I'm Really Having A Bad Time With This Phone.
- BrantaRetired Network ModI still don't like the idea of a fraudulent insurance claim but you seem to have set your mind on it. Remember if you get caught you could get a criminal record, and the way insurance fraud databases work it will flag anyone at your address, not only you.
If you can't find a repair shop try a google search on
cellphone repair <your city>
I tried this and it seems to get plenty of hits even for most US cities03-21-09 09:55 AMLike 0 - I still don't like the idea of a fraudulent insurance claim but you seem to have set your mind on it.

- I would have taken it to get repaired proffesionally for the same fact that I spent so much on it I'm willing to do whatever it takes to fix it properly the first time. I would probably cry if I were you I'm sorry . Be extra careful with your replacement and don't try to fix anything yourself. Good luck!

- Yeah I cracked up at that too.
Ilikemileyy or whatever the heck, no one is being mean, people are telling you that you are committing insurance fraud. Between this thread and being okay with the stolen storm on verizon, I don't think your mom is being 'nice' by not instilling proper respect for the law with you. She is spoiling you rotten and setting you up for never having any sense of right, wrong or personal responsibility for the future.
I have voided my warranty. I am a perfectionist. I have done some damage to my replacement lens and to the lcd screen. Am I lying to Bell or RIM (since technically I am in my year warranty) by saying its normal wear and tear? No - I ordered replacement parts and am researching the repair. But, like you, I did it to myself. And I'm not lying to anyone or running to mommy. And if I did it to my phone that I have on my parents plan (which wouldn't happen anyway) my mom wouldn't have been fine with it. I'd be paying for a new handset or repairs out of my pocket and learning a lesson.
Its not mean to have someone tell you the legal ramifications, and if you think we were mean to you, your mother has done you no favours by handholding you like she has.
Honestly I hope asurion doesn't replace it.
