Jenna, I know it is frustrating, but you have to keep proper perspective, aspecially if you actually had really good credit worth protecting. Yes, the insurance on your phone is provided by a totally different company. Not Sprint. The name of the company is usually LOCKLINE for Sprint customers. Paying your phone bill has absolutely nothing to do with the status of your phone. They are separate issues. You could have suspended your service while fighting this out instead of running up $90 a month and ruining your credit. Keep in mind, that insurance has a $50 deductible and when you figure the $6.95 per month or so, in just 1 year that is about $84 added to the $50 is $134 in just one year. You can get another phone on a 2 year contract for that! See the reality here? That insurance is a waste of money in most cases. What have you spent if you pay on it for 2 years and then use it? That costs you about $218 to replace that phone! Calling sprint can usually get a refurb phone sent to you as an exchange, or get a better model than you have for like $50 without insurance. I just got a $300 phone exchanged for FREE with the newer model with Sprint. I just talked to them the way they want to be talked to. Results are dependant on how things are handled.
