Default New rate on insurance?

So every month I pay attention to how much my bill is, I have a 27% discount which rocks and I always pay $62.88 but this month they want me to pay $63.88. The one extra dollar goes to a higher insurance price. They didn't notify me or contact me about this. I've been thinking about leaving Sprint already because I don't really care for CDMA. So I have two questions, would I be able to get out of my contract since they are charging me a different price now, and would any one else match my 27% or get close to it?

No way. Drop sprints insurance and pick up best buy's for the same coverage for $5 a month. If your BB breaks just take it in and they will give u a new one no questions asked.

no, both insurances from sprint makes it $8 a month on your bill per line. if you get the insurance through bestbuy it is $10 a month from a credit card per line.

Eve6er69 u r right with the insurance. I looked and I have two lines with the insurance so I messed up my numbers. I guess the only reason I like the best buy is bc if u damage or lose ur phone u just have to take it in and they replace it. Sprint on the other hand makes u wait two days and u also have pay $100 for them to replace it. If ur like me and damage or lose two phones a year its cheaper to go with the best buy insurance.

Yeah I wish I went with best buy for insurance mainly because rim has an agreement with them to not work on their phones. So if u have any problems the they swap it out for a brand new device. I will definetly be getting their ins for my next phone purchase because if a newer phone comes out and yours is in eol I'm sure you get the newer phone.

I'm also thinking about going with BestBuy for my next phone purchase. A two dollor difference for a new or updated phone might be worth the extra $2 instead of a "REFURBISHED" phone and a two day waiting period

Best Buy has the WORST insurance in the industry, period.

Yes, Verizon 4G is really that fast!
