So, Im An Idiot

[01xtreme]

I am super tired from not sleeping the last few days trying to get study time for my finals, and I get home today to wash clothes, and forget my blackberry is in the cellphone pocket of my dickies. well, I washed it. Would any of you guys with verizon wireless know if the insurance will cover this kind of thing? I have no cellphone right now, and i definately need it, as I am completely alone here in orlando.

My understanding of the Verizon insurance is that they'll replace your phone no matter what happens to it for like 50 bucks or something like that, not sure though. I wouldn't be able to live a couple hours without my BB, I'm sorry for your loss lol

Dude u can lie and get out of payin the 50.............IF ur good

I doubt it theyll notice it got wet but hey never hurts to try. Say you were walking somewhere and someone tried to mug you while you were texting and it fell into a puddle

I just remember hearing someone say that the insurance doesn't cover smart phones. That is my main concern.

[AI James]

it covers smartphones. just say it was stolen and pay the 50

it covers smartphones. just say it was stolen and pay the 50

No need, just looked on the asurion website, and saw that they cover water damage, but still no sign of whether they cover smartphones. I guess I will have to wait and see tomorrow

Yupp the dot on the phone and battery leeches red dye on the dots when wet but you can say you keep it in your pocket when you work out or some shit or just say it was stolen

alot of cell phones that people have dropped in water and stuff, i tell them to take the battery out, and everything. put it in a paper towel overnight in like a drawer with your socks or something. worked out plenty of times.

my mom has a blackberry and she did that when she washed hers. it works fine now

sounds stupid, but it would be worth trying
