Went to Assurant and received a replacement phone, Galaxy S9 Plus. Everything seemed ok but when I finally started to use the phone everyone tells me I sound funny or that they can't hear me. I sure there's something wrong with the speaker. I really hate swapping a new phone for abused one.
Terrence, if you are experiencing issues with your replacement device, please reach out to us via private message. Include your full name, claim, and phone number.

I didn't appreciate the customer care telling me to go to the store to finish my claim and after leaving work early and wasting gas. And delaying me getting a replacement. It was a waste of time. Poor customer service and T-Mobile too.
Tamicka, we apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Thank you for your feedback.

This is the first mobile phone that I have misplaced and I have owned cell phones since 1996. I dreaded the experience of working with insurance to get a replacement. The experience was five star. It was easy to contact someone and a new phone arrived the next day. Thank you!

Customer Representatives were friendly, kind, and patient while I explained my issue with my damage cell phone. They explained the process in a polite manner, which was simple and easy.

Waited eight days for new phone to ship and was told there was a problem with my claim. But nobody could tell me what the problem was. I was told that department only received US mail. NO phone calls. Ridiculous. Not worth the monthly fees that I wasted. Never again will I be a customer. Buy a good case for your phone and save the monthly fee. By time you factor in the deductible you might as well buy your own replacement phone.. Joe.

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.

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'm very disappointed in ASSURANT but I am very thankful for Ms. Brooke! She is the epitome of what true customer service is about.

Absolutely horrible. Don't waste your money! They don't send you the correct replacement phone.

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.

I went online to make a claim it was Friday evening so I knew I wouldn't get my phone til Monday. Monday came and went and no phone. I call in and told my payment didn't go through which was odd. I thought that was dumb that I didn't get a notice to let me know my payment wasn't excepted at the time of payment and to try again. Instead it just let me wait til Monday when I was expecting it and had to call in to see what was going on. After speaking with customer I received my phone the next day that was a plus I was upgraded to a SG6.
The only problem was I couldn't charge my phone. My old charge SG5 didn't work on the SG6. I had to call back and this lady that helped was telling me I didn't get a charger that I had to use my old one. She was rude about it. I had to be a lil forceful to explain that I knew that but they sent me an upgrade and didn't use the same one. She then had one sent overnight. Other than that I was pleased with the service.

Recently I lost my iPhone, I reported the phone lost and made a claim with Assurant. Filled out the online form and claim was pending. Next day when I checked my email the claim was denied with a reason of "Find My iPhone must be switched on prior to the device being lost or stolen". Since the find my iPhone was turned on I called their claim department. I was told that the reason why the claim was denied is known to them and that I will have to contact the corporate office in WRITING. So Apple does did not disclose to me that their AppleCare is actually thru a 3rd party provider and I have to contact corporate office thru WRITING.

So I lost my phone and I found it demolished in the street. Took my Ziplock bag of what was left of my phone to T-Mobile. (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! They told me to say I lost my phone and I'm not going to take that because I was told to make a false report and was stupid and will get a lawyer tomorrow... Bottom line T-Mobile--Assurant they will railroad you!!! If you let them!!!

I started my claim on December 31, 2018. When I called the woman I spoke to was very nice in helping me get the claim started. She told me that at the time they did not have any of my phone Pixel 3 XL in stock and I should purchase it and they would reimburse me. 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.
Flash forward... I get an approval email on Feb 15. I call March 22 to see where my check is. I am told it is on the way and that it will be to me no later than April 5. 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. I have now faxed the info over for them again. I was told to check back in 24hrs. We will see.

I place a claim on the 2nd and gave them the IMEI number over the phone and then they ask for the order receipt and then they wanted the IMEI written on the order receipt and then they still say they do not have it and I send it again. 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. But I will do a petition and get different ones to sign it and send it to the CEO of Spectrum for them to review their contract with them. They may need to partner with someone else who can help them to build their service clientele.

After 2.5 weeks of filing my claim with no updates on my claim I had to call them and they requested to send a copy of my ID, so I did that even though I never had to do that before. Then a few days later asked me for a copy of my phone bill and wait a few days. I called and spent a few useless and frustrating hours speaking with supervisors that are helpless saying all of this is for MY security and ($50 deductible) fraud prevention. Now I sent a copy of my bill and will wait a few more days without a phone. I could have easily taken it to a cellphone repair shop and have it fixed the same day and cheaper, and not receive a reconstructed phone. Definitely canceling this awful service.

Was not very happy. Took much longer than it was supposed to to get my replacement. When I called in about it everything was ok till they put me through to the automated payment center where my call got disconnected. I tried to call back but could not get through. Then when I finally did get through to pay for my phone & it was on its way, according to tracking info someone from Assurant called FedEx to have them return the phone before it was delivered. I then had to call in again and after 30 minutes on the phone they sent me one that did arrive. No offers of any kind of compensation for the delay was offered at all. I paid a $175.00 deductible to have my claim handled this way.

This company is terrible. They make it so complicated to process your claim that you want to just give up. I filed a claim for my phone as well as my son's. After several phone calls and days, I was told I needed to submit a copy of the first page of the phone bill. I did that. 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! The hoops you have to jump through are ridiculous and I can't recommend them at all!

My husband filed a claim for a phone on our account at the very end of January 2019 and they quickly sent him a replacement phone, which was the one good thing they did. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I broke my phone. Cracked the screen actually, and called in to T-Mobile. They got me over to their insurance company Assurant. And right away made the claim. It got approved and once I paid the deductible my phone was shipped to me next day! I sent back the old phone. They received and sent me an email. And everything was totally smooth and effortless. So after all the reviews I read on here I was happily surprised! Just wanted to give my feedback so people know not everyone has the same experience and not to worry. They do take very good care of you and the devices.

I am extremely disappointed with the service I've been getting with Assurant. I gave my damage device to the mail carrier and now Assurant is stating they never received it. They provided a return label number in which USPS is stating that it was never created in their system. This is horrible for me because now there is a device out there that is probably sitting in Assurant's warehouse and I'm being screwed! I am for sure looking into a class action lawsuit because this is ridiculous to say the least.

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.

I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer. I recently got a new iPhone from T-Mobile and was insured under Assurant. I lost my phone and gene I filed the claim, the Assurant insurance company denied the claim. They would give different reason every time and weren’t very helpful. I went to T-Mobile store and the representative was very helpful and sorted it out. Bottom line it’s not worth having Assurant insurance. It’s painstaking even to deal with them.

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.

Honestly Assurant is garbage. They are not on the same page as T-Mobile. I had agents from T-Mobile tell me one thing and when speaking to an Assurant agent they completely contradict it and when I point it out their supervisor gets an angry tone and then to “ease” the situation he makes it seem like a joke. 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. Try to pay the least possible and save the most money for the company and screw the customer.

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. So I am at this moment, STUCK without any type of phone to use until further notice. Thanks to this piss-poor, abysmal, poor excuse of an phone insurance company. If I could give them a "0" star-rating, I would.

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.

I don't even know where to begin here.

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. Doesn't this sound a lot like a scam? Someone needs to look up what goes on with these terrible phone insurance companies.

I looked at my new phone bill, and just like that the insurance went up $2 a month on each phone. 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. The whole cellphone industry is just a big money machine for these companies.

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.

I called the company and they said that yes, they could see the phone was delivered on Sept. 4th but according to the warehouse, they had no idea where it was. I was assured that it was their mistake and I would not be charged.
On October 15th I received another letter stating that they would charge me if the phone was not returned. I called and was told that the package was located on September 26th and found to be empty. If this is true, that means it was missing in their warehouse for 22 days and mysteriously appeared 2 days after my first call when it was found to be empty. After multiple calls with numerous "supervisors" I was told my only option was to open an investigation with the post office (even though it was lost on Assurant's watch for almost a month). They said that I could write a letter to corporate but that corporate does NOT have a phone number and they do NOT have an email.
I plan to write this letter but if the situation is not resolved, I will cancel my family plan with T-Mobile as they should not be selling scam insurance with their plans.

After purchasing a phone and protection plan through T-Mobile, Assurant changed coverage amounts and deductibles, not abiding by the agreements at time of purchase. This is just a bait and switch scam. The phone I purchased was, and still is valued at $350. According to the Tier structure published by Assurant, that makes my phone a Tier 2, $50 deductible and $9/mo premium. I have been paying the $9 premium, but when filing a claim my phone is suddenly considered a Tier 3 phone, with a $100 deductible. Last time I checked, the definition of bait and switch is as follows: "the action (generally illegal) of advertising goods that are an apparent bargain, with the intention of substituting inferior or more expensive goods." This review strictly considers the customer relations of Assurant alone, and is not a reflection of my dealings with T-Mobile.

I did not get my deductible back until September 5th!! Her phone was now stolen, and filed a claim on October 3rd 2018, and now they are "reviewing". It has been the "5 day review process" and still nothing. T-Mobile needs to drop these sorry people/company!! People need to know how bad they really are!! Do NOT pay for Assurant insurance!!! They suck!!!

I dropped my phone and destroyed the screen, so I filed a claim with Assurant which I had paid for over one year. First off, I was charged a 100 dollar deductible... given that the phone cost 250 when I bought it, this seemed steep, but I paid it. One month after I had returned my phone I received a letter stating that I would receive an additional charge if I didn't return the device. Fortunately I had a tracking number and called the company. They confirmed that they did indeed receive the device and I would not be charged further. However, a couple weeks later I again received a letter again threatening charges if I didn't return the device. Called again and confirmed its receipt.
That was in July. Fast forward to October and I have a 138 dollar charge on my T-Mobile bill because they supposedly don't have the device. I called their customer service for the third time and when I confronted them about this scam they are running the customer service rep became VERY rude. They said they would refund this fraudulent charge... remains to be seen. They have currently charged me more than the cost of the phone, sent me a poor quality replacement (some refurbished phone with sticky buttons) and have horrible service with fraudulent charges. If I could give a negative rating I would. They are the worst experience I have ever had with a company, hands down.

Never really had any problems with insurance companies. The people who answer the phones can't really do anything. As in they are not privileged to. Filed on the 16th. They denied my ID. Nothing wrong with it. Filed it again on the 19th. Called on the 24th. They were told they just got the claim... And have no access to do anything with it. Assurant can go screw itself.

You are probably are reading this because your claim was DENIED by Assurant. I like others here were denied claims due to their rules were not followed (even though they are not mentioned in the policy). Please do your homework before you purchase this plan for $12.00 monthly. My claim was denied because I didnt file it in a timely manner and I had removed the SIM card and placed it in a spare iPhone that was working. So, I have wasted all the premium payments of over 2 years for this BS excuse not to cover a claim. They will find any excuse to deny your claim request.
Read the other consumer reviews and see for yourself all the negative feedback (about 99.1 percent). There needs to be a class action lawsuit filed against this company. So many consumers have been ripped off by them. They don't even deserve a 1 star rating. It should be a 0. T-Mobile needs to drop this third party insurer before it hurts their reputation. I don't see how they get away with this SCAM!!!

I broke my brand new Galaxy S9 phone screen. I filed a claim on the 8/18/2018. I’ve had to call and follow up every day. They gave me a runaround every phone call. They didn’t bother to call or email any follow-up info. They needed the original receipt so provided it, 3 times. They needed the IMEI number of my Xfinity mobile app. They already had the number but they needed to know if I knew the number. All that still wasn’t good enough. It’s now 9/4/2018. I still have no phone and no answer. I am beyond frustrated with this company. I spoke to another woman this morning and she actually ignored my complaints and started laughing at someone in the background. Completely unprofessional. I have service through Comcast which I will be canceling because of this Assurant company.

A very helpful agent named Shelly called to tell me that my phone was indeed under warranty and I had received faulty information in that regard. I am still not happy that I have to use the warranty as I'd much prefer to have the phone working properly to begin with, but I will say that Assurant was on top of social media complaints. I got a call back within an hour. So as far as working with the company to get this resolved, I'll update to 4- stars.

Assurant "insurance" is a scam. I bought "insurance" on my Galaxy Note 4 through T-Mobile. I paid on it long past the time my phone was paid off because it's not like anyone at T-Mobile or Assurant says, "Hey did you realize that you're wasting your money by continuing to pay for this?" Regardless, my Note 4 died and I called Assurant to replace my phone. I paid $175 (deductible) for a refurbished Note 5 (which, btw, NEW costs $150). So my $150 Note 5 has cost me about $600 at this point. Inside my packaging I received a little card that said I had a 180-day warranty on the phone. So I wasn't too worried, thinking that if the phone was crap, at least I'd have 6 months to return/replace it.
About a month to two months in, the battery started dying much too quickly. So I call Assurant, thinking they'd be able to replace the piece of crap refurbished phone they sent me - or at the VERY least replace the battery. I went through the whole phone process - until at the very end they asked how I'd like to pay for the $175 deductible! They literally told me I'd have to pay ANOTHER $175 to replace it (most likely with another piece of crap refurbished phone). They told me that they could only have replaced the other one within 7 days of my having received it.
So let me get this straight, you are sending me a refurbished phone that you only guarantee will work for ONE WEEK?!?! The customer service agent told me I could talk to T-Mobile about it. When I spoke to T-Mobile, they didn't know why the 180-day warranty card was even in the packaging because Assurant doesn't warranty the replacement phone. So now I've paid hundreds of dollars for literally nothing. Assurant is a scam company and I will write reviews everywhere I can telling everyone I can not to waste their money.

I have a $300 (not so expensive) HTC phone that was damaged when I dropped it. I pay for insurance and have had T-Mobile phone service for ten plus years. I went through the steps for a replacement phone and the process should be a lot faster being that I need my phone. It took several days to receive the replacement because no products are shipped over the weekends. When the replacement came it was damaged and I had to send the replacement phone back leaving me several more days without a phone Grrrrr...
Then I'm getting letters that my original phone has not been sent back and I could be charged for the total cost of the phone. I call and tell them both phones the damaged replacement and my original phone that was broke were both sent back. They did not see one being checked in. After time spent on the phone informing them both phone were sent it was later determined that I was not trying to keep a broken phone and had sent it back. This whole experience was a joke. Very disappointed in the service. It would be better to exchange the phone in the store, given a replacement phone on sight and have the store deal with you people! Two thumbs DOWN!

Really liked TMobile, but loathed the service at ASSURANT. On Aug. 20, after being on the phone nearly an hr and half 2 representatives, told me I could get a replacement phone in 6 days.

Because, I have had 2 replacements within a 12 month period.
One of the phones they sent stopped working on it's on, I even went to a local shop to see if they could tell me if they could fix it. They said it was shot, and looked refurbished. So, not my fault. So really, only had one phone in 12 months. But could not get a replacement until Oct. 2018. It is only Aug. 26, 2018.

My son leased an LG K20 from T-Mobile, it's not a very expensive phone. When he stepped out of a vehicle it fell out of his pocket and was ran over by a truck. The front cover of the phone shattered and the battery was bent. He put in a claim, received the new phone. He received the return addressed package and put the back piece and battery inside. He took it to the post office and sent it. I received a letter later saying the phone had not been returned and I would be charged if not returned. I called and was told that the phone was showing up as being received. About a week later I received another letter saying it was not received. Now I am confused and a little angry.
I called back and was told the package came in empty. I could not understand why someone would even send an empty package, especially through the post office. How do you prove you sent a phone in. The phone was totally destroyed and no reason to keep it. Is the warehouse going be the final authority for this, are we going to lose every time this happens. My son was going to return the new phone to T-Mobile to keep me from paying for 2 phones but could not do that either, I guess it's a lose-lose situation. I found out they don't even sell the K20 in the store. Maybe they are trying to make money from overstocked phones, who knows.

If I can give 0 stars I would... I had to activate an older phone on my line after my phone fell and the screen broke. I travel a lot for work and had no time to actually file a claim with them. When filing the claim I gave them a date that I thought was more or less correct about when the phone broke. During their checking process with T-Mobile they saw that the last date that the phone was on the line was about 2 weeks earlier than the date I gave them of when the phone was actually broken. Because of this they do not want to cover the phone and said that "Sorry but the coverage only covers the phone that is on the line."
I have the broken phone sitting on my desk... This is totally unbelievable, after paying for this coverage for over 3 years I was not able to get coverage because I was off by a few days? That is so unfair... And since the IMEI number on the phone is already associated with a claim I Cannot even file another one. UNREAL. Do not waste your money on this scam company.

I then started looking up experiences with Assurant and quickly became worried that I was going to be charged for a phone I returned because I didn't actually hand the package to a worker at the post office, take video of me sending it, or pay to have FedEx ship it with tracking. It has been almost a month since I sent my phone back and luckily I woke up to an email this morning saying that they have received my defective device!

Got this protection from Costco for a S8 and my screen cracked. Called them and was informed it would be a refurbished phone. On purchase of the protection, the rep told me it would be a new device and it is possible that it was to entice me to get the protection; so no qualms with this company there and the important thing for me was to get a replacement phone quickly. The transaction was smooth and received a replacement phone in the next two days; $80 for the transaction and I was up and running again. Two months later my front camera got water droplets making it and the iris unlocking unusable. The phone is supposed to be water resistant. It's been under the rain multiple times; not submerged. So I called about the defective unit and was told I need to pay another fee for the replacement and they don't cover the fact that I was sent a defective unit to start with. My advice? Their protection is not worth it for what you get.

Filed a claim for a broken phone. The new phone came in and I dropped the old phone in the package Assurant provided at the post office. For whatever reason, the phone never made it to them and there is no sign of it ever being scanned at the post office (went back and forth with USPS, but it is basically gone). So, I have a charge of $900 to pay now. I offered to send the current phone (the new one Assurant sent), but that is apparently not acceptable to them. They really want the old broken phone or $900. No help at all and no attempt to make it work.
Please stay away from this company if you care for your sanity, time and money, or make sure you ship priority even if it means you pay more for shipping. The provided package is the cheapest and least secure. T-Mobile should do a better job of picking the third party companies that it works with especially when it has its benefits so tightly coupled with theirs. I've been a T-Mobile customer for 10 years and I am seriously considering jumping to a new provider just because of how frustrating this situation has been.

My son, who is a United States Marine, serving our country, broke his phone to the point he is unable to use it. I filed a claim with this insurance to get a new phone in his hands as he has no means of communication without his phone. I have been paying the premium on this insurance for 3 phones for 2 years, this is the first claim I have had. I submitted the claim on Monday, received an email saying that I would be notified as soon as the claim was approved. Tuesday, I had heard nothing so I called customer service and spoke with a rep who told me that they didn't have any replacement devices for my son's type of phone so that it would take 24 hours for them to investigate and see what they have available. I explained that he is in the military and he needs a phone and asked if there was any way to expedite this.
Rep told me nothing she could do and it would have to be 24 hours, so I spoke with a supervisor who told me the same thing. I wait the 24 hours, have still heard nothing so I call back. At this time the rep advises me that it will be another 1-2 business days. I again reiterate that my son has no means of communication and I have been paying for this insurance and need to utilize now. Advised nothing they can do and I just have to wait. I am very disappointed in this service. I've paid for insurance for the last 2 years and when I need to file a claim, I expect it to do what it is in place to do. I do not have $700 to replace his phone with a new one. I paid the $175 deductible and expect that the insurance would replace the phone as they are supposed to. I'm not sure what the point of paying for this insurance is if they cannot replace the phone, that's what it is for. I will most likely cancel this insurance.

Evident by other complaints here, it is highly apparent there is a pattern of abuse here. Like others I filed my claim. Called later to follow up and was told "under review by internal department", Review of what? Response is "once internal has it, we have no idea, continue to check site for updates." Did just that and hours later no response. Called T-Mobile to get them involved. And they too were surprised of the response. Waited till I got home checked site and was told denied. Called cust. service to get regurgitated response of "we don't know, write a letter to corporate for an explanation."
Asked for supervisor and he came on and said same. "This is their policy we cannot change it our hands are tied." So furiously I decided to escalate the issue with T-Mobile. They too again were "surprised" of the lack of information or details as to why it was being denied. T-Mobile went on to say the rep they spoke to was adamant nothing could be done. And they would take care of claim and escalate the issue with executive team. Been a customer for almost two decades so I do believe they will review this further.
This the abuse, and when abuse is intentional (financial gain of not paying claim) it perpetuates a fraud. After escalating it with executive team. Assurant is walking back and now blaming the rep for incorrectly denying for get this "material misrepresentation" completely accusatory without any finding of facts. Worse this alleges wrongdoing such as filing a fraudulent claim. Something I do not take likely.
They claim address they got from T-Mobile is different and it denied it. What was missing was a suite number which they never bothered disclosing or attempted to correct. It was for them a denial based of material misrepresentation with the culpability passed on to the filer. I am filing a complaint with BBB and have already been in contact with the Office of Insurance Regulations for what is clearly a policy created to benefit them. Zero transparency here, how many people don't have the wherewithal to escalate it and find resolve? How many claims do they deny for this very same reason? This must be investigated, I'm ardent in my belief of their intent with such archaic policy or plausible deniability afforded to their call center reps.

I filed the claim then contacted them a week later and was told that my claim was denied, they "did not know why" and to contact T-Mobile for more details.
T-Mobile was stunned, saying they had never heard of a claim being denied for no reason whatsoever. They made a conference call to Assurant who again, said my claim was denied but that they were unable to provide an explanation as to why. 5 days later, my phone completely stopped charging so I filed a new claim, providing the account information that T-Mobile provided (verbatim) so there is NO WAY that the claim could be denied due to an error of account holder information nor any type of clerical error on my part. 24 hours later and again, my claim is denied with ZERO explanation.
So basically, they can't tell me why my claim is denied...just that I spent the last year and a half paying them for NOTHING since they do not care to honor their policy of fixing/repairing a phone that they cover.

I purchased an iPhone 6s from a T-Mobile store. I was told by the representative who was assisting me that my phone was expensive and therefore I should purchase insurance "For the phone." I took their advice and signed up for insurance to cover the phone. A few years later I chose to use my sister's iPhone 6 and de-activated my iPhone 6s for a period of time, while still paying the insurance premium. I ended up losing my I iPhone6s when it came time to re-activate that particular phone. I contacted the insurance company, put in a claim for the iPhone 6s, they approved it but they sent me an iPhone 6 instead of a 6s. I contacted them to tell them that they must have made a mistake. They responded by saying the insurance I purchased covered "The phone number" and not the phone itself, and since my iPhone 6s was deactivated when I lost it they will not replace my phone.
I explained to the people in the insurance claim department in Albuquerque, New Mexico that in the T-Mobile store what induced me to buy the iPhone 6s was that the T-Mobile representative told me that the insurance covers my phone not my phone number (Who would sell home insurance that covers the address and not the house itself). The representatives in this call center told me that's not how it works, regardless of what they told you in the store, and they refused to help me any further, even though they offered me to send my replacement iPhone 6 back to them for a refund of my insurance deductible of $175 and then be without a phone. Ultimately they pinned their inability to help on Assurant, claiming that they are the ones who ultimately refused to replace my iPhone 6s that I purchased along with insurance.

So now I have to wait another 7 days for them to come up with some other **, this company sucks and is managing T-MOBILE. PHONE DEVICES INSURANCE IS not with it. This both company are SCAMMERS...

I read so many negative reviews on here about Assurant insurance. To where it even left me discouraged. So I feel warranted to share my experience. My phone was lost/stolen March 30th. I have the iPhone 8 Plus through T-Mobile. So I called Assurant insurance and paid the $175 deductible for my replacement. I spoke with the Assurant representative, they were very professional and very accommodating! They expressed extreme kindness and were sorry for my lost phone. I was approved for a replacement quickly and received my phone within 2 days. I also received the exact phone and color that I had lost. No issues or flaws. My phone is now connected, working properly and I couldn't be more happier! I'm very pleased with experience with Assurant Insurance. To where I created a Consumer Affairs account just to leave a comment! I give them 2 thumbs up!

I have a Samsung on5 in which was a replacement to a k7 in which I paid the required $20 deductible. My Samsung on5 stopped working and I filed a claim for replacement after visiting local T-Mobile whom verified deductible is $20 dollars. Assurant had me pay $50 deductible and is stating that my phone will be replaced with a comparable device. The phone they sent with a small scratch on the bumper is the same Samsung 0n5. The same one I paid only a $20 deductible to replace my k7.
When I contact Assurant they said the $50 dollars is the deductible on the Samsung on5, so I ask how is that comparable and why was I sent a phone to replace the k7 that would have a higher deductible without my permission. Assurant simply states that this is the deductible and that they did not break any contract. I feel the contract is broke due to the fact that when I selected a k7 plan which I choose for a reason to keep costs down, and then when I need to replace it for a $20 dollar deductible it should be honored, not be forced to pay higher deductibles.

I filed a claim with the insurance to only be denied because... the phone being claimed was my 12 year olds phone who was having trouble focusing in class. Therefore his phone was taken till his grades improved. Lo and behold when he got the phone back it wasn’t working and I then filed a claim. According to the insurance company because his phone wasn’t active for almost 90days they couldn’t cover the phone damages. Craziest thing I have ever heard because if my car was sitting for 90 days then the day I decided to use it, it got damaged. I would expect Progressive insurance to write a check. This isn’t my first horrible encounter with Assurant. I think they have horrible business practices as well as horrible consumer policies. Hopefully they get it together but I’m tired of being ripped off by this company. It’s disgusting!

The CSR asked that I mail the device back in the provided which envelope, which I did on Jan 21, 2017, it was placed in the mailbox in front of the USPS in Grand Prairie, same location and method I've used to mail back several phones. The phone was not received and I was charged 528.

So in July I had messed up my phone Galaxy S8+. I washed it up on the ocean. I returned the phone and paid my deductible. Turns out that they lost my phone because I returned it at the United Postal Service Office. Assurant claims to have never received the phone but I know that I turned it in with the address and envelope they had sent me with the new phone. On the exact same day I received the device I returned the old one. I've been on the phone for hours with both T-Mobile and Assurant. This is ridiculous.
This situation has been going on for months. I'm planning on switching carriers because they're making me pay 100s of dollars extra. I returned the device and paid my deductible.

I have been paying for the insurance through T-Mobile since I bought the phone a year ago at a cost of $12 a month. I submitted a claim through the website and was only offered two options: one to replace the phone with a used phone and one to use jump to upgrade to another phone. I only wanted the screen fixed but the option wasn't available. I paid the $175 deductible and opted for the replacement. Two days later, I logged in to check the status and see that the claim is denied without any explanation.

In January saw the phone in my drawer and thought let try this one again and drop the phone by mistake. Called the Assurant for claim and they rejected the claim. That phone was not active at the time of accident but you are taking the money every month. They said it will cover the only phone which was active. What if I buy the phone from market and use the phone and file a claim for that phone that is also not covered? Then someone can tell what is all covered. It's better to buy phone from Amazon and buy their insurance so you don't have to pay every month and give them the double the price of phone.

Had my phone not got broken, I wouldn't know there existed such a terrible cell phone insurance company. I had my cell phones insured before I switched to T-Mobile and had no issue at all with the insurance claims. My experience with Assurant goes like this. My IPHONE 6 got damaged in July 2017 so I filed a claim, paid $200 deductible. I received a refurbished phone with a broken camera. After I received the phone, I traveled out of the county, when I got back, I called Assurant and informed them that they sent me a bad phone. I assumed they would send me a replacement immediately based my past experience with other insurance companies. However, I was told (only at this moment) that I only had 7 days to inform them whether the device I received was not in good condition. This was the first time I was informed about this 7 days policy.
I was told that I had to file a new claim and pay another $200 if I want to get a new replacement. I didn't want to waste all my time to reasoning with them, so I file a new claim to replace the bad phone they sent me and paid another $200. Then, the phone I received (number 2 phone) was not working, I couldn't receive phone calls. They said it was not physically damaged so I had to call The Apple company to fix it. The Apple technician couldn't make the phone work, the Assurant finally agreed to send me another replacement (phone number 3). The good news is, the 3rd replacement phone seems OK, I returned all replaced phones back to them using the USPS box they sent to me. Surprisingly when I received my T-mobile bill today, I was shocked to see the Assurant charged me $287.99 for non-returned device.
I call Assurant, and luckily I took a photo before I shipped the device to Assurant, and the tracking history shows they received all my returned packages. But, they claim, they could not find my phone in their warehouse! They even suggested that there might be nothing in the box! Therefore they will not drop the non-returned device charge they posted to my account! I am speechless! For an iPhone 6, I have paid all the monthly insurance charge of $7.99 (something like that), $400 deductibles in total, and $287.99 for bad phones they sent to me and I have returned! Can you believe how bad the company is? They are making big money on the insurance scam! I am going to leave T-Mobile if they are not going to do something about this!

2 days later I logged in to check the status of my claim, it had a FedEx tracking number already which was a big surprise, I clicked to track it and it said "delivered" earlier that day. I thought it must be a mistake but checked my front porch, and there it was! I opened the box and found an exact device as I originally had, it was most likely a refurbished phone but it appeared to be brand new as far as I could tell.

The device that arrived was a terrible refurbished device which crashes every 30 minutes. Quite frustrating.

I had to replace my broken phone, they sent back a new one promptly, and requested I send the broken one back to them. The next evening my wife and I walked to our neighborhood post office box and mailed the package. Several weeks later I received a letter claiming they hadn't received the package, and I'd be financially responsible for the full cost of the old, broken device along with the deductible I already paid on the new one. In other words, it would have been cheaper had I bought a new phone myself as now I'm being charged full price for a broken device.
I'm filing a "lost package" claim with USPS, but it seems much more likely that Assurant is running a scam to increase revenue, given the number of one-star ratings they've gotten on ConsumerAffairs. I'm also at a loss for trying to figure out the lesson learned here. Perhaps I should have taken a picture of the package, or a video of me dropping it in the mailbox. The larger moral of the story is that our institutions and corporations are becoming less trustworthy.

Assurant Solutions is claiming I did NOT return my damaged device. This company is the selected mobile insurance company used by T-Mobile in case your phone is lost or stolen or suffers accidental damage. I insure my phones to avoid having to pay large fees if something were to happen to our phones. There is a deductible of $175 that is charged with any claim for the replacement of your mobile device.
Fine I paid this. You are required to return your damaged device 10 days after receiving your replacement device and up to 90 days. We received the replacement device on Aug 2nd and I dropped off the damaged device at the USPS on Aug 6 in the drop box inside the post office. I drop that off and another shipment which made it to its destination but our damaged device didn't.
NOTE that the company uses First class mail and the shipment is NOT scanned until it reaches its destination. If they want better tracking they should provide their customers with a priority shipping label so the items are tracked soon as dropped off at the post office. Or provide us with instructions to upgrade their terrible shipping selection.
Soon as I found out via mail probably 3 wks later that the company had not received my device I called customer service immediately to let them know I returned the device on Aug 6. It was the end of Aug and customer service rep basically said, "Oh don't worry. It is probably in our warehouse. It just hasn't been scanned as returned. This happens all the time. I will submit the request to search for your phone."
Long story short after about 78 days of dealing with both Assurant and T-Mobile they charged my account 499.99. I refuse to pay the 380 for this lost device. I did my part in the search by submitting a search with all parties Assurant, T-Mobile and USPS. Only ones to blame here is Assurant for using terrible tracking system. If these devices are so important they NEED to use PRIORITY mail NOT FIRST class. The type of shipping they use basically welcomes theft. If someone wants to steal phones at their warehouse all they have to do is NOT scan it as returned and then is customers pay these large non return fees.
I spoke to 2 supervisors at Assurant and both regardless of everything I went thru to locate the device they rejected my request to remove these charges. A customer service rep at T-Mobile on 10/20 told me that via the RMEI/serial number that they notice activity on my broken device to date. Doesn't this prove that my broken device was stolen!
After receiving this information I called Apple who helped me lock this device so that whoever is in possession of this phone can NO longer use it via WiFi or text. I think it is more than unfair that I am being charged an additional $380 fee for the damaged device. I have gone thru all available means to try and locate the device and they will NOT grant me the removal of these fees. I should NOT be responsible for these fees instead they should look into revising their device tracking.
As the first customer rep said, "They do this all the time. I'm sure your device is there and they haven't scanned it as returned." There are so many things that are wrong with their return and tracking process and we as consumers should not be responsible for something that is out of our control once dropped off at USPS. I would like to request a refund and hope everyone on this page notices there are over 60 complaints in this company most dealing with the same thing that I am dealing with. PLEASE HELP!

Our teenaged daughter dropped her phone and we submitted a claim to get the phone replaced. During the process of getting her phone replaced, our son's phone broke. They won't process the claim on his phone until her phone is returned and scanned into their system. After a week, Assurant confirmed tonight that they have her phone on the "dock" but it may take another 3-5 days to "scan" it into their system. Until then, they won't process the claim on my son's phone.
It's unfortunate that we had two claims so close together, but I've paid a monthly fee of $8.99 per phone x 3 phones since we joined U.S. Cellular and have to pay a $175 deductible for the refurbished replacement phone. You won't convince me that they are losing money on our account. My son needs his phone for work and they refuse to ship it.

One week later, I get a letter telling me my claim has been denied because my SIM card was not detected on my phone at time of loss. For each claim, the deductible is $175. Meanwhile, I'm paying $38/month for 3 phones including the one I lost at the airport. No thank you! All I got from Assurant is rude reception, long hold on the line with representatives who are clueless themselves, and rejections to all my claims. I cancelled all my insurance.

Went to the Apple store to replace the screen on the iPhone 6 plus and were shocked to learn that we had received a counterfeit phone from T-Mobile's insurance company Assurant. Apple would not fix the screen and showed us how the cover with the Apple logo on our phone was a fake so they will not repair it. Documented with pictures. Part was not just an after market part, but had all the information on it including the logo, but the wording wasn't perfectly straight and the part has a different finish to it. I had to pay Assurant for this phone which was refurbished with counterfeit parts! Assurant couldn't help me since I was not filling a new claim for an exchange.

I have been chasing my replacement phone for 3 weeks now!! I paid for the insurance through my carrier to receive a new phone. I cracked my screen and put in a claim. I was told my phone would be at my address in 2 business days. I received an empty UPS envelope. I called Assurant and was advised they needed to trace my phone to see where it was and it would take 10-14 business days. Called on the 10th business day... Still tracing the phone. Called on the 12th business day... Still tracing the phone. Called on the 14th business day, was told my claim was denied because they didn't receive my broken device back in time.
Why would I send my phone back when I never received a replacement phone in the first place. Can't they look to see if the phone they sent me was activated or being used?? I asked for my $175 refund and was denied. I was livid and spoke to a supervisor who looked in the notes, saw the history of my calls then offered to send me a replacement. I'm not looking forward to the replacement. From looking at the reviews I probably won't like what I get. I'm canceling the insurance. I'd rather pay $300 down the street at uBreakiFix and get it fixed the same day with no frustrations. NEVER AGAIN!!! My recommendation is to save your money and don't waste your time.

I have a family plan with 5 phones all under insurance. Had all phones with insurance for over 3 years, for the first time, one of the phones broke. We filed a claim on a Monday, had to pay $175 deductible (on a phone you can buy on eBay or Craigslist for less) and on Friday of the same week I called to get status on the claim, tracking details etc and they said that they are waiting for our driver's licence before they can process, something that we were not made aware of. My issues here is why no one called to follow up with us to request what they needed. Why I have to call them a week later only to learn that the phone we desperately needed has not shipped. I will never again use this company. Horrible customer service and think that everything is a joke.

I purchased an iPhone7 plus. I was hospitalized for almost 2 months and was never able to activate the phone. It was then stolen. I filed a claim and was told my phone wasn't covered because it wasn't activated. Yet the phone that was never activated paid a $10 a month insurance fee. Why was the fee being charged for coverage if in fact it wasn't covered? I asked where in the terms and conditions did it state a phone needed to be activated in order to be covered? They couldn't tell me and said they would email it to me, guess what I never received anything. There is no such policy. I've read through the policy and terms of conditions. All 18 pages and it was not in there anywhere at all. They are scammers and liars. Now I'm stuck paying off a phone that I don't have after paying insurance premiums for nothing.

My son purchased a OnePlus 5 64GB two weeks ago and it was stolen while on vacation in Morocco. They don't carry that phone with T-Mobile so they offered the Samsung J7 with 16 GB which can be purchased for 129.00 on eBay and 229.00 at T-Mobile. I have the receipt showing 549.00 plus tax. Now How's that comparable for my two week old phone. They want a 50.00 deductible on a $129.00 phone or 229.00 phone at T-Mobile.
I have paid Assurant for many years. $10.00/month and never needed to file a claim. Why bother if they are going to give you junk for an expensive phone in which I still have the receipt for being that it was purchased 2 weeks ago.

I called in to make a $50 payment for a deductible. After attempting the online echeck payment it kicked me back to customer service who asked for my checking account number and routing number because the 2nd agent said the payment didn't process. He suggests it wasn't enough money in the account. I let that slide and proceeded to give him my full name, address, etc. I told him I didn't want to give my routing and checking account number over the phone which is why the previous agent sent me to the automated. He took my name, license number & address and said he was sending me to automated service to reenter the routing and account number and confirms where I track the claim...I say okay and then phone goes dead. I'm thinking that's weird but it must have gone thru because the agent didn't transfer me to the automated service.
Spoiler alert: I was wrong. The payment wasn't processed. Problem: Trust. Why are agents asking for routing and account numbers over the phone? To further confuse myself, I withdrew the same amount from my account which I'm thinking days later was Assurant taking the payment. To resolve this I talked with 4 Assurant reps: 2 nice and 2 not so nice. After speaking to the last agent, I'm really regretting paying Assurant to cover my rental insurance and my 3 cell phones. I've worked in Customer Service before and the customer is not always right but should be treated with the understanding that they think they are right or at least there's a reason these people who pay your salaries are calling Customer Service.

I filed a claim about for my cracked phone screen to receive a replacement. I sent back my phone from UPS to YORK PA, 17402, 625 WILLOW SPRINGS LANE STE A. RMA # **. I've been charged 300$ on my T-Mobile phone bill despite sending it back 3 weeks prior. I called up Assurant and was placed on hold while they did more research and was hung up on. I called back again and was told the warehouse never received my package. They said that it was my fault and I would need to pay the bill and a refund would be void. My boyfriend decided to call back and speak to a manager, he was placed on hold and hung up on 10 minutes after waiting. He called back again and finally was able to speak to a supervisor and was told the same information, the warehouse "never received it." The supervisor told us it may have been shipped to the wrong address, but it clearly hasn't been.
This is 100% their responsibility for losing my package, I don't deserve to be charged for something I sent back. I'm speaking to lawyers about my options on this. I've never had an insurance company literally give me the run-around like this repeatedly. It's become evident this is not the first time it's happened either. I've seen DOZENS of people stating they have the same issue with this insurance company. Somebody is clearly stealing packages before they are processed. We all need to be compensated for this theft immediately.

Through T-mobile, we paid a monthly fee for protection plan with Assurant Solutions. The original iPhone broke, so we went through a cumbersome process for replacement. Paid significant deductible to get the replacement phone ($175). It looked fine, but from the beginning was slow, not much battery power. Then after 4.5 months, started shutting down with 60% battery left. Became unreliable, poor calling, etc. I reported this (still within the 180 day warranty period) and they were extremely unhelpful and unapologetic. Offered to replace the phone again (which of course I wouldn't want to go through again), but refused to refund the deductible, which would have been the right thing to do.

One representative even told me that Assurant would charge me a higher deductible to send me an "comparable" device because a replacement tablet was not in stock. After spending more than an hour in total on the phone with Assurant representatives in one day, I was finally told that Assurant did not have one single device in stock that they could send me in response to my claim. Is that not why I pay them monthly to do? Very pathetic, unhelpful, dissatisfying service to someone who has been with T-Mobile for 11 years.

It so happened that I was talking to a T-Mobile rep. on another matter when my tablet came up. I told them that my screen was cracked. I was informed that I had insurance on it and should go ahead and filed a claim. A deduction of $50 was mentioned. I filed the claim over the phone. A rep took my information and told me that the deduction was $100. She was about asked for the deduction when she found out that there was no replacement tablet for the model that I have. Now get this, I have been paying for insurance on this table for over 3 years @ $9 per month. Do the math $324. I was told someone would have gotten back to me. This never happened.
So I called and cancelled the insurance. This made no sense. They were very happy to cancel the insurance when they found that they were ahead of the game. A Galaxy Tab 3 tablet cost about $94 (eBay) and the deductible is $90. Now isn't this a scheme. I found this to be a very big, big rip-off. Anyone who is reading and planning to insurance via this company, I would suggest you put away the money in a savings account and over time you would have enough money put away to purchase another one or do as you please. I strongly suggest that if you are associated with this company to check your situation out. You may save some time or money.

Best case, I wouldn't see the phone until Tuesday. They wouldn't rush it or agree to pay for Saturday delivery even though they send a broken phone.

My daughter inserted her SIM card but the phone didn't connect to the T-Mobile network. We called T-Mobile thinking it needed to use the new SIM that came with the phone activated. The representative said it would be on within 2 hours. After 3 hours we called back and we were told 24 hrs. The next day we called back and we were told that the refurbished phone was network blocked because of a fraud investigation with the previous owner of the phone. We were told another 24 hrs. Two days later it still did not work. We went to T-Mobile (thinking it was an issue with T-Mobile fraud department). A rep at the store called Assurant for us and was on the phone for 30 min with someone from Assurant.
The T-Mobile rep said that they didn't seem to know what they were doing. She was told to give another 24 hours. This had already been a week since we received the phone. I have even emailed Assurant. We called Assurant again yesterday (almost 3 weeks since receiving the phone) and we were told that they see the times we have called and the notes on account but nothing was ever submitted to fix the problem. They said give it 2-3 more days. I paid $700 for the original phone plus $175 for the replacement and my daughter still has had no phone for the past 3 weeks. This is unacceptable that Assurant would send out a refurbished phone that has a network block for fraud from the previous owner! I thought that they checked the phones to make sure they are usable when received by the customer? I'm not sure how much longer until the phone is unblocked but it better be soon.

I have never received such horrible service. I purchased a protection plan for my son's tablet. He cracked the screen, barely visible and otherwise operational. It took from mid-February and still ongoing to get this settled. It took 10 days to even get the claim opened. The unit was tracked by FedEx and sat in their department for 8 days for repairs and was only "found" when I called to check on the status of the repair. Their site states 2-3 days. I had to call three times, still never could an answer to when it would be shipped back. 10 days later I received an email stating they were sending a check and not the unit. They "claim" the value of the screen was more than the value of the unit. It can be confirmed by basic industry standards for repair costs that this is not true. The contract states that, "if they are unable to repair, or the value exceeds replacement value, they will send back a refurbished unit of like kind and quality".
When I contacted customer service I was told that replacing it was in fact NOT an option, and that "I was misinterpreting the contract". When I questioned what might have happened to the tablet in the days in the shop that could have created more damage, I was told "nothing happened". But the agent earlier could not even account for where the unit was during this period. The value of the check they are sending will not purchase a replacement tablet. My son will not be able to have his tablet replaced. I paid for a plan and have a contract that is not being honored and no one at Assurant is willing to correct this issue. I feel that I have been victim to bait and switch advertising and failure to fulfill their legal obligations. I am incredibly frustrated and my young son is heartbroken.

Extremely incompetent claims processing and representatives that will have you calling their line every day so they can fix their own issues. Given the value of the refurbished phone + monthly premiums - time and energy spent to make a claim = you're better off NOT buying phone insurance from Assurant/T-mobile. I had been paying $10 a month for insurance on my iPhone 6s Rose Gold for over 18 months when I lost my phone and submitted an online claim on the Assurant website, thinking it'd be an easy fix. Two days later, when I logged back into my account, my claim was simply listed as 'Denied' with no explanation whatsoever. Keeping in mind I had already called Assurant twice before with nasty experiences, I begrudgingly called again to understand what further information was needed for them to approve and process the claim. Again, shot down by Assurant and they told me to call Tmobile...
Fast forward I'm finally on a three-way call with TMo and Assurant - and this time the Assurant rep is somewhat useful and fixes the processing error Assurant made on the backend (I submitted claim for 6S, they reviewed for 6S Plus). 24 hours later, I'm denied once again! I call Tmobile once more to 3-way and the rep (after 36 mins) states the same issue: that they processed the claim for a 6s Plus and not 6S. What in the world?! How badly are their processes that someone on the backend changes what I - the customer - submits on the claim. After these 3 hours of back and forth, a new claim has been submitted after 3 days delay.

It had a problem with the battery and the phone always turning off on me every 10 minutes or so. I let Assurant know about this issue, and they gave me a REFURBISHED Galaxy S7 (which of course I'm upset about, but I get that I completely butt-pounded myself signing that 007 sneaky form stating they're allowed to give me refurbished phones, so I never mentioned it to them). I was also really disappointed they didn't give me a Note 4 or anything of the similarity at the very least, but upon signing on the Google account in the phone settings, I got a notification later in the same email I used to sign in, stating someone has successfully signed into my account from someone on Firefox somewhere in the U.S.
So patient me, I explain to them the issue about the phone being compromised at first use, and I expressed to them that I really take my safety VERY seriously, and the fact that they didn't give me a phone of equal value or functionality as the Note 4, but they insisted their phones were thoroughly checked for any problems and it would be reported if there was one before sending it out to me, and that they're allowed to give me a refurbished phone (not even mentioning the phone being of less value). So this got me really mad, I sent them another message stating "I've never got compromised before, and this is a safety issue that you fail to confirm with me," anything that happens is liable to them, not Google, and again, this phone isn't even of equal value. Again! They stated "They have the right to give me a refurbished phone" when I have not mentioned once about the ToS giving me a refurbished phone, just simply bypassing my question.
