What is covered? | Warranty Service | Cell Phone Insurance
- 2 years of coverage (or more) The SquareTrade Cell Phone warranty covers your Cell Phone for 2 years or more, starting on the date of phone purchase.
All cell phones except iPhones (for which we have a special plan) are covered for the replacement cost of the phone, up to a maximum of $399. If your phone replacement costs more than $399, we will still cover you up to $399.
- Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH) Most Cell Phone failures reported to SquareTrade are caused by accidents. The SquareTrade Cell Phone warranty protects against drops, spills, and other accidents!
- Deductible: There is a $50 deductible when claiming on an accidentally damaged item (e.g. drops, spills). If your issue falls under the standard warranty terms (i.e., a mechanical or electrical failure), no deductible applies.
- Exclusions: There is a 30-day exclusion window after you first purchase your item. ADH does not include loss, willful damage or damage occurring through gross misuse of the item. The damage must have occurred unintentionally while the item was being used as intended.
- No Coverage from Loss: There is no coverage against lost or stolen phones. You can always cancel your warranty and receive a refund if that happens.
- Extended coverage of the manufacturer's warranty The SquareTrade warranty also extends the same coverage as the manufacturer's warranty. This covers all mechanical and electrical problems that arise out of normal use. This includes most hardware failures and power/charging failures.
- No deductible: If your phone fails because of a manufacturer defect, there is NO deductible to claim.
- During the manufacturer warranty: If your phone fails while still under the manufacturer’s coverage, SquareTrade will refer you to the manufacturer first for issues covered by the manufacturer warranty. This allows you to preserve the full value of your SquareTrade warranty, instead of using it up on issues covered by the manufacturer.
- How to file a claim Filing a claim is easy and hassle free. Just call us at 1-877-WARRANTY or start your claim online. You will need your receipt, which you can also fax in for safekeeping right after you purchase.
- Repair or Reimburse Based on what happened to your phone, we will let you know if it's suitable for replacement, repair, or reimbursement.
- For replacement, we will provide you with the same or an equivalent model phone.
- For reimbursements, we will pay you the replacement cost of your phone, up to a maximum of $399. If accidental damage was the cause of the failure, we will subtract a $50 deductible from the payout.
- No Cheap Refurbs! Unlike other warranties, we won't send you someone else's broken phone that has been patched back together. If we don't fix your item, we give you the money to replace your item.
- Free Shipping to our depot We'll give you a free pre-paid UPS shipping label to send in the phone into our repair depot.
- Our 5-day service guarantee We will reimburse OR fix and ship back your phone within 5 business days of receiving it at the depot. If it takes longer, let us know and we'll be happy to refund the cost of your warranty.
