Careful with that... idk how Verizon is but with Sprint I only need to pay the $100 deductible if the phone is lost or has water damage. Just about any other problem is free replacement if I bring it to a store.
I have had a deductible for years went through maybe 4-5 phones since 2004. I only paid the deductible once when I lost a phone (maybe twice.. I cant remember anymore). Every other replacement was free (other issues I had were screen blanking out on me, keyboard stopped working, plastic trim pieces broke and made power button useless). I'm very glad that's how Sprint does the insurance because almost all of my problems have been due to shitty phones, not because of abuse.
