Either through the carrier, or in the case of a Nexus/Apple device, through Google/Apple?

I hadn't; but I never had a very spendy personal phone before my Samsung. I found an inexpensive plan through square trade that had decent - b. Feb 3, 12:41
I had it as part of my home policy for a long time - but now companies are no longer giving phone coverage (it was cheap - like $3 a year? - no deduct - JenBro Feb 3, 12:31 4

  - I sense a script in this post -- nm - JenBro Feb 3, 12:33
I don't. the "deductibles" are so high that you may as well just suck it up and pay for a new phone. - amanda jonas Feb 3, 12:10 9
- I thought it was only $50 .... -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 3, 12:22 4
  - Depends on the phone. My Edge was $200. nm - Jim Feb 3, 12:43
  - twice last year friends of mine replaced iphones with deductibles of $169. if that's changed, maybe it'd be worth it. -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 3, 12:23 2
    - gotta be phone-clumsy if you're gonna roll with mandy's squad -- nm - mr. plow Feb 3, 12:31 1
      - I have smashed one, wet one and lost one -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 3, 13:53
- well this would have been good to know -- nm - mr. plow Feb 3, 12:11 3
  - I think you can cancel along the way. *pause* heh, the squaretrade site even has a page that shows how for different carriers. nm but: -- (link) - b. Feb 3, 12:44
  - yeah, all of my friends are verizon. they've all ditched. -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 3, 12:18
  - math is hard -- nm - Roger More Feb 3, 12:12
i have been (s'only $7/mo) but so far i've only accidentally dropped my phone once where i was genuinely worried i might have cracked it - mr. plow Feb 3, 12:06
No---and I've broken one, and gotten one wet---both were replaced by apple, for free, at the apple store -- nm - Flavorize Feb 3, 12:06 1
- Yeah, same with my android through Verizon. As long as you do not lose it, you are good. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 12:07
