Timed out before I could finish the edit. I wanted to add that I believe that insurance would be affected by non-credit of the return of the return. Pretty sure I've seen multiple accounts of that issue.
Thanks for the insurance help. So if I have no insurance and something should happen where the phone does not work, I could get find a used/new/refurbished phone on my own and have it activated? I assume the info from my old phone could be backed up to the new phone? Are phones on amazon (or other sites) fairly reasonably priced?
You can activate any unlocked compatible phone onto your account. However if you're on the Edge contract then you'd still need to make those payments even if the phone is non functional and you'd not be able to Edge Up without a big penalty fee.
Amazon does have some used phones, if you search for the phone you want you have to look under used. I have seen sites like swappa.com that have decent deals as well. I sell my phones on CL often, but if you go that route look for a thorough ad and check to make sure it's not stolen.
www.swappa.com for the win.
