iPhone 6 Plus that started to have issues with the screen. It would randomly call numbers, text and open up apps and I was at one point not able to make or answer calls or reply to open or and any messages. I had this phone repaired for the same issue and Apple repaired the screen. I was told at the time that this was a manufacture defect for this model iPhone. The associate told me if it happens again to file a claim and tort should replace the device. Well as I stated earlier the claim was filed and I had to wait 4 days no expedited shipping was offered from your company. Once I received it not even a week but 4 days the phone that they sent to replace my had the exact same issue!!! UNACCEPTABLE because I was charged $100 and your company sent me broken phone with the same issue.

    My device has been paid off and I pay the insurance on my device. As a company that provides replacement devices why isn’t there process to test these phones before you place them on a shelf to send out to clients. This is such a misrepresentation of customer service. Why are you continuing to recycle out devices that you are clearly aware have a manufacture default. Your company is clearly misleading consumers. I had to call T-Mobile to report the issue and wait another 4 days to get this device replaced and I also had to pay a warranty fee that should have come from the $100 that I paid. I am writing a formal complaint to your corporate headquarters as well as the Better Business Bureau. Your company needs to take responsibility for such neglect.

    I am not a fan of Assurant. I ordered a replacement phone and was promised overnight shipping. 4 days later I call to ask where my phone was and was met with the equivalent of an "oops" with another promise of overnight shipping. 4 days after that I'm typing a 1 star review for them on my "overnighted" phone that took 8 days to get to me. This isn't my first horrible experience with this company, it's just the first time I've written a review. For a $250 "deductible" you'd think that they could at least follow through even slightly on a delivery of services rendered. No such luck. Believe me though, if I were a day late returning my damaged device, they would have immediately charged me a ridiculous amount of money! Too bad that doesn't work the other way around!

    I cracked my phone screen after dropping it in a parking lot. Within an hour my claim and payment were processed, and a new phone was on the way. It was at my door in about 24 hours. The live operator with Assurant was wonderful, though their initial phone system was very lacking. The computer system used to sort my call (take basic information like phone, email, details about incident, etc.) could not understand human speech and after repeating myself, the understanding was even worse. This was the only frustrating part of the entire process. Otherwise, I recommend their insurance and service.

    I was told by Spectrum to call them. The man who answered told me I didn't have insurance on the phone and I was trying to scam them and told me to return the new device when in fact I did have insurance. I was on phone over two days a total of seven hours and Assurant sent me the wrong phone and would not call Spectrum so the Spectrum rep did finally do a three way call and I was told to keep the wrong device and sent the damaged one which was a cheaper iPhone x. This was by far the rudest service I had received.

    My son went swimming with friends and didn't remember to remove his phone from his pocket prior to jumping into the pool. The phone was submerged for several minutes prior to my son realizing why one pocket of his swim trunks was heavier than the other. The phone cover was removed and the phone was put into uncooked rice to try and pull the liquid out, to no avail, then phone wouldn't even turn on. I contacted my cell provider, they gave me the web address to file my claim. I filed my claim online, paid the deductible, the new phone arrived in 24 hours. I sent the waterlogged phone back to them with the prepaid, addressed envelop they provided. Easy, fast, no hassle.

    Please know that you are insuring the phone line, not the phone you are purchasing. My son broke is new iphone XS; I found out when he came home from college. In the interim he was using an old phone. I tried to file a claim - at first I was not certain when the incident occurred. I assumed it was recent so I guessed at a date. 5 days later I received an email that they had denied the claim. I spoke to my son about it and found that he had broken his phone on April 6th. So I phoned the representative back the day after my original claim was denied with the correct date. I was told that I only had 90 days to make a claim. I was 10 days over. Why would I put insurance on a phone line and not a specific phone. Buyer beware. I not only did not get the service but I found out that I have been paying for insurance on a way old iPhone instead of the brand new XS I had purchased.

    Called Assurant after dropping my new cell in the driveway. A few questions, deductible paid, and my new phone was on the way. They ship quick and secure. Your local store location can help you get your new phone set up if need be. I called back again, to verify all they needed returned to them was my broken phone in the prepaid envelope they sent me. Both phone reps were very friendly and made the experience as pleasant as possible. Never want to break your phone, but hopefully you'll receive the same service I did from Assurant.

    Assurant declined to honor my phone insurance and will not tell me why. My son lost his phone more than two weeks ago and all they say we can do is write them a letter. This is crazy. Customer service says it was declined by corporate because of a "conflict". What conflict? I have paid for phone insurance on all my phones for the eleven years I have been a T-mobile customer. They have very happily taken my premiums but now are refusing to honor the policy. There is no possible reason for them to decline this policy and I believe this is why they are refusing to inform me what the alleged "conflict" is. My next step is to file a lawsuit for fraud and bad faith. I am going to make sure they don't rip off anyone else in this manner.

    I recently lost my phone and have been calling my insurance back and forth for almost a month. They made me jump through all sorts of hoops and when they finally sent me a new phone it wasn't even the right phone. It then comes out that they no longer have my phone in stock so they sent me then next thing they had laying around.

    In all of my weekly conversations never once was it discussed that they wouldn't have my phone in stock, nor was I informed I would receive something else, let alone given any kind of options as to what kind of phone I would like. It cost me $150 on top of the amount I pay just to have the insurance for a phone that costs less on the marketplace. T-mobile wouldn't even let me exchange it for more than $45. On top of all that, T-mobile doesn't even give me service for the new phone in my area so the replacement is essentially useless. I feel I have essentially been robbed.

    The customer service was awful. It seemed no one ever wanted to listen to my concerns and instead kept repeating whatever script they had in front of them. At one point I had to get my father on the line and the insurance lady rushed us off because it seemed she no longer wanted to deal with the call. When I spoke to T-mobile about my situation I was told I would need to buy the newest phone on the market in order to receive full service coverage, which would cost me nearly $1000. Not only am I returning the phone for a full refund, I will be cancelling my insurance and T-mobile has likely lost me as a customer.

    I was devastated when my phone simply stopped working or taking a charge. I called Assurant, and was told to expect a new phone within 24 hrs. They upgraded my phone from LGX Power 2 to a LGK30 with increased storage space. I took the phone to the Xfinity store, as the phone would not come on to allow me to extract my data.

    I pay 15.00 a month for this cellphone insurance. I have for years for several different phones. Not one time have I ever filed a claim. The one time that I do, "its under review". And I'm stuck waiting. My phone was stolen from my bag at a theme park I started my claim on 07/02/2019. It's been close to two weeks and it's "under review". In the meantime I'm using an old phone and keep getting the runaround from customer service. Going forward I will find a third party company instead of getting the insurance through T-Mobile. It's a scam and as a customer I feel cheated.

So how can I trust that the “new” device will even work? Are we gonna have to do this again?‬ ‪It’s not even so much about being phone less, but on the reason for it.

    I have been paying $8.00 per month on coverage for my phone since I bought it. My phone display was severely damaged and at the time I did not have money for the deductible. I continued paying the insurance and recently filed a claim. My claim was denied and the reason given was that my device was not covered during the loss date. I have been paying for phone insurance since I got the device and the amount I have wasted could have bought a phone replacement. I am reconsidering staying with T-Mobile for a fourth year because of this. I am wasting over $100 dollars a month on mediocre phone service and insurance service that gladly takes your money every month but will not replace your phone when it is broken and you need to use the service.

When I called Assurant, the first person said that, as soon as I ship the broken replacement device, they will send me a new device. When I shipped it called them on the next day, a different customer service person said that they will only ship after they RECEIVE the device. Every time a different customer service rep tells you a different thing. And finally when the device got delivered, they again took 3-4 days to send out the device.

    Assurant sent me a phone that had a crack in it and was not noticeable until you were on a white space. Hence, did not notice the crack until after the 7 days that you have to send it back. The crack got worse. I called to tell them and unfortunately it is past the 7 days and they would send us out a new one if we pay another $99 for something that was not our fault. I am so disappointed in this company and am so upset that we are stuck with this company since that is the company that T-Mobile uses.

    Assurant sent me a replacement phone that didn't work. They told me the only way they would send me another one is if I would file another claim and pay another $100. I was without a phone for 4 days until I contact T-mobile at one of their stores and they took care of everything. They verified the phone Assurant sent was defective and they had me a replacement phone the next day with no paperwork and no cost. They even inspected and tested the phone before I picked it up. This is why I've been with T-mobile for 23 years straight and this is also the reason I won't be using Assurant anymore.

    We switched from Verizon to T-Mobile about 8 months ago (November 2018) because of the wonderful military plan they offer. On June 10th my daughter's phone malfunctioned. I took it to the T-mobile store the next day. T-mobile rep couldn't get the phone to power up and since we had purchased Bring Your Own Device insurance on her Verizon Moto Z Force phone, they instructed me to file a claim. I called from the parking lot. The lady I spoke with took the info, but later that afternoon I received an email stating the claim had been received.... for a Nokia Zine. Ugh. So I called the next day, and they supposedly updated the make/model. Got an email saying the claim for the Moto Zine was declined. Double ugh. Called again and explained it was a Moto Z Force, by Verizon. They wanted the IMEI number. The phone was dead, so I called T-mobile for that info. Called them back with the IMEI.

    Thought all was good. Got an email saying my claim for some other model Moto was being processed. Can they get any more incompetent? Went to the T-mobile store (again). Got Assurant on the phone and the T-mobile rep spoke directly to them and explained what model it was. He also managed to get the phone to power up briefly, so I was able to verify that the IMEI number on record was correct. The claim got approved (finally). Received the replacement on June 14th. Used the package and shipping label provided and mailed the old phone the next day. According to USPS tracking, it arrived June 19th, at 12:40pm.

    On July 8th I received a letter dated July 1, saying Assurant had not yet received my return. Ugh^4. I immediately contacted Assurant and they looked at the tracking info. The rep saw that the package had reached the warehouse, so I was placed on hold while she contacted them. She informed me that the IMEI the warehouse worker scanned did not match the one associated with the claim. I told her that simply wasn't possible. I know the number was correct, and I certainly shipped the right phone. She insisted it wasn't, and informed me I would be charged full replacement cost. I inquired about the allegedly "incorrect" phone, and she said that it would have been refurbished and sent out.

    Let's stop right here. That's theft. If (big IF) it somehow was magically the wrong phone, why wasn't I immediately contacted? Why didn't they send it back to me, explaining why they wouldn't be able to process the claim? Why didn't they set it aside as evidence that I'd allegedly sent the wrong phone? If they are going to charge for the replacement (and fail to honor the insurance contract), what right do they have to steal a phone from a 12 year old child?

    I contacted T-mobile immediately after and explained the situation. The lady I spoke with was sympathetic. I assume from other reviews and the overall reputation of this fraudulently company, that this happens often. I'll find out tomorrow (July 9) whether t-mobile will have any more success than I did. Regardless of outcome, I will be cancelling coverage for all three phones on our plan, and going with SquareTrade for our future insurance needs. A report to my State Attorney General's office may well be in order. If Assurant succeeds in ripping me off, they will have banked 8 months of premiums, a child's phone, and will have stolen an additional $700 from the family of an active duty airman who is currently deployed. Stay away. Stay far, far away from these conmen and thieves.

    1- Had to call them to finish the online request to replace my phone (broken screen). 2- Phone arrived in poor condition -- charge port didn't work and GPS defective, which is discovered while on the road for vacation. 3- My broken phone was mailed back to them before I knew this. 4- Their response was for me to send their replacement phone back to them and once it's in transit, they'll send me another replacement - MEANING no phone until new one arrives and I lose data that's not on my SD card because I don't have the phone to transfer data.

    I begged and pleaded for them to find another way even though they were rude and lacked any care of the issue. I asked them to charge my T-Mobile account for the phone (they can't do it) or even better -- charge my personal credit card (they can't do it). Excuse after excuse for a baseless policy... The resolution came from T-mobile. They replaced under the warranty for the new phone. Once we returned from vacation, the new phone was waiting at the local store. NO THANKS TO ASSURANT!

    Oddly. They sent me an email thanking me for choosing them. I didn't. I don't have an option for other insurance through T-Mobile. On top of that, my deductible for the phone was too high considering I've never had a claim in 12 years. Then they sent me a broken phone. Then when I tried to get it fixed through them, because they're the ones who sent the broken phone, they sent me back to T-Mobile. I've been without a working phone for two weeks because of their terrible service. Let's see. 10 years * 12 months * $15= 1800. Then they charge a deductible. Then send a broken old device.

    Lost my phone and called my mobile carrier to get everything situated with insurance. Had to pay $249 for insurance on a lost phone. I received it quickly, which was nice, but as soon as I turned it on and got it going it was overheating. It got so hot I couldnt even hold it. I thought maybe it was just because I was downloading a lot and didnt think about it again. Put my Otterbox on and while charging it another day my case was super hot. Unplugged it and immediately called my mobile carrier and had it replaced. Just a pain to have to set everything up yet again and try not to use the phone they just sent me. That phone should've never made it past the QA department and to a customer. I've had other experiences with this company that were not bad at all, but this particular review and rating is based on my most recent.

    My tablet, phone, and laptop got lost, it was frustrating to lose all devices, however I thought since I had insurance on all the devices it shouldn't be such a pain to recover all. My phone and tablet was insured through Assurant (T-Mobile). I went to the store and the sales representative called the insurance company, and the customer care specialist said I had to pay $398 to get both the phone and tablet, I was to pay for it after 2 days and the tablet came in the next day, I was really excited at the speed of delivery, so I thought maybe the phone will be delivered in 2 days as the customer care specialist indicated.

    After 3 days I became really worried that the phone had not arrived, so I called and they stated that the phone was back ordered. I was annoyed, why was I given this this information when I made payment. However, I decided to wait for the phone, after a few day a customer care specialist contacted my mum (who I listed as an alternate contact) and stated that I have to get a new phone because they don't have my phone in stock. What I am still trying to understand is the purpose of have insurance when I have to pay $250 for the phone and still buy a new phone for $900 (which I did not budget for).

    I called customer care to tell them that I don't have the money to buy a new phone and I need a phone, the arrogant lady just said there is no5 she can do about it and I asked if I can speak to her manager, she just hung up on me. So now it's been two weeks and no phone. So please tell me again, what is the point of using Assurant to insure my phone. Very horrible service.

    I had my phone stolen from my workplace and realized it quickly enough to get to my T-Mobile store within 2 hours. My first claim, which took over an hour at the store, appeared to go well and I was told I would hear from Assurant within 24 hours. I had Protection 360 on the phone, but still had to pay a "deductible" whack of $149, which I reluctantly paid. 24 hours later, denied. I got online, then on the phone with T-Mobile right away. Another hour and a 3 way call with T-Mobile and an Assurant supervisor, and this time, I am told it is "good to go", except for the "usual 24 hour delay". One day later... denied. No explanation.

    Off to the T-Mobile store, again. Two workers, and the store manager, try to get me some assistance. After a lot of haggling, I am getting a lesser phone but I need the iPhone and am told it will be sent to my brother in law's because I am due to travel there imminently. (I have to cancel the trip and my brother in law sends it back to me, which I eventually get.) For my $149 deductible, I get a crappy refurbished phone. And then (T-Mobile's fault) my attempt to upgrade back to what I lost is fruitless and I am stuck with an inferior phone. The long and short of it? I pay insurance religiously. I pay a large deductible. I get a lousy refurbished phone I cannot EVEN trade in for an upgrade. I AM JUST THRILLED WITH ASSURANT... NOT.

    Such awful customer service. I have been a customer of T-Mobile for many years. I am paying $15/month for their premium insurance. This insurance was sold to me because it included water damage. I filed my claim on 7/1 online. All paperwork was accepted and received by 1:00pm. I called later in the day to check on it and was told first that they needed information from T-Mobile before they could proceed. I called T-Mobile to try and expedite the matter and did a 3-way call with T-Mobile and Assurant. I was then told that my claim would be approved in 24 hours and I would have phone by 7/3. For some reason I am unable to get info on their website and get a message that they are doing system maintenance. So I went online and did a chat with a rep who again told me 24 hours and phone would be sent to me. They confirmed the type of phone I would be receiving.

    It is early evening and I have not received an email confirmation, so I called Assurant. I was told by the first rep that she had to complete more paperwork for me, but it would be 24 hours. I explained to her I was told that yesterday. I have verified and reverified all my information. I was on hold for 30 min and the call was disconnected. I called back AGAIN and was told, "I'm sorry, we have to wait for 24hours". I spoke to a supervisor who told me they have all my paperwork and she isn't sure why they claims department is taking so long but nothing she can do. Because Thursday is a holiday, I likely won't have my phone until Friday at the earliest and that's if they actually process my paperwork. As of now it's in limbo and no one can do anything about it.

    This is by far the worst insurance company for cell phones. I had one of my multiple cell phones lost and they really make it hard to process your claim and get a phone out there. No wonder they have a horrible rating. Cell phone companies should let you pick and choose your insurance carrier, not monopolize you to one: specially this one that's not only the most expensive and has the highest deductibles but is the worst when processing your claim. When taking your month payment it's great but when processing a claim: sit tight!!! Not an enjoyable ride. ***Warning*** Not worth it & very disappointing.

    Assurant is the only insurance provider available to me & their bill is paid through my cell phone provider bill (T-Mobile).

I filed a claim that day, and Assurant sent me the INCORRECT (much older) device as a replacement. I notified them of their error, and they said they would file a new claim for the correct device but would need to review the claim for an additional 3-5 days due to the error. No problem. I followed up with a manager to ensure they noted the account of Assurant's error and requested the claim be escalated. He said he would do that.

    After 4 days, the claim was denied and stated that I did not have insurance at the time of the claim, so I notified T-Mobile and Assurant who both verified that I did have insurance at the time of the claim. Assurant is now telling me that the only way to dispute their decision is in writing - via regular mail. They clearly did not read the notes on the account, nor do their due diligence to process the correct claim and I am beyond frustrated & disappointed in their unprofessional, lack of efforts on my behalf.

    My son dropped his phone and cracked the screen. My wife and I decided to make him earn the money for the deductible (took a couple months). Meanwhile I gave him my old phone to use while he saved up the money. When I submitted a claim for his phone it was denied because the SIM card was put into a different phone than the phone covered under the policy even though at the time the phone cracked it was the covered phone under the policy. The customer service agent just kept repeating a scripted response with no resolution to the problem, telling me I would have to contact my carrier. Completely useless. I don't know if the CSA didn't understand what I was saying or if she just didn't care, probably both. Now I'm stuck paying for a cracked phone and INS. that are both completely useless.

    I've been paying for insurance pretty much since I can remember and the 1st time I do a claim. I get an email that it was approved and it would be expedited 24 hour shipping. We'll 24 hours passed and I was patient since sometimes I get it's different timezones 48 hours. Pass... 72... Now I'm at day 4. No tracking number or information. I call in and I'm informed that my device is back ordered with no estimate of when I'm going to receive my device.

    What is frustrating is that I had to be the one to call to be told this and be told I just have to wait, no other solution. It's baffling to me that you say it's 24 hour next day shipping but fail to tell customers you don't have a device in stock. Teach your employees about how empathy really works. I don't like hearing I understand because they don't. They don't understand how infuriating it is not to be told the whole truth and be without a device. Definitely purchasing insurance through a different company in the future.

    Assurant was quick to replace my defective device after I told them the battery was swelling and I was afraid of it exploding. I still believe a 7 day “warranty” period is ridiculous. Thank you to them for the quick resolution.

    Original Review: June 28, 2019

    Everything about the claim process was easy, fast and painless. Received my replacement phone in just a couple days. However.... There is only a 7 period grace period for any devices to be sent back for problems. I am 20 days past that period and my screen has started separating from the iPhone on one side. I’ve dropped and beat up plenty of old phones and have never seen the screen just separate from the phone this way. I now have a useless phone and am being told that I have to file another claim and pay another deductible. After paying insurance monthly for years and years it’s very disappointing to see this company only care about making more money.

    Leaving a well deserved review. I filed a claim on Friday June 21st, 2019. On Monday June 24th, was asked to send in proof of identity. No biggie... I send it in driver's license which was told to me and stated on the website, would take 24 hours. Well fast forward to 48 hours it was not accepted so a phone bill was requested and sent Wednesday June 26th. Well the 24 hour process time that was told to me by 4 agents was not met AGAIN. I asked to speak to a supervisor, he was kind enough to escalate my claim for me, but I asked to speak with a manager about the 48 hour wait I did not want to go through AGAIN! This manager named Marpin, then told me it takes 48 hours not 24 hours, to get approved. He only told me that because the 24 hour deadline was not met.

    On the website, and 4 different agents I spoke with ALL told me it only would take 24 hours to process, so when I asked him why he was the only one saying different, he was all of a sudden lost at words and told me there was nothing he could do, that the people that review are not there, and are probably busy so they didn't get it approved within 24 hours. During this whole situation I now am having to wait over a week for a replacement device. Sadly, after this I will no longer carry insurance with this company because their moral and customer promises are not met to my expectations. Who ever reads this if you care... should really update your website to reflect 24-48 hours so that you don't have ANOTHER upset, and frustrated customer. Thank you, Edith **

    I purchased a specific color phone originally for a reason. I am disappointed I am spending $10 a month PLUS a deductible of almost $200 for them to send the wrong color and do nothing about it. It sound sounds silly, but when you have a family with the same phones, color helps keep the phones separate. The phone took 2 days to get to me too even though they guarantee overnight shipping.

Now my claimed has been denied and of course Assurant is refusing to refile the claim with the correct information. Assurant is by far one of the worst companies i have ever dealt with.

    Updated on 07/02/2019: So I previously gave the company a 1 star rating on here. After that is when Rose contacted me and everything finally got settled with my son's replacement Samsung J7. She was definitely very helpful, she resolved the matter quickly, and actually called me back when she said she would. My biggest problem is that I should have received this kind of service from the very start. It shouldn't have taken a negative review on this site to FINALLY get this issue resolved. While as helpful as she was, the company as a whole is lacking, with employees that could care less about finding a solution to a problem on their end. So 2 stars is all I'm willing to give it and I still wouldn't recommend anyone use them.

    Original Review: I have no idea why T-Mobile is using Assurant. I submitted a claim for my damaged phone that I have had for 3 years paying insurance and never filed a claim previously. I was informed that my phone was not in stock in the warehouse and my only option was to purchase the phone myself and wait to get reimbursed. They would not even reimburse the full value of what a replacement phone would cost. I asked for a Supervisor and was hung up on. I called again and was told they had to fill out a template to get someone to call in 24 hours, no one called. I called again and all they did was resubmit the same template. This is unacceptable.

    Filed a claim on an S8 Active due to charging port issue. Agent confirmed an "in kind" replacement would be dispatched after deductible was paid. Received an S8 which is not acceptable. Contacted customer service and was hung up on by agent and not called back, seemed intentional. Got a hold of a supervisor and was told S8 was all that was available but would send a return label for returning the S8. Supervisor recommended going and buying a new one from T-Mobile if that was the acceptable model. S8 was returned but no return of deposit. So, Assurant is collecting insurance premiums for products the cannot support, supply inferior replacements, and keeps deductibles for products they haven't replaced.

    I needed to get my Apple Watch replaced and I was first told that it would be 60.00 by a worker from assistant and I told them I’ll save up that amount and call back when I have the money to pay. I called a month or so later and when I was fully through the claims process and was told the price I was now told it was going to be 90 something dollars instead of the 60.00. They didn’t want to help me find out who said they and why she just wanted me to pay the 90 even after I asked to speak to a manager. She refused and continued to tell me to pay the amount. I finally just paid it so I can get my replacement. I’m so upset of the lack of communication from the workers saying things and then changing it up. Better customer service would be nice. I will be canceling my insurance with Assurant and go through another company to fix my phone and watch if they where to break in the future.

When I called to see where my phone was, the representative told me that I had just filed the claim that day (after I was put on hold and transferred to HIS manager). I had the confirmation number as proof I did not file it that day.

    It was a complete disaster in customer care. I did finally get a new case manager and she resolved the issue. This was after many days of trying to get the issue resolved. The woman apologized profusely about the previous manager and did call me back 24 hours later to make sure she had resolved the problem.

    The experience I have had with Assurant has been nothing but a headache. Filed a claim, once it was approved the process was fast, next day shipping. Sadly, That was the only great thing about the experience so far. I received my refurbished device, which I had no problem with I’m already aware there is a 50/50 chance of receiving a new one. Immediately upon activation I noticed the device was defective having audio issues I couldn’t hear even though the volume was up. & as well people have been stating that they having been calling me and I have not received not one call. Not even a missed call. So I tried to give the phone a few days thinking maybe it just needs a few days to adjust. But then I kept getting messages saying people were trying to reach me.

    I called 9 days after having the phone and the lady said that she couldn’t send another replacement because there was a 7 day police and she cold transferred me to Apple and told me I had a warranty with them. That lady was no help to me at all and only wanted to get me off her line. The issue had nothing to do with apple. So the senior advisor at Apple called Assurant back and stayed on the line with me for over an hour to make sure that they will be sending me another device. Long story short they will be sending me another phone on Monday and if it is defective I will be back here Tuesday with another review. It’s very frustrating to be paying for a service to be covered in case of emergencies and you’re not even guaranteed or properly able to use that service.

    I cracked my phone screen and attempted to replace it. I tried to file a claim online, but was told to call. What followed was 5 hours of bouncing between Assurant, Apple and T-Mobile trying to get information. I was told I had coverage which I didn't; told my coverage was with another company, told they'd rebooted the system and I'd have to wait half an hour (or hour).

    Finally one tenacious T-Mobile rep stayed on the line with me and grilled the Assurant rep until they admitted the problem was in their computers, just for my account, and their IT department would work over the weekend to fix it (this was a Friday). I called back Saturday. It took me multiple tries to find someone who understood the situation. They told me their IT department never works on the weekend. When the problem was finally fixed the exchange went smoothly, but the refurbished replacement phone has trouble with freezing and is slower than the one it replaced. I immediately dropped my Assurant coverage through T-Mobile and will only buy protection directly from Apple.

They sent me a new phone and the package to send the damaged phone back and it only cost me $50. I was really surprised because the insurance co-pay on a smartphone is usually a lot higher.

    Our US Cellular store helped us file a claim after the microphone in my husband's iPhone 8-plus suddenly quit working. (He could hear callers, but callers could not hear him.) We were a month past warranty (of course!) so we had to file the claim and pay $175 for a replacement phone. Talked to the Assurant rep on Monday evening and the replacement phone was delivered the next day before we got home from work. New phone works perfectly so we were very pleased with the service.

    I lost my iPhone while on vacation. Once home, I went home a T-Mobile store and the salesperson was so helpful and assisted me by calling Assurant to report my iPhone lost. It took about 20 minutes on the phone with the Assurant agent to report my loss and request a replacement iPhone. The service agent was very helpful and comical. He was very responsive and sympathetic to my situation and assured me I would receive a refurbished X iPhone (he could not guarantee a new phone) overnight. Although I did have to pay a $249 deductible, the phone did arrive the following day and thank goodness I have not had any issues with this iPhone.

    So I had to go to T-Mobile because my dogs knock my phone out of my hands and it cracked the screen. Sooo they told me to call Assurant. The first time I called I got a guy who barely could speak English. Then he wouldn't process it because it said Minneapolis instead of Coon Rapids.. then hung up on me. So I has to go back to the store and talk to them again. Then call again. They told me I would get my replacement in 1 to 2 days.. I waited until about 5 o'clock on the 3 day. Still no phone. I went back to the store and had them call to find my phone. They said, "It's out of stock and we will get you when it comes back into stock." I waited 8 days... It was a horrible experience.

    I am happy with the customer service and the price of my deductible but I think that when I filed a claim a few months ago they gave me a refurbished phone... I had my new phone by the pool and water got in the camera. Samsung Note 8 phones are supposed to be water resistant up to three feet for up to 30 minutes. I didn't even come close to challenging this feature and somehow water got in my phone and into the camera. I think the phone that I had only had for a couple of months was refurbished and the factory seal was improperly replaced. So I had to file another claim shortly after the first claim and then put this phone in a bulky waterproof case.

    I have been paying Assurant for over a year for my iPhone 7 device through T-Mobile. About 3 weeks ago, the phone's audio stopped functioning. According to my contract, "mechanical failures" should be replaced by Assurant with $0 deductible. Over the course of 5 phone calls and about 4 hours of time (3 of which were Assurant agents arguing with T-Mobile agents for T-Mobile to replace the phone instead of themselves while I was on the line) I was repeatedly told Assurant would not honor my $0 deductible situation. Instead, multiple Assurant agents tried to convince me they were doing me a 'favor' by falsifying my claim to 'accidental damage' and only charging me a $95 deductible.

    It was only after a final 1.5 hour customer service call, escalating to manager after manager while threatening a lawsuit did they finally agree to replace my device as was originally agreed upon when I signed up. Due to the utter dishonesty and poor customer service I received, I believe that Assurant is acting in an immoral and dishonest practice towards customers. Although I cannot confirm, I must assume that they are taking advantage of other customers out there without their knowledge, as is what almost happened to myself. Please beware of this organization and how they treat customers.

    I had purchased Assurant Insurance coverage for my daughter's iPhone 6. When her phone was stolen, we submitted an insurance claim. We were pleased with the relative ease in which the claim was processed and a replacement phone received. We did have to pay a $175 (deductible?) at the time of the claim, but that seemed reasonable. However, that was 4 months ago, and now the replacement phone has died. The Apple store told us it was a hardware problem that cannot be fixed. When we contacted Assurant, we were informed that the warranty period on the replacement phone was only 90 days. So now I realize that I paid $175 (in addition to the monthly insurance premiums) for a refurbished piece of junk that only lasted 4 months. Lesson learned.

When I gave them that information, they still declined my claim after a week saying conflicting information. When I talked to the customer service, they said that they did not have the information about my claim being declined. Assurant wanted me to mail the corporate office which is all the way to Pennsylvania just to know why my claim was denied or what information they wanted from me. The customer service has always been rude and not helpful but I still had to take it being a T-mobile customer. This insurance is a rip-off.

    I pay for Apple care theft prevention every month and it is RIDICULOUS that I am being refused a replacement phone because "Find My Phone" was off at the time it was lost/stolen. I just got this new phone from Apple a few months ago and I went through the process of setting it up, and I'm assuming I turned on Find My Phone and didn't turn it off. But when they directed me to Apple to check - they saw it was off. Whether this is accurate or not I don't know, but it's NOT right or fair that I should be rejected a replacement especially when there is not enough education or notification going out informing people to make sure this is on, otherwise they won't qualify for a replacement phone - that's just shady. Whether the app is on or off, I deserve a new phone because I am paying for this insurance every month. Now I'm left without a replacement phone and still having to pay off my lost/stolen phone.

    On 06.06.19 at approximately 6:15 p.m., I placed a claim (recorded conversation should be on file with Assurant because they said they were recording me when I placed call for the claim). I placed my claim as I normally would and gave all of the necessary information and paid deductible. When I say all necessary information, I mean last four of social, billing / shipping address, contact phone, and email. We did not receive the phone on Saturday, and we thought, "No big deal, we should get it on Monday."

    Monday came and went and no phone so we checked for status and it said that they were missing information so they could ship. My husband contacted them to find out what information was missing and the information was the same information that I gave on the day I made my claim, again Assurant should have the recorded conversation. Then they told my husband that our phone was on back order and we would have to wait an additional 3-5 business days to receive the phone. Meanwhile, I am without a phone. Now here is the problem:

    Terms and conditions state: Subject to the terms and conditions in your coverage documents, your coverage provides for a replacement wireless devise which may be, at our option, refurbished equipment or different equipment of like kind and quality and any covered accessories as defined in your coverage documents. Your approved claim is subject to a non-refundable service fee/deductible based on your equipment type as defined in your coverage documents.

    They did not honor their part of the claim. I am now calling back my carrier T-Mobile if they will make this right and offer me a free phone of equal value. I am not requesting a phone of greater value just equal value. I have been a loyal customer to T-Mobile and to my calculations, I have paid over $7,520 for the 5 phones i have on my plan for 2 years and 8 months. If T-Mobile will not make this right, then I will have to take my business somewhere else.

    Also, I need to mention that when I asked to speak to someone higher up with than a manager (Assurant), I was told that I would have to write the company because they did not have a phone number for me to contact someone higher that could offer me a comparable devise. How about that? POOR POOR SERVICE BY ASSURANT. I will make sure to share my experience with all of my Facebook/Instagram/Twitter followers.

They can send you ANY COLOR of phone as a replacement for your phone. Hope you like pink because it might be yours. Then, when you point it out you are treated as if they are doing you a favor.

No explanation as to why, but if the insurance does not cover a damaged device, then what am I paying for??? I've seen plenty of reviews on here of others getting their damaged devices replaced, so wondering what makes my claim different? Looking to at LEAST drop their coverage, if not switch providers to one who offers actual insurance for damaged devices.

    On 06/03/2019 I was approved per the email from Assurant for a replacement phone, the same phone that I pay insurance on, the Samsung Note 5, the LED screen cracked - then on 06/04/2019 I received a lesser phone in lieu of the Note 5 phone that I paid for. I immediately called them and I received excuses, no accountability and not willing to correct the error. They also said I had to send the S8 back before they would send the "correct" phone to me. So I had to pay extra shipping with tracking to get it there, the soonest by 06/07 to avoid waiting a week. I have reached out to BBB - I received a voice mail message today, in response to the BBB complaint, yet I called back and cannot reach the assigned case mgr. This now is the only ONE person that I have to wait for, per the rep to connect with to help me at this point after 6 phone calls and 3 emails, and now 3 days without a workable Note 5 phone. Thanks to Assurant.

    They took my $149 easily and now are holding me "hostage" as I am here without the Note 5 compatible with S-Pen, replacement phone. They sent me an email telling me that I had to provide a letter from my employer to "vouch" that I need this type of phone, when I am self employed in addition to 2 other positions I carry. My integrity is not the one in question here. I truly feel they they are trying to drive me to throw my hands up...and they figure that I will eventually just accept a lesser phone. They also asked me on more than one occasion, once was not enough, what other phone would I accept. I replied the same each time, either the Note 5, 8 or 9. I doubt that CEO Alan Colberg would accept a lesser value/model phone. If anyone else has had this experience, please let me know.

    It is clear to me after wasting so much of my valuable time, their core values lack regard for me, my business and or my customers - it appears that they are more concerned with their own conveniences and or making money off my back. There is NO other explanation. An attorney friend of mine once said, "If it does not make sense to you, it is making someone ELSE cents". PS I was told several times by Assurant that they did not have the Note 5 phone available in the warehouse at the time, however they could not tell me what Note phones they did have in their warehouse. The run around. I am keeping track of the money I am losing daily, thanks to Assurant. Who will pay for this? All could have been avoided by simply sending me the same Note 5, or an 8 or 9 whatever was truly available in their warehouse, that is the bottom line.

    I guarantee you that they have a Note 5, 8 or 9 phone in their warehouse. #2 when I made Assurant aware of the error, they could have then cleaned this up and overnight-ed the correct Note 5, 8 or 9, and Assurant still chose not to. Instead Assurant choose to put me under more duress. Still without a phone. Is it the principle and integrity that will prevail? Or is it Assurant's money and misappropriated power? Make me wrong...please! Per Assurant's website: Will the replacement device be exactly the same make and model as my original device? Your device will be replaced with a reconditioned one of like kind and quality. In the event a reconditioned device is not available, we will replace it with a new model of like kind and quality. Device color may vary depending on availability.

    The $100 fee was supposed to insure the phone would be received the next day. It took ten days, quite a few phone calls, and visits to T-mobile, to find that the scratched, used phone with bad audio was on backorder. I have since called the "experts" 3 days in a row with dropped audio issues and I still have them.

    Original Review: June 6, 2019

    I paid insurance on for my phone bill for over three years. When my phone was accidentally destroyed beyond repair, I filed a claim through Assurant. They took my information and approved my claim in just a few minutes. They told me my phone would be sent to me via overnight shipping within twenty-four hours. However, it has been three days since then and I still don't have a phone. When I called to ask why, the agent told me she would have to check into it with the warehouse and that my file would be updated when the phone actually shipped. I was told I would receive an email and that I could also follow the progress of my claim online.

    Well, I never received an email, my account has not been updated online and I still don't have a phone! I paid a total of $230 (including my deductible) for insurance that refuses to replace my phone. I could have just not paid the insurance money and gone to the store and bought a newer, better phone for just a few dollars more. Even if I paid a lot more, I would only have gone without a phone for one day, rather than the week it's taken Assurant to make good on their promise. This company is nothing but a shady rip-off. Just save your money and, when your phone breaks, gets lost or is damaged, go buy a new one.

    Original Review: June 6, 2019

    Dropped and cracked my Galaxy S10 Plus yesterday (June 5th, 2019). Immediately filed a claim using the website. Didn't receive an email saying that my claim was received. Checked the website this morning (June 6th, 2019) and it said that my claim was denied but gave me no explanation as to why. I called. The lady that answered was really nice in handling the situation but in the end she said she couldn't see why they denied my claim and that I'd have to write a letter to their corporate office. Why? What kind of crap is this? I've been paying Premium device protection for the 6 years I've been with T-Mobile.

    When I dropped my Nexus 6 back in 2015, I filed a claim, it was instantly approved and I had my new device the next day. Why is this so hard this time? Why should I have to write a freaking letter? I am 100% covered for this, on the T-Mobile site itself it says I'm covered under accidental damage. Accidental damage is definitely dropping a phone. Reading other reviews, I didn't want to believe them because of my positive experience back in 2015... But it seems like this company has changed their business practices since then. I'll update my review if the situation changes.

    Claim was approved May 25. Replacement phone to go out next day. When I did not receive it called. They said it was returned, apparently they didn't put the unit # on it. They had never sent me a email regarding when it was shipped or any issues. I had to call. They then told me that other one was being sent next day. After another 4 days again with no tracking # sent again. (Which is their policy) I called again after being put on hold for 45 min. They come back and say that the phone is backordered! With no ETA. Told them this is not acceptable I would like to speak with a supervisor. I was told they were not available!!! They would send a email when it shipped. Again could not give me an ETA, but they sure charged my cc right away. Terrible customer service and no communication whatsoever!!

    I absolutely recommend this insurance company! I went on a family trip and stayed in a hotel. Unfortunately, when I got home I couldn't find my tablet. I searched everywhere and even called it and the hotel, but none of us could find it. That night I filed a claim with Assurant online and they overnighted me a replacement.

    I was very disappointed with service I received for being a loyal customer to T-Mobile. Paying for insurance and not getting good service. I damaged my phone and filed a claim paid a deductible to get another phone. Refurbished phone and defective. First night calls were being dropped, keyboard was not working. I would try to open my apps such as my bank acct and I couldn’t because keyboard was typing a different number or letter. Called Assurant the very next day which was a Saturday and explained all the issues I was having and that I was leaving on vacation that Monday. Asked if I could have another phone expedited that day to another store or home so I could have a working phone on my trip. They know the best they can do because it was the weekend was to ship another phone on Tuesday. However I would not be here and not have working phone on my trip. For the inconvenience they discounted my bill 20 dollars!!

    On my vacation I was unable to open apps such as my bank, Pandora to play my music, my Twitter just everything in general. It was horrible and very frustrating!! I would not recommend this insurance to anyone. In fact I called T-Mobile and suggested to them get rid of them or will lose customers. It gets better. I came back and went to pick up the second refurbished phone and told now the one they shipped out I couldn’t get because some serial number on the phone was switched on the new order. They wanted me to wait till Thursday for another phone so basically I would be without a working phone for another week. Finally a T-Mobile rep suggested I upgrade to get a new phone since I eligible. I had to pay another 75.00! Not happy customer and again will NOT recommend anyone to get this insurance.

    Purchased a device from t-mobile, again a brand new iphone XS Max , phone got damaged and processed a claim, so I'm paying monthly on my phone for this insurance. Claim was denied, reason, the phone number associated with the actual phone as moved to another phone. So I own several phones, if I move the SIM on another phone the coverage is no longer valid. So basically they keep on charging you but deny a claim. So they basically insure a SIM card and not the actual device, got to be the most stupid thing I have seen with phone insurance. I am never dealing with these thieves again, and same goes for T-Mobile. They offer the insurance so they are just as bad. Good Bye T-Mobile.

    It's sad that they are a monopoly and we have no other choices whenever a phone must be replaced. I lost my phone and promptly paid the ridiculously high premium. I was told that my phone would be there the next day. Tuesday came and no phone was delivered. I inform them and they said after talking to a rude supervisor who kept hanging up on me that I had to wait another five days and then I would get another one sent out to me. Five days later I call. They say that they will send it the next day. Next day came and still no phone. I call and oops they forgot to send it. They promise next day delivery and it actually came. Dummies my phone was gold and sent me a black one. They suck big time and I'm being forced to use a phone that's the wrong color! I'm over it but I never hope to use them AGAIN.

    We lost my wife's phone On My 18th, and Assurant shipped out the device on 21st. But we never received it. UPS seemed to have misplaced it. They say they left it outside our door, but we never found it. After informing Assurant, they said they would raise it with UPS, and we waited for another 10 days to hear from them. Then nothing happened, and upon getting in conference with both UPS and Assurant, we were told that our ups account somehow mysteriously had release authorization (which could have been a mistake). Hence UPS didnt take the responsibility. Now Assurant says they wont even consider the shipment loss. Now we are stuck with no phone. I hope assurant helped us much better. Isnt the insurance for this kind of stuff?

    My phone broke, and I called Max Assurant Plus. They sent a replacement right away and were very pleasant. Before even receiving the device, I received an e-mail that they had not received my device back and a reminder that I would be charged if it wasn't received. I called back and was assured that I would have 15 days once received before any charges were made as per the contract. I had trouble making arrangements to return through UPS because of my location but had made arrangements for it to be returned to UPS by a friend travelling to a larger city on day 14.

    On day 12, the company attempted to charge my credit card triggering a fraud alert on my card. I called and was told that it is an automated charge, and there is no way to stop them from continuing to try to charge my card PRIOR to the 15-day mark. I asked to speak to a manager or someone else who has the ability to override the system at least until day 15, and I was advised that it would take up to 2 business days to hear back. The early charge is a breach of agreed upon terms, and it is absolutely unacceptable that it cannot be resolved immediately.

    My iPhone was not charging anymore and the ear speaker was very difficult to hear from so I made a claim with T-Mobile and Assurant. The replacement phone showed up two days later however, there had been lots of rain and the shipping box damaged so was the return label. So I checked to see the replacement phone was ok and it was. I then proceeded to buy a box at my local post office and used the shipping label provided by Assurant on their website.

    Today I received a letter that my damaged phone has not been received and that if it’s not returned I will be charged for the replacement device. When I called to Assurant customer service I was told that their warehouse has not received my device and that I will be charged if I don’t return my old phone. Of course I don’t have that phone anymore as it was shipped on 5/16/2019. Assurant has the worst return labels ever and do a poor job in providing good return labels that can be tracked. I recommend buying your own labels and tracking them if you want to avoid the unnecessary fees of a lost phone.

    Hi. I placed a claim on June 1, 2019 for a Samsung Note. The claim was approved and immediately paid for. I was told each replacement phone ships out overnight delivery...Great! Well, I received an email yesterday (June 2, 2019) afternoon indicating my device has shipped along with a tracking number. I checked the tracking status and lo and behold ...UPS doesn't have the package. I called this morning to verify the shipping and the automatic system stated, "My device was shipped on June 2, 2019. Have you received it yet?" What is going on?!

    I was finally able to get a rep on the line and at that time I was advised my phone has NOT been shipped and that UPS has NOT picked up my package. A few hours later I reached back out to UPS and still NO update. I contacted Assurant and now I am being told, "Yes, your package was shipped yesterday and UPS has it at the warehouse and didn't scan it yet". I don't do lies and games especially when it comes to a simple process everyone is familiar with. If you have my $249 payment then please send me my device! I only had this phone a few months. I wish Tmobile would go back to their previous policy and insurance carriers. Not happy at all.
