    It was easy to file the claim. The replacement phone came within a day of filing. The data from the old phone was transferred by our US Cellular provider and the damaged phone was returned. The service is convenient and easy.

    I purchased a phone through a company that provided Max Plus Assurance. My camera broke, so I called in and got a replacement device. Unfortunately when I got it the audio was not working and I could not speak on the phone. I returned it and they sent me a second replacement.. SAME PROBLEM. I have just received the third replacement phone and once again the audio is not working and people cannot hear me on the phone. THIS IS THE THIRD REPLACEMENT WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. The worst part is, after every replacement I’ve had to send back they have assured me that they will do more vigorous testing before dispatching the next one to ensure it is working properly.

    Clearly this was never done, though you would think having a working audio system is something they test routinely before sending out. Each time I have called there has also been no record of this request despite multiple staff claiming they’ll be sure to make note of it on the file. As a physician who is reliant on their phone and needs to be reachable while on call, this is beyond frustrating and has been a complete headache and waste of time. Please do yourself a favour and DO NOT buy insurance with this company or buy from a company that uses them. They are unable to deliver on their sole business.

    My phone was stolen while I was out of town. The process for a replacement phone was easy and fast. I had the glass screen protector on my phone and that was not going to be replaced although I had lifetime replacement on that. I had to repurchase that. That could have been on my carrier and not the insurance company. All in all, good experience.

    Travelled to Taiwan with my husband this past month and upon arriving back home in Los Angeles, I noticed my iPad mini was stolen out of one of our carry-on duffel bags. We think that someone took it out of our bag in the overhead cabin while we were sleeping on the plane. So irritating. So as soon as I got home, I reached out to T-Mobile and since we pay for insurance for our devices (thank goodness). They transferred me over to Assurant. From there, the customer service rep took all my info down and all I had to do was pay the deductible and they sent a replacement iPad the very next day! Couldn’t have been more happy with the speed and service that I received. Great job, Assurant.

    Some insurance companies get it, others don't. This company made me jump through a bunch of hoops to get a replacement phone. Finally got the replacement - but immediately canceled the "protection plan." The CEO's office was great, but why does someone have to go through so much work to process a claim. Poor communication and slow response times.

    Costco sells this "Max Assurance Protection" insurance for cell phones. Unfortunately, I bought it and since I asked for replacement phone, they keep sending either a refurbished one which now has random working problem and then they sent me the unlocked AT&T which is not FIDO LTE compatible!!! They didn't replaced it since they say it's FIDO problem!!!! If I knew I would have so much hassle, wasting time with this company I would never have bought it. Now I have a refurbished phone, AT&T unlocked, not Fido LTE compatible (No Data anymore). Be careful with this company.

    I cracked the camera lens cover glass on my LG G6. Called Assurant to send me a replacement phone wich was done promptly. The phone arrived within 24 hrs but the replacement phone was defective. It doesn't charge properly and looses charge extremely quick. Was at 33% when I received it so I put it on to charge and by the time I transfered my data 1 hr maybe it was at 9%. Now I have to send back the phone, wait until they receive it, refund my deductible and call back to go through the whole process again. Not what I had in mind when that insurance was sold to me by the Costco salesman who told me they were a good company. Now I'm still stuck with a broken phone and do trust the company enough to try the process again.

    I have an iPhone 7. My phone battery was depleted so I wanted it replaced. They charged me the $88.48 replacement fee and they sent me my first replacement which had speaker and microphone problems (it kept glitching out when I was trying to speak to people and no one could hear, and it would make a loud sound every few seconds on my end while talking), the battery was also very depleted, so I spoke with them and they sent me a replacement.

    They sent me a second phone that that had a very bad speaker (everyone I spoke with said it sounded as though I was talking through a tube or from across the room, when in fact I had the phone up to my head. Even the people at Assurant Max Protection said it sounded very bad and they could barely hear me, one was rude enough to tell me that I needed to speak into the phone in a rude tone) so once again they sent me another replacement. I have just activated my third phone from them, this one has a depleted battery which was the problem with my original phone!

    They will not return my $88.48 replacement fee, which I find ridiculous after all the hassle just to get what seems like my original phone back! It seems like quite the scam to me, I will be going to Costco where I bought the original phone and the insurance and see what they have to say. Not to mention this is a phone for my business and I lost business because no one could hear when me they called and would hang up. I will never be purchasing this protection insurance from Assurant Max Protection again and I will be advising everyone I know of the poor service I received so they don’t waste their money.

    So, I'm giving Assurant only 2 * for 1.) out of the customer service reps I talked to over the last weekend - maybe 3 of 6/7 were helpful. Then this is probably more beef with T-Mobile and UPS - which someone should read THIS and fix; 2.) I had/have insurance but someone at T-Mobile (Cianna in VA) wiped that out in a keystroke when putting me into a Family plan and I was insured for 5 years - at 11-15 dollars a month = $900? Again more T-Mobile's fault - which perhaps someone from your end could've followed up on; 3.) and with UPS - being that you all do business with them, and if you're sending out something as important and as expensive as a phone (iPhone, to be specific) that it should be signed for, and not left in a customer's bushes - where it took me a day to search oh and THIS irked and still irks me; 4.) when emailing me about MY phone you don't even address ME (Cynthia) but someone else.

    My husband's phone wasn't working for him. We went to the store to get the insurance claim started. Paid the 100 deductible. Got the replacement next day. Replacement phone did not power on and it did not recognize the power cords. Called Assurant. The first person I spoke to kept telling me there was nothing they can do about it. That I needed to go back to the store to pay another 100 deductible. I specifically said I'm not paying another 100 for this. I already paid the 100. The guy I spoke to kept saying um uh um uh in everything he told me. Then he asked for the order number. I give it to him. He said he could not find it. Then tells me that I HAVE to go back to the store to pay the 100.

    For a replacement cell phone that was delivered already defective. It did not power on and did not recognize the power cords. So I ask for any supervisor. He puts me on hold for over 5 minutes to come back and say there is no one. Then he asked me if there was anything else he can assist with. I said again, "Yes your supervisor." He refused to get me to someone. Then he hung up on me. I call back and got someone who was able to do what I ask and was nice about it. But we get the second replacement. The second replacement worked and just needed to be activated. Which my husband had done the smart switch. Then I called to get it activated.

    The first gal I spoke to kept telling me the IMEI number was not in the system. Because ASSURANT DID NOT remove the first replacement IMEI number and they DID NOT ENTER the second one. So the first gal yells at me saying there was nothing she can do to get the cell phone activated. She had to escalate it to her help desk who can do it. But she also tells me that she can activate the phone with the IMEI number that is in the system already. But the problem is....THE IMEI NUMBER IN THE SYSTEM WAS FOR THE FIRST REPLACEMENT PHONE.

    THE ONE THAT DID NOT POWER ON AND DID NOT RESPOND TO A PHONE CHARGER. So if we activated the cell phone with that number it would not have been for the correct phone. So the lady got me to her help desk. The help desk tells me they cannot enter the IMEI number manually and they cannot find the IMEI number in the system for the correct phone. It's like this....WELL DUH YOU WON'T HAVE THE CORRECT IMEI NUMBER IN THE SYSTEM BECAUSE ASSURANT DID NOT PUT IT IN THE SYSTEM FOR THE CORRECT REPLACEMENT!!!!

    So I spent over 2 hours trying to get to a supervisor on the phone. The lady kept telling me that I've already escalated it to the highest. I said no I need a supervisor now. She said no one was available. I tell her, "Get me to one now because this is ridiculous. I have a cell phone your company sent me as a replacement and now it's a paper weight and you cannot do your job and activate this." I also tell her, "Fine. Get me to corporate." She transfers me to corporate and they are closed. She never once informs me they were closed.

    I call back. Get a very nice guy. He tells me that he got several calls from other customers that day about other phone agents not doing their jobs. That they could not or would not activate their phone. I ask, "Out of all those calls how many were you able to activate." He says he activated all of them. I spend less than one hour on the phone with him and he got my husband's second phone activated. Between Xfinity and Assurant Insurance customer service. I'm not sure who is worse. Between the two I've been told there is nothing they can do to help, I needed to pay another 100 deductible, refused a supervisor more than once, lied to and been refused assistance.

    So if I can give Assurant 0 stars on this very long review I definitely would. We pay the extra each month on time for the insurance. For this kind of service I am better off switching to a different cell carrier who goes through a different insurance company. Both places seriously lacked in their customer service and really needs to be retrained.

    I used Assurant for a phone replacement after accidentally breaking the screen on my 3 month old Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I'm usually very careful with my phones and take care of them. Filing a claim was easy and fast. I paid $99 for the replacement and $30 for 1 day shipping. I received the phone in 1 day as promised. After setting up the replacement phone (which is a refurbished phone) I noticed that the speaker was broken. Having the volume all the way up you could barely hear anything. This was the same for the ringer, calls, videos and music. This is the second time using this company and had this same problem with two different phones with two different phone carriers.

    It's sad that a company like this doesn't check to see if the phones are functioning correctly before sending them to customers! I called them and told what happened. They said they would send out a different one. I told them I didn't want another person's piece of junk and was sending the phone back. They said they will only refund the $99 and not the $30 for shipping. It's not my fault they sent a defective replacement. So now I'm having to pay $350 to replace my screen at cell phone repair store because I'm not wanting someone else broken phone and then I give them my 3 month old phone that functions fine besides the crack in the screen. I've lost respect and faith in this company. It's just a shame that most of the major cell phone carriers use this company.

Once I did a full reinstall, and saw the phone was working, I wiped the original phone and boxed it up and dropped it off. Later in the evening of May 2nd I realized I could only make calls on the replacement phone if I was connected via Bluetooth. The speaker button is grayed out and a call won’t connect at all directly from the handset. I spent SIX hours on the phone on Friday, off and on, between T-Mobile and Assurant. T-Mobile was as helpful as they could be. Assurant on the other hand said in order to replace the defective phone they sent, they would have to send me a label and the phone would have to show “In Transit” before they would send another one.

    That would be great except for the fact it leaves me with no phone until the replacement replacement phone arrives. My kids' schools need to be able to contact me as well as I need to be able to run my business. I even took my phone into an Apple store and they confirmed it was an internal issue BUT the device was out of warranty and it would cost me $349 plus tax to replace through Apple. For FIVE days I have been trying to get this resolved and Assurant has not been accommodating. Their process is horrible. You don’t have to wait to get my deductible payment, but I have to be without a phone until you see it in transit. Yet I see other people say once their phone showed in transit, they have waited days for another replacement. Smh. Horrible way to take care of your customers. If you can charge for the original phone not being back on time, you can charge if the replacement phone isn’t back on time.

    I dropped my phone on my way to work on Thursday, cracked the screen. Got to work at 8 am, called in my claim by 10 am, submitted the payment and was told if my claim is approved before 8 pm my phone would be delivered next day. WELL for some reason my claim was not approved until 10pm even after they took my money at 10:13 am. So I had to wait until Monday end of day to get the replacement. Got the replacement, transferred everything, phone doesn't work. Keeps cutting off, apps don't work.

    Claim number two, day 7. Now they refuse to send it to my house so I have to go into a store inconvenienced. Get to the store. Phone has no back or battery. Store has no battery available so I'm unable to transfer my stuff so I can't take the second replacement. 10 days it took me to get a working phone because they sent a defective refurbished replacement and the working phone didn't come from Assurant. It came directly from my cell phone carrier. Because I had been so inconvenienced by this company they are not worth it and provide poor customer service.

    On Monday my phone stopped letting people hear me on calls. Calling 611 was useless because they couldn't hear me to help. The very helpful T-Mobile store employees couldn't figure it out so we submitted a claim. They did charge me $49 for a replacement because of a tiny crack on the screen even though it was irrelevant to the issue and caused no problems. They said it would've been a free replacement without the crack. The next day while waiting for the new phone to arrive my battery crashed. Just stopped working and wouldn't take a charge. The next day the new phone arrived and hallelujah it came with a new battery. Took it to the store and 90 minutes later things were switched to the new phone which has been working great.

    I lost my phone on April 16, 2019 and didn't receive a replacement until April 24, 2016. This was the worst experience of the entire time having my cell phone. The primary reason for having the insurance is to get a replacement when an emergency occurs. I don't understand why this took so long and no one was able to give me any type of reasonable excuse other than it was just their procedure and the claim was being processed. My reason for being upset is if the phone is lost, it's lost. Send another phone. My insurance is paid with my bill. I'm a businessman so I really suffered. The second problem was Xfinity Mobile couldn't even allow me to purchase another phone and append the same number in the interim. This is ridiculous and something should be done about it. I plan to change insurance companies soon. VERY, VERY UNHAPPY WITH ASSURANT SERVICE.

    So my daughter cracked her phone screen couple weeks ago. We did the insurance program aka Assurant, and paid to get a phone replacement sent out. Well the day we got the replacement phone it was working and we transferred all her old data to the new phone. The next day (last Friday), we sent the cracked phone in the envelope package provided. We watched the new Endgame, and on the way home, she complained that the screen stopped turning on. So I messed with it then it went like white pix-elated. Obviously something wrong with the screen hardware.

    So I called Assurant. They said, "We will send you a shipping label, and just turn the phone into a FedEx and once we see the package is in TRANSIT, we will ship out the new replacement." Okay now today WED I called to get a status. The rep said the device hasn't arrived yet. Correct but it shipped right? Yes but the warehouse physically needs to see the phone. He said usually they can just see that it's in transit and ship out the new replacement. For some reason they need to physically see the phone. He said it could take 3-7 days after they see it's been delivered to the warehouse! My issue is, I already sent the broken screen device back, which he said he sees, and now I have to wait even longer to get a new device because the replacement they sent me was defective? How does that make sense??? I need this issue solved.

    I have a Samsung Note 9. Upon damage to the screen I filed a replacement claim. I daily communicated with Assurant to monitor the claim process due to a previous nightmare of an experience with the replacement of my iPhone 10 which took over a month to be replaced. The customer communication with Assurant SUCKS. I had to call to find out there was information that was needed as customer service does not email the customer to inform what is needed. As with my iPhone claim, after a week I have to get Headquarters involved to resolve my claim which took only 24 hours to be resolved. This should not be a means when a Supervisor should be able to get the same result.

    I have found that within the Assurant structure the right hand does not communicate with the left. I have always had Asurion and have never waited more than 72 hours to wait for a replacement. Because of my two nightmares of experiences with Assurant I have decided to terminate my service with Xfinity once my phones are paid in full and contract is over. Your service has no consideration for us as customers. This is a world that lives on it cellular communication and to be asked to wait more than a week for a claim settlement is absurd; especially when the claim is a damage claim which requires the damaged phone to be returned. Review your procedure and stop harming customers of those you are contracted to assist.

    Took protection for the iPhone purchased in Costco. A year after reported a Claim for a glass damage. Received a replacement phone, but it took a longer time to back up the phone data as iCloud backup was failing for the existing phone. Once, able to back the data with Apple support team, I was receiving an speaker issue with the replacement device and it took long time to isolate whether it’s a carrier or a Phone issue. I reported about this problem to customer Support. They advised it should be fine will not be charging a Non-return fee as it’s an issue you are encountering with the device we sent, in worst case if a charge has been placed will return it.

    At-last received a new phone as it was a device issue. I returned my actual phone with a glass damage and the replacement phone. I didn't received a non return fee for one of my phone. After my discussion with customer support they advised there is minor glitch in the system. They can see the phone has been received and will return the amount by last week. Today when I called a customer support, he said we could not revert the Non-Return fee. It was quite surprising to me. I have requested an escalation to executive. I am waiting a callback tomorrow.

    I understood that the replacement phone would be a refurbished model, but the speaker for making calls is inferior. People are always asking me to repeat myself, and I have to hold it right up to my mouth when on Bluetooth - so what's the point of Bluetooth? I had T-Mobile put a screen protector on as soon as we activated the phone, so now I've invested in protection, but it's a poor replacement.

I was told, "No problem, send it back as soon as you can and if you do get charged the non-return fee, we will refund it." Returned both phones. Was charged 1 non-return fee. Phoned and was told, "Oh we're very sorry, that will be cleared up right away. We will refund the charge."

    2 weeks later, still not refunded. Phoned again. This time to be told, "Oh sorry, that's our policy." Excuse me? I phoned and advised of my problems and was told not to worry, any charges would be refunded. But on my 3rd phone call, I was told "too bad"...what a joke. Stealing my money and saying, "Too bad, nothing we can do." This is a scam. I haven't been able to talk to anyone higher than a "supervisor" to try and resolve this.

    I dropped my phone in water and had to file a claim. I thought that it would take 24 hours to replace. I am now on day #8, apparently, my claim was "flagged". This means that after I sent in my paperwork (which I did immediately on day #1), that it had to be reviewed first in their system for 24 hours, and then sent to be reviewed again in another department for 3-5 business days. I need my phone to run my business and to stay in contact with my family as I am traveling. I asked to speak to a supervisor to see if we could expedite the process. The supervisor instructed me to email customer service through the website and ask them to please consider making it a priority instead of 3-5 days. I did, and I still have not heard from them.

    Meanwhile, I have called twice to check on it and make sure they didn't need anything from me since the "claim tracker" had not been updated on the website with the info that I sent. All they would say was that it was in review. Today I called, they said that it wasn't processed because I needed to settle a bill with T-Mobile. Okay. I didn't pay the bill b/c I was waiting to see if I needed to make a payment arrangement and buy a new freaking phone since I have to leave town in two days. No one called, emailed or anything, I am not sure how long it would have sat if I didn't call. I paid the bill. I called back to let them know. I was left on hold for 25 minutes. The person ignored me trying to get their attention, even though I KNOW that they can still hear you while you're on hold.

    I finally hung up out of frustration, I called back and spoke to what seemed like a nice guy named Mike, Mike apologized profusely, said that he updated my account and that someone would call me back to "give me an update" and that I should know something in 24 hours. It has now been 24 hours and NO ONE ever called. I just called back, and my account WAS NOT updated by Mike, and the lady said that they SHOULD review it in ANOTHER 24-48 hours!

    Due to a brain lapse I lost my Samsung S8. I called my carrier to lock the phone and they directed me to Assurant, and I was met with exceptionally courteous service. My phone arrived 2 days later. That fast. My wife is a cancer survivor who I need to be in constant contact with and Assurant helped me to maintain that goal. Many, many thanks.

    13 days without a phone! Luckily in this instance the broken phone was my son’s and not my business phone. As a small business owner my family’s well-being rests on my business. If my phone breaks and I cannot have client contact for 13 days, it would be devastating to both my business and family. Unfortunately, in the near future US Cellular and Assurant will be losing a customer of over 20 years. The service I received was completely unacceptable.

    I submitted a claim 3/28/19. It took 5 days for insurance to send an email stating they did not have my driver’s license copy that I uploaded during the claim process therefore they had not even begun to process the claim as of 4/3/19. It takes 6 days to tell me they don’t have all the information they needed? Immediately I went to the site and tried to upload my DL and received a message that their site was not working correctly, and I should try again later. I tried from my phone and computer and received the same message. After many attempts it finally went through leaving me to wonder if it was really my error that the upload did not go through the first time.

    The customer service rep informed me that my claim would still take 3-5 days to process from this point. I explained to the CS rep that I believed it was an error on their end and asked if the claim could be expedited due to their error and was told no. I then called US Cellular and requested help only to be told there was nothing they could do, and I should call Assurant back and ask for a manager. I called Assurant back, requested a manager and was told nothing can be done. The replacement phone was not received until 4/9/19. I am completely let down with what I always bragged to everyone was the best cell phone carrier and insurance out there.

    My son Galaxy S8 64g screen went blue so I called Assurant. Paid the deductible. They let me know I qualified for a replacement. I got the email with tracking info. I sat home all day the day of arrival because I followed UPS tracking and I was home all day with door open. 2 dogs and son playing outside. I checked UPS tracking every 30 minutes and eventually it said delivered. No UPS and no phone. I called UPS the same day and they made an investigation. Also I called Assurant the same day and told them what had happened and they told me I had to wait to see what UPS investigation could find my phone.

    I waited every day for the 7th business day and got a email saying case closed, that I accepted the replacement which I did not. I called Assurant and they told me the first person did not put in a claim and they were put it in and I would have to wait up to 15 business days again. This is BS. I paid the deductible. I never received the phone and I did everything on my end. Now UPS is telling me they are going to escalate another investigation after I made a huge deal about it and I still have to wait. My son is ill and he needs a phone. I've never had any problem like this before. Assurant is a RIP off.

    We had a water-damaged phone. We made a claim. It was an iPhone 8, 64 GB. They sent a replacement, but would not tell me over the phone whether they were going to send a new or refurbished unit - no matter how many times I asked. Of course, they sent a used or refurbished unit, not a new one. It came in T-Mobile packaging, not Apple. Then they said we needed to immediately ship back the replacement unit or we could get charged many hundreds of dollars if we failed to timely do so. So I was EXTRA careful to get it done on time. I used their packaging (First Class Mail - no insurance provided by them) and transmitted it via the U.S. Postal Service from a secure blue box bin in a skyscraper building. I have NEVER had any problems sending anything from this box.

    Guess what? I just got a notice - 2-3 weeks after my mailing it out, that they never got it. The USPS tracking number is showing it as never having been scanned into the system -- which is highly suspicious to me. Assurant is telling me that if they don't get the unit soon, they will charge me up to $1,000 or more -- even though I already paid $250 for the non-new replacement unit!!! What kind of insurance is this? This is a scam.

    They are rude. Unhelpful. And they take a too bad, so sad attitude. The U.S. Postal Service seems to know about them too as the manager of the postal service unit in charge emailed me about the incident and provided specific things to try with Assurant to see if perhaps they DID get the phone and it was misplaced or mis-scanned or whatever. Seems to me like there is something extremely fishy going on here. The Department of Insurance and/or attorney general should investigate. Smells to me like a scam.

    It took me almost a month, and several different call service agents a few involuntary hang ups on their end for the wrong phone to be sent then sent back to them. I've done insurance chains in the past and get were never this difficult. I was told that the computer generated another way to process which was the beginning of this fiasco. It all turned around when an agent by the name off Brooke sat on the phone with me and my wife for about an hour helping us retrieve a pin number that T-Mobile gave us but did not work. Anytime I call in I always give my last four of my social and that day we figured out my old pin # which had never been changed like I requested.

    I purchased my S10+ on March 15 of this year. On April 6th it was dropped and cracked the screen making it unusable. On April 8th we made a claim for the phone to be replaced. We called once or twice a day after that. Each day, we were told that additional information was needed which we provided promptly. On the 4th day, we received an email stating that our claim had been approved. We had been told with each phone call that the phone would be shipped out priority within 24 hours of the approval. I kept checking for that email confirming shipping. I finally called only to be told that my phone was on back order. When I asked about the ETA of the phone, the representative on the phone was unable to give me an answer.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor. The Supervisor was also unable to provide an answer to the question of when the phone would be shipped. (Keep in mind that they charged us immediately after the claim was approved for the deductible.) My husband called later on the same day (Friday) and was told that they expected a shipment of phones to the warehouse on Saturday and that rep felt certain that the phone would be available then.

    On Sunday, I phoned again. I was advised by the supervisor that I requested to speak to that I should continue checking the email for information or check the website to track my claim. Neither of these things will provide me with the answers I seek (ETA on when I will receive the phone which they approved the claim on and I paid the deductible on) so I asked to speak to her supervisor. I was provided with her voicemail on which I left a very detailed message. The initial supervisor informed me that she wasn't sure when she'd be in but I should hear from her within 1-2 business days. (I'll update when I hear from someone.)

    Hello everybody! I would like to do my part to inform as many people as I can into the scam in which this company is. I've had my Galaxy s7 for 2 and a half years now. Paid it off and everything. Over the course of those two and a half years I have paid 12$ monthly premium for the ability to have my phone covered for entirety that I had the phone. That's about 350$ I paid over the course of just having the phone to have insurance. Now I broke my screen and thought, “Hey, I have insurance. I can get it replaced. “So I go to file a claim and my deductible is 175$ for a not even new refurbished gs7.

    I called and ask if this was a mistake and turns out that that's simply how much the deductible is. So I paid off my 900$ phone. Had insurance on it for about 2 and a half years which comes to about 350$ and then on top of that I had to ALSO pay the 175$ deductible. Ohh and I have to return the old phone!!! I could have gone online and purchased a newer unlocked refurbished s8 for 50 bucks more. So basically. If you have Assurant through T-Mobile REMOVE IT NOW. All they will do is collect money from you and then collect even more if you have to unfortunately file a claim through them. Complete and utter overpriced, unhelpful company. I don't even understand how they are still in business.

(Was told to tell and file a claim that I lost it>>when I still had possession of what was left of it?) Was told not covered is what Assurant told me cause I put my sim in another phone & was told that my T-Mobile plane only covers planes that my sim card device is in and to go back to T-Mobile. Assurant had my imei # wrong. Was trying to cover a phone I didn't even have protection on! Or was even from T-Mobile but tried to cover a zte when my phone is a iPhone 7+? Even when my iphone 7+ is still active and I faxed them the original purchase receipt that I had to pay $6.00 to fax!

    So in all I over 22 months I have paid $30.00 a month + $15.00 360 protection & loss/or theft + jump, just to be told "**" pretty much in a rude but professional way. Over 22 months I have paid $308.00 in (Assurant 360 **!)+ $739.00 on a phone I only owe $60.00 on and I'm over a 10 yr customer with a equipment credit limit of $4.320.00---and never filed not one report or claim within that time on 4 lines. I'm going tomorrow to T-Mobile if issue is not resolved. Will cancel all lines and we be filing lawsuit for proper charges. So bottom line if you don't have $1000+ laying around T-Mobile will say anything!

I told her there was no way I could spend another $968 on another phone and I would have to purchase it using my Google credit. She said that wouldn't be a problem and to send them my old phone and the new proof of purchase and I would receive my check.

Today I called them to see where my check is and am told they haven't sent it and now need more information from me. I was hung up on by a supervisor named Christopher.

Then receive an email that they needed the serial number. This company is a legalized scam and I may switched services altogether. Spectrum and myself was on the phone for at least an hour or two yesterday. I may have to swallow the cost of the phone.

Another day or two passes and I get a notice saying I need to upload a copy of the front and back of my ID. I did that as well.

    It is now four business days later and my son's claim went through but they are requesting the account holder's ID, even though I'm an authorized user on the account. I called for an explanation as to why my ID was good enough for my son's claim and not mine. They could not explain it, even when I spoke with a supervisor. I asked to talk to someone above her and was told they could send a message and they'd call me back in 24-48 hours. Either way, they won't process my claim until they get the account holder's ID and it will still take an additional 3-5 business days to process the claim after that!

He quickly noticed his phone wouldn't fast-charge. We then took a few days to verify this by comparing different charging cords and his phone charge speed to that of my phone. We then got in contact with Assurant to ask for assistance.

    The first Assurant agent to help my husband said they could not send him a replacement phone until they had received my husband's. Obviously, this would take a couple days each way and my husband needed that phone for work. On a later call, I learned that they would actually send a replacement as soon as they had confirmation his phone was in the mail. This was not clear to us and very frustrating as we would have done this right away if we had known it would have been fairly quick.

    I then called Assurant as well and the new agent suggested that since it was mechanical issue, we should take it to our provider (Xfinity) for them to look at and make a call on what to do. We went to our local Xfinity store in Grand Rapids, MI as soon as time allowed. The Xfinity workers agreed the phone was in otherwise good condition (no cracked screen at the time) and should be able to be replaced, but there was nothing they could do. They then suggested that since it was a "new" refurbished phone, we should talk to Samsung directly to get it replaced as it should still be under warranty.

    Before we got a chance to call Samsung, my husband pulled the phone out of his pocket one evening shortly thereafter and the phone was cracked and BENT. He did not drop it; there isn't really a single impact mark or a "spider web" of cracks from where it would have hit something. Instead, the crack goes across the top third and all the way around where there are cracks on the phone itself in the back. How does this even happen?! My husband is a slender man and I can't even imagine how having it in his pocket would do that.

    I still called Samsung and they said they might have been able to do something about the charging situation but couldn't do anything about the screen without us having to pay a very high cost for this problem we didn't cause on a phone we just got. We finally called Assurant again. Again, they also told us there was nothing Assurant could do, especially now that it had been so long from our claim. This was particularly annoying as we had been trying to do the right thing from the start and they kept walking us in circles about the bad phone they sent us.

    I liked the online application for my claim. However, after my claim was approved they sent out a broken phone. Which my daughter then shipped to me in Mexico (as I am in Mexico on business) which cost 142.00 USD to find out the phone didn't work. I had to call T-Mobile and file a claim with my warranty on the new broken phone and ship yet another phone to Mexico at 179.00USD. This is ridiculous. I had to spend 150USD just to file a claim. So-- I actually I've already paid over 500USD just to replace my phone.

    I filled an online claim and paid the deductible. The next day my replacement was home with means to return the old machine. Communication was good, and the phone I received is working well. I am very satisfied with my transaction. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that the new phone didn't bring a charger (which is what makes sense). Other than that, very smooth.

    It is interesting to see very similar complaints as mine on here, and in the same time frame. On 3-25-2019, I put a claim in for a damaged phone. My phone isn't functioning, this is a business related phone, and there has been financial impact from my still no having a phone 5 days later. I too, am in a review status with no information being released. It took me 2 times of giving and verifying a working number for them to correspond with me, and they were still trying to use the non-working number as the updated contact number. I'm trying to replace a phone that isn't working, and they are calling me on that phone. I was given 2 hour time frames that I would hear something back, no communication, and when I call 2.5-3 hours later, I'm told that it will take up to 24 hours. I understand at times processes need to take place for different circumstances, however the customer service impact with the lack of communication is frustrating and very poor at best.

    As a contracted employee, this has hindered my employment, which impacts my personal life, and will result in a change of my service provider due to their poor decision to affiliate with a company of this nature. For the record, I'm 42 years old and have never filled out a comment card, survey, review of any sort due to poor service.

    I’ve been with T-mobile for over 5 years, never ran across with them since I've had service with them until January 3, 2019 when my phone was stolen. I filed a claim with Assurant. Few days went by and I noticed that the deductible still had not been taken off my account. I logged in to Assurant to see what was going on and it required me to send in a picture of my Drivers License/Identification Card, I personally went inside of the T-mobile store and had them submit my License on their store's tablet. Few more days fo by still no charge to my card so I call Assurant and they tell me that they need the paper receipt copy of when I purchased the phone????

    Here I am confused wondering why there’s no copy in their system and T-mobile system because I no longer had the print sheet of paper they handed me when I got the phone a while back, so here I am today still with NO phone because I didn't have a receipt and they're still charging me for a phone I reported stolen.

    Put in a claim on Monday 3.25.19, no update 3 days later. Called several times and all they can say is the specialist team is working on it. They had to change my claim from a 24 hr delay to 3-5 days for further review. It's a simple claim, screen is cracked just need a replacement. I rarely need to put in a claim, the customer support staff cannot tell me why they need to review it further, neither can the floor supervisor. This is ridiculous, I pay for this service every month and can't even get a claim processed in a timely manner.

    The device I put in a claim for is the only phone I own, waiting a week for a new one is ridiculous. I have been with T-mobile for almost 10 years, I will be considering a new cell phone company who does not have Assurant as their insurance carrier after this. Although the support staff was very kind it seems as though there is no transparency between them and the specialist team as they could not thoroughly answer my questions, very dissatisfied.

    My son cracked the screen on his iPhone, so we filed a claim with Assurant and they sent us a replacement phone, as well as a box to return the damaged phone in. We returned the phone via UPS and got a receipt with tracking information. When my next bill from T-mobile came, I was being charged $401.99 for the phone that we had returned! Assurant reps claimed that they received the box but it was empty. Dealing with customer service from both T-mobile and Assurant became an ordeal that went on for almost a week and many frustrating hours on the phone.

    Finally, a supervisor with T-mobile agreed to remove the charge from my bill. I have since looked at reviews for Assurant and there are many complaints about being ripped off by this company, including others exactly like mine, with them claiming that the box they received was empty! Their customer service reps were also very rude and refused to even try to come to some resolution with me. The T-mobile customer reps were very nice, and while they did finally resolve the issue, it was a major headache for me to say the least, and took way too long! I don't know why in the world T-mobile continues to partner with such a dishonest company. They are definitely going to lose me as a customer after 12 years because of it!

When I checked the claim process, the claim status it said that "This claim is no longer being processed." So I had to call again and restart the process. The replacement device quit working after one day and in order to get another replacement I have to call again, await 24 hours for a shipping label, and then call once FedEx picks up the package before they will ship another device. They don't ship over weekends, etc. And the only way to really connect with them is via phone and when your phone doesn't work, is broken, or stolen...

    I am very pleased that Assurant worked with us on the phone issue. I realize that not returning the old phone was a problem, but, honestly, we contacted the police as Assurant suggested, contacted our camera company for footage for the police and did everything we possibly could on our end. Thanks to Consumer Affairs for this opportunity and thanks to Assurant for their fast response. We will not be putting anything else in our mailbox.

    We put the return phone in our mailbox and someone stole it. I called and told Assurant what happened. She said to get a police report. I called and provided the police with footage of the theft. I called Assurant back and told them it might take time for the report to get through the system. He said they would work with us. No problem. Called them today after picking up the police report and Assurant won't honor what they said. They don't want the report. We have to pay full price of phone. I'm very angry. It wouldn't be so bad if two reps and their supervisors hadn't said different. Liars, liars, liars.

    My phone stopped taking charge the other day. On that same day I went to T-Mobile and they told me to call Assurant. It is usually through an automatic caller but I forgot my pin so I talked to a representative. The first representative hanged up due to technological issues. I then called again with the help of the T-Mobile representative and the process for filling with Assurant was quite fast. The only problem I had was with T-Mobile since I had to file it twice because of incorrect advice from their representative. I also had trouble with accessing my Apple ID. Assurant told me it will take 5-7 days for the new phone to arrive, but it actually came overnight. I am extremely grateful at how relatively fast everything was and it made all my previous trouble worth it.

    Over two years of very gentle use of my zMAX Pro and the charger quit working. I plugged it in but it would not completely charge and the connection would not stay.

It freezes up constantly and drives me freaking crazy. So I called T-Mobile again and another phone is being sent to my house this week. I hope I'm not getting into an endless game with Assurant.

I am waiting for a large reimbursement because your company couldn't process my claim under the standard process. It has been over ten business days. The defective phone has been sitting at your warehouse for 6 of those. I went out and purchased the replacement device, I had to wait for the return label, I had to send proof of purchase, I had to go to the post office and send back the defective device because I didn't have a box to send it to your company because you didn't send me a replacement.

    Now I find out that the device I sent you is still in the warehouse pending processing. Today I am told once it's processed and confirmed it will be 10 business days before my reimbursement is processed and mailed to me. Instead of paying the $99 deductible and sending back the defective device I had to jump through hoops. I am now waiting for you to pay me back. Shame on your company, their practices and for making the policyholder to be the one to pay for it.

I was told that could only be done by written mail because they would not give phone number or email. I then received an email stating the claim was denied because after "thorough investigation the material facts pertaining to the claim were misrepresented."

    The facts were that I had the phone in my back pocket and fell on my butt on black ice. The screen was shattered. How did they investigate or find the facts to be misrepresented?

    I stuck paying a $300 fee because they did not include the return shipping label. I called and asked them what can they do about it and the customer service person said it's their fault that it wasn’t included in the box but it’s my fault that I didn’t call before now and that there is nothing they can do about it.

    I'm really shocked by all of these negative reviews. In a ten year period I have had to utilize Assurant for a broken phone 3-4 times (between me and my then spouse) and it's always been effortless, a quick process and without it I would have been without a phone. If you are HONEST, DETAILED and NOT USING THIS EXCESSIVELY, you will have a great experience. It's not cheap, but neither are these phones. And yes, you do need to pay your deductible before your claim can be filed (of course!) It's been a lifesaver for me!

    I cracked my screen. It wasn’t a horrible crack, but it was cracked nonetheless and I have insurance, so I made a claim. The first time I called the rep told me she put in a claim and someone will call me within 24 hours. No one called so five days later I called them. On that phone call I was told they overnight a new phone (maybe refurbished, maybe new) for a one time fee of JUST $244. I exclaimed that I was not paying for a new phone just because of a crack. I was told I could pay $29 for a repair. My phone is working just fine so why pay that money. The rep then closed that claim for a new phone and opened a brand new claim for a repair. I was told once again that I would get a call within 24 hours.

    Once again no one called so I called 2 days later. That rep told me they were waiting for me to pay my deductible of $31.58 ($29+tax) so they could send me a new phone. I explained that I did not want a new phone. I just wanted a repair. I further explained that I WAS NOT PAYING FOR A NEW PHONE when the phone I have works just fine, it just has a crack. At that point I was scheduled for a repair at a Sprint store the next day. Went into the Sprint store for my scheduled appointment and was told that they DO NOT do repairs to iPhones, but it would have to be mailed to Apple and returned to me 7-10 days later.

    While in the Sprint store I called back Assurant to ask why they would send me on a wild goose chase? I requested a supervisor and was transferred to a rep in the “CEO’s office”. Once I explained my frustration with the incompetency of the company I was told I could get a new phone (maybe refurbished, maybe new) once I paid my deductible ($29+tax) and no extra fee. The phone would be shipped right away and received in 1 to 2 business days AT NO EXTRA COST. I paid my deductible and now I’m waiting for the phone (maybe refurbished, maybe new). WHY DO THEY NOT KNOW IF THE PHONE IS NEW OR REFURBISHED? In any case, I’m praying that ALL goes well.

When I called they said they received an empty box back. I asked what my options were and they said I would be charged for the device because the box was delivered completely sealed and that no claim thru USPS could be filed because of this.

    I purchased a OnePlus 5 with Assurant phone insurance thinking it was a good idea. I was wrong. This company is a scam, they NEVER planned on having any devices to exchange for if I needed a claim. When I called to get an exchange for my broken phone they offered me a check. I told them I did not want a check mainly because the amount they offered would not get me a new phone. It would be cheaper to never have purchased this scam insurance and just pay for phone repairs out of pocket. The reps were NOT helpful and a supervisor I talked to acted like a robot. Not a customer friendly company. Will never do business with them again and I advise all others to stay away.

    T-Mobile should have some type of protection for their customers since this is the only insurance they offer. I was offered Assurant insurance by T-Mobile. I file a claim with Assurant 2-5-19 in the morning. It is now 5-7-19 in the evening and I am still in between calls with T-Mobile and Assurant and Nothing seems to get done. I called Assurant the very next day after submitting my claim online with them and asked them why I didn't received my phone in the mail, the website says next day delivery if filed Monday - Friday. I was told they tried to contact me and I didn't answer. "How dumb do they sound." Of course I'm not gonna answer. I don't have my phone.

    I was told I needed to send a copy of my bill from T-Mobile, I explained I don't have a bill from T-Mobile because my account is set up to paperless billing and auto pay. I don't even look at my bill. By not having my phone I don't have usernames or passwords to access my account because is all stored in my phone. I had to reset my password with my T-Mobile account to get my billing statement and took a screenshot of it because I don't have a printer or scanner or fax machine. I submitted the screenshots of my bill online at tmoclaim.com and uploaded the documents requested. I wait 'til the next day. No one from Assurant contacts me. I had to contact them again and when I finally speak to someone I was told they will not accept my screenshots. They want the original bill.

    When you are going through a hard situation like this they are definitely not there to help. They're only there to make your situation ten times worse!! I am far beyond frustrated with them at this point. I told T-Mobile I will be disconnecting services with them simply to not have to deal with this insurance company. Only then did they try to help by sending the bill directly to them, at least I thought they did because 4 hours later I contact Assurant again to ask when is my phone getting here and they told me they have not received anything from T-Mobile!!! I am so frustrated right now, but they won't even refund my money I've been paying to them every month for my phone insurance. With all the money I've been paying them every month I will have enough money right now to pay for a new iPhone 7. They are definitely not here to help!

    I believe T-Mobile should have some type of protection towards their customers being that they are the ones who offer Assurant insurance to their customers! If anyone could recommend a phone carrier who does not offer Assurant for phone insurance please let me know. I have never had any trouble with T-Mobile in the past. I've had T-Mobile for more than a decade now but I refuse to deal with this company again.

    By far the WORSE I've ever dealt with. They have wrong deductible in their system for T-Mobile. I've gone over 8 hours one day since I've filed claim Dec 31 18. To date still can't get claim fulfilled because they can't "figure out" how to correct. Went to store T-mobile was able to get to I.T. and assured me a callback with correct deductible of 49 not 100. I have over 112 plus hours in calls in just 2 weeks with no success yet. They never call back as promised and never stop passing back and forth excuses. I've never been on phone less than 2 hours.

    Can't understand what they are saying, hold times are ridiculous, their errors are always blamed on where you purchase product and they will not resolve anything. They even changed the date of my claim and then switched it back to original date? No clue why I screenshot everything. Don't get anything If this is the insurance option. The stress time and errors they cause are not worth it. Companies continue losing business because of their incompetence. No clue why they are still an option.

Company is a joke. As soon as you need a replacement they try to find any red tape even after paying for their stupid insurance for over 4 years but I guess that’s typical since that's how insurance works.

    Unfortunately this is my second horrible experience with this company. First time through T-Mobile and now through Xfinity but the same go around. The company continues to send nonworking phones for a replacement. Once the replacement phone is received and not working properly you must resend the replacement before they will send another replacement. Called and spoke to one person who completely falsified the notes, called back spoke with Natasha which can't tell you anything except, "Send the phone before we replace the garbage replacement we sent you."

    Asked for a supervisor because clearly someone should understand what an inconvenience this is to go without a phone, to make multiple trips to the post office, to call and be on hold over and over but no. Spoke to Austin in charge and was told to wait until Monday (another 5 days) and the phone out then... What! HORRIBLE customer service!

    My phone died, it is a Samsung Note 5, I called Assurant to file a claim. I have paid insurance on this phone for approx. 3-4 years. I gave them the date of 11/25/18 as the date the phone died. My son later advised me that the date my phone actually died was the day before Thanksgiving, 11/22/18. They denied my claim stating that because I gave them the wrong date and the SIM card was not in the covered device, my claim is not covered. I put the SIM card in an old phone with a broken screen so that I would have access to my office. I do not understand why the location of my SIM card matters, since my phone was DEAD. Additionally, if the date has to be the exact date, the reps should advise consumers that the exact date is required or it will affect the claim. When the rep asked me to confirm the date, I said "it sounds about right" without checking the calendar or confirming with my relatives.

    Regardless, once I confirmed the date with my son, why can't the date be amended? This is just an unfair practice which allows Assurant to not pay claims while collecting hundreds of dollars in premiums. They told me I had to pay $99 for the deductible at the time I filed the claim. My phone online is valued at $159, with the $99 deductible, the cost of replacing my phone would be $60 plus shipping to Assurant and since the replacement phones are refurbished, I guarantee the cost to them is even less. The reasons given to not replace my phone are unfair, irrelevant and excuses used to rob the consumer. I will no longer maintain insurance on my phone, this is a legal scam.

    I filed a claim with Assurant on 11/25. After being put through much hassle to send in requested documentation, the claim was approved on 11/28. I sent in the requested information the very same day I received the e-mail requesting it. It took several submissions of the same documents via e-mail and the online upload tool before they confirmed they had what was needed. I was told that all claims approved before 8:30 P CST would be shipped same day, expedited. I did not receive any shipping confirmation that day. I called the next morning to let them know that I had not heard anything although the e-mail indicated I would receive shipping confirmation within "24 hours". This is when I found out that they hadn't send confirmation because they do not have the device in stock to send to me.

    I proceed to ask when it would be, only for them to tell me they have no idea, could be a couple days or a couple of weeks. Highly unsatisfactory. The website stated that in the event your model/make is not available they would send a comparable device, which I inquired about. The representative advised that there wasn't one available. After escalating the call to a supervisor in Assurant, is when I was actually told he had no idea when they would be getting the phones in the warehouse, and that there was nothing that could be done as there was "no comparable device to a galaxy s9+".

    Highly dissatisfied and unacceptable. Their one job is to replace phones and they can't even do that. Of course, this is after they have already charged my card $200 for the deductible on a device that they cannot even fulfill.

    I cracked the screen on my phone Note 8, and filed a claim on 8/24/18 to have it replaced. I paid the replacement fee and received my phone overnight. Great, right? WRONG. I returned my damaged phone in the envelope provided immediately. I went about my business with my replacement phone, thinking all was well. About a month later, I get a letter from Assurant stating that my phone was never received. So I call to find out what was going on. They assured me that the tracking number on the phone showed that the phone was received on 9/4/18 at the warehouse, and they just had not scanned it in for some reason.

    They also told me not to worry and to disregard the letter because they had the phone and I would not be charged. Great, right? WRONG. I get ANOTHER letter the next month, saying the same thing as the last - that my phone had not been received and I could be charged the full replacement value, blah blah blah. But I disregard the letter, because Assurant had already told me to do so, and confirmed that they received the phone.

    The NEXT month, I get the SAME letter... and I disregard it again, thinking maybe the letters are just being mailed out by mistake. Then in November I see a charge dated 11/7/18 on my T-Mobile bill for $528 for not returning the phone. So I'm like WTF and call Assurant to ask about this. They tell me that they see that the phone was received, but they don't know why it hadn't been scanned in yet. So they put in a request for more information and tell me to call back in a few days to get an update.

    I call back and the representative tells me that even though they see that the phone was returned, the $528 charge is VALID, because they were unable to scan the phone and verify the IMEI number on it. I ask why, and they tell me that the condition that the phone was in when it was received, prevented them from being able to scan the phone, and therefore the $528 charge is valid. So I'm pissed, and ask what condition it was received in, because I did EVERYTHING I was supposed to do. If the post office delivered it in a condition that is different from what I dropped it off in, that's not my problem. That's what USPS insurance is for, and that's between Assurant and the USPS, NOT ME. They tell me that I need to work it out with T-Mobile, because their hands are now tied. I ask to speak to a supervisor, and was refused and hung up on.

    So I call T-Mobile, and got a really nice rep on the phone. I'm crying at this point, because who the hell has $528 to pay for a phone that isn't even my possession anymore? The rep calls Assurant on 3-way, and that Assurant rep tells us the same thing the last one told me. That the charge is valid because they couldn't scan the phone. Mind you, the IMEI number is available behind the battery. If my phone got ran over by a car and smashed, they wouldn't be able to scan anything either, but they can still verify the IMEI from the inside of the phone.

    Anyways, T-Mobile is on my side. They're asking the same questions I had just asked, because it makes zero sense that Assurant acknowledges receiving my phone, but adamant on charging me a no-return fee because they can't scan it into the system. The Assurant rep tells us there's NOTHING they can do, that the charge is valid and that's that.

    So the T-Mobile rep asks to speak to a supervisor... They transfer us to a supervisor. The supervisor looks at the notes on my claim and agrees that I shouldn't be charged because they received the phone. She says that it appeared they received into the warehouse AND that it was scanned in, BUT they didn't tag the phone until AFTER 90 days. And 90 days is when they charge you the no-return fee. So basically, someone NOT doing their job resulted in my being charged $528!

    So the supervisor says she will put in a request to get the charge removed, but warns me that it's not guaranteed. So now I have to wait to see if it gets approved and removed from my account. Meanwhile I have to work with T-Mobile to see if they can issue a temporary credit or hold on my account for that amount, so that I can just pay my normal bill and not have my service disconnected because it's less than the whole bill. This is a complete mess, and unacceptable. Assurant needs to do better. And given that I've seen so many similar stories, they better hope they don't end up with a class action lawsuit against them.

It all started with a broken screen, which I tried to replace using AppleCare since I had opted for the more expensive insurance plan that included it according to T-Mobile. At the Apple store I was told that my iPhone had no AppleCare and that I had to go through Assurant instead.

    I paid my deductible and once I received the replacement phone (a refurbished device that keeps crashing and has a worst battery life than the one sent in) then I placed the broken device in the mail. When I called T-Mobile to figure out what was going on, they seem to have received the empty box where I mailed the phone in, but the phone itself was missing, so now they want me to file a claim with USPS to get my money back.

I have to pay the same every month, but Assurant can change their rates at will, and you either shut up and pay it, or you can cancel the coverage, and have to pay out of pocket should something happen.

    If they want to change rates, they should at least have to wait until your term is up, like ALL other insurance is. And, I wasn't told about this increase by anyone. It just showed up on my new bill. I'm on a fixed income, and this is so not right that they can do this. I'm going to drop my coverage on principal alone.

    This situation is still pending a final outcome. I have Xfinity mobile phone service and pay for insurance through them. Assurant is the company they use. I filed a claim in 10/28/18 for a broken LG Stylo 4. They put a $1 hold on my debit card. On the 30th I realized I probably listed the wrong model of phone because they only list a set of letters and numbers not the actual types of phones. I sent an email via their site to inform of the correct model. No response. On 11/1/18 I sent another email via their site because we had not heard anything. Probably about 11am that was sent.

    Around 8pm I received an email stating the model was not covered. I call Assurant that night and spoke with a nice gentleman who updated my account with the correct model because apparently the email on the 30th was not enough to do so. The next day the $1 hold was off the card. No contact from the company. The fast claim site just read model pending.

    On 11/7 I called Assurant again to find out why nothing was happening. The gentleman was again very nice but the option given is unacceptable. I'm told that they do not have a Stylo 4 phones in stock and have no idea when they will get any in. They have no other phone they can provide. I can go to the store and BUY a new phone outright and send them a receipt that will take 24 hours to process and then in 10 days I will receive a refund check for up to $250 plus taxes minus my deductible. So instead of spending just for $40 for the deductible I am supposed to spend over $200 on a phone I currently have on a payment plan because I can't buy one outright and then wait over 2 weeks for a check.

    I spoke with Xfinity mobile themselves who were shocked by this but after much time and a 3 way phone call confirmed this was my only option for a replacement phone. Xfinity was waiting for a supervisor to come in to see if they could do anything to help. They did have me call Assurant back to speak with a supervisor to see if they knew of a delivery for phones or if they would waive the deductible because it had been over a week and a half and they didn't even make contact with me about the situation. I was told no one knows when there will be any phones and the deductible is non-negotiable. After she first tried to tell me how they did email me and then decided that no that only responded to my email.

    I am very angry because their contract says they have to provide me with a new phone. Nowhere does it say I have to buy a new phone (and if I don't want to spend so much up front I need to buy a downgrade!) And then wait and hope they send a check. And how do I pay bills and groceries in that time. I may be filing a complaint with the NH insurance regulation per the contract I have with Assurant. I feel they have failed to make their end of the agreement.

    Thanks for your vote!
