Mobile Insurance Claim....AT&T just gave me THIS for my 920!

[smf98aggie]

So, I broke my screen on my 920 (owned since they came out years ago) and filed an insurance claim on it. Apparently, AT&T doesn't have anymore to replace it with, because this is what they replaced it with! :smile: I've been wanting to try out a 1520 for awhile now, but didn't want to renew my contract for one incase it was too big for me, but I think a $62 insurance claim for one will work for now. :smile:

Nice! Maybe I should temporarily add insurance to my plan...

Same thing for me last week! Usually I am against device insurance as by the time you pay for it and the deductible, you could have bought a new phone verses getting a refurb... But I took over my brothers account since he moved out of the country and saw I was paying for insurance.. got his old 920 replaces with a brand new 1520!!! That's a deal to me, lol!

Well... I am looking at the 1520 with the nillkin case on it and I have not powered it on since I received it Friday... My old 920 is doing great after a factory restore... Besides I had to get a nano sim card Saturday... I just have not had the time to upgrade... And I am waiting on my micro sd... I don't know... Everything has to be right before I make a step like that... I mean I need to shower, reflect, etc,... LOL!

The phone is huge and nice though... cant wait to get some time to power it on.

AT&T only allows you to add insurance within 30 days of purchasing your phone. Probably to so prevent people from adding insurance just to get a new phone.

Nice upgrade you have there! My wife had the same thing happen, had to file an insurance claim, got AT&T to send out a 1520 and cover half of the deductible.

*Jealous* here in the UK.

Well, I've been using the 1520 for a few days, and I do really like the phone, but damn its BIG! I don't know if I'll be able to handle the size of it in the long run. It's definitely not a one-handed phone, which is annoying. If they made a 5 inch version of this phone with QI wireless charging, I think it would be PERFECT!

Goal from the half court, huh?

I guess you gotta be a soccer fan to get that, LOL!

I've also considered doing this since I've had my 920 on AT&T with the insurance since June of last year. But I really hate to give up my Qi wireless charging and 32GB storage for AT&T's stripped down version. Damn you AT&T!!!

So you have a picture of two working phones (920,1520) with the same start screen on both. Apparent its the same account. So you sir are an expert at working the system if you claimed the 920 was broken

Edit: I see screen cracked, but still working. 15 buck replacement and you have practically 2 new phones there

They usually allow you some time to make sure you have everything off the old phone moved to the new... Then you have to get the old (claim filed) phone to them by a certain time limit. You don't get to keep the damaged device.

Yeah, the 920 still works fine, it's just the glass broke. I checked into fixing it, but it was gonna cost me $95 for the repair (with no guarantee that the new digitizer will work properly), and only $62 for an insurance claim. And, they give you 1 week to switch everything over before you have to return your old phone. It only took about 5 minutes to log into my accounts with the 1520, then it automatically set it up just like my 920. The only thing I had to do extra was to transfer all my pictures over manually.

I was initially in the same boat but what you gain with the 1520 will more than make up for it......at least that's my opinion anyway.

I was offered a 1520 when my 920 broke as well. I asked them for, and they provided me with, a 1020 instead. The 1520 is just too big. If AT&T hadn't watered it down by removing Qi and dropping the memory down to 16 GB I might have been tempted to try living with the large size. I had to buy a separate wireless charging shell for the 1020, but at least there was an option to do so unlike the 1520. I like the 1020, but the camera is too slow, I'd like a higher resolution screen, and sensor core. I hope MS gets around to releasing a "1030" soon.

They do, tis called the 930/Icon. What you need is for AT&T to start offering it instead of that big red company.

The 16gb in general is enough for apps etc, rest to the SD of course. The Qi is another matter.
