We do so across the digitally connected globe, by speaking six languages, and by working across any device, platform or provider. There’s only one system like ours on earth, and it took two decades of innovating, and empathizing, to build. Recently my iPhone 7 was dropped and started to malfunction, then completely stopped working.
Fortunately I had the insurance. But they were out of the 7 in Rose Gold so the rep offered a 7 plus that I could get immediately. On my old phone (that wouldn’t even turn on) I thought I had got Find My iPhone turned off from my computer; it turned out I hadn’t but Asurion sent me a message letting me know and reminding how to do it, so I would not get charged. I was satisfied with the experience and of course I added the protection for my new iPad too. The replacement was sent to the wrong street, wrong city (Big Bear City isn’t even close to our city) and the first name was wrong (Brandon **), so UPS was req’d to return rather than correct and forward to us.
Delayed receipt by a week. Also, was notified that phone hadn’t been removed from Find my iPhone app, which was difficult because the phone wouldn’t turn on, so was done thru our iCloud app. So, I went thru the process again and asked to be notified if it didn’t remove it the 2nd time. Would have been great to get a confirmation either way, as the $500 threat is pretty daunting. Definite room for improvement. Making a claim was easy, the instructions for backing data up were clear and easy to follow, the phone arrived immediately, with easy self addressed packaging to return the old phone.
New phone was like brand new, fresh battery, clean screen, and ready to load from backup. Really makes you appreciate cloud based backups. Word of advice, like all IT equipment backing up often really pays big dividends when disaster happens.
Especially when the screen doesn’t allow you to do it after it breaks, or the phone gets stolen, or it just dies!! The recent replacement iPhone was a refurbished phone. The bluetooth feature never worked. When the touch screen stopped working I contacted you and was offered another refurbished iPhone. Because of my recent bad experience with a refurb I asked your representative for a new replacement phone.

I was told new phones were backordered. I've been told by a number of friends that there is no shortage of this model so I checked it out. There is no shortage of this model. So I'm waiting. It's been 2 weeks and still no phone. When are you going to honor your contract and send me a phone?
Asurion and very cold lady who has no business in customer service declined my claim because I had not use my phone 3 three months even though I had started the claim before the 3 months. I was hoping to find my phone, so that I did not have to redeem my policy. I paid for a policy in case my phone was lost or damaged. Instead I got these non sense that because I did not use the phone, they would not honor my policy. I did not buy a policy on phone usage, I bought a policy on a physical object, my phone. They probably make millions with saps like me. I have 2 phones insured thru Asurion and quite frankly I don't care if this comments pisses them off.
