Asurion Question

[justinisloco]

Hi,

Just out of curiosity, if anyone has any info on Verizon and Asurion.

I am getting an iPhone 5 from my sister, who is on my account. She upgraded to a 5S. She cracked her screen a while back and got it replaced at the mall from one of the kiosks. I know they use aftermarket pieces. If I drop my phone, or get water damage, is my insurance going to cover it?

I was already told that insurance wll transfer from phone to phone, but I'm worried about the aftermarket screen. I know it voids the manufacturer warranty, but since I am paying $10 a month, do they not care if its aftermarket?

Thanks in advance

You cannot insure a 3rd party device. Whoever told ypu that insurance travels from phone to phone was partially correct. It only transfers if you purchase a NEW device. It doesnt matter if she is on your acct or not; you wont be able to file a claim.
