If you’re experiencing problems with your Cricket Wireless service that aren’t covered by device insurance, you may still be able to claim compensation.
Are you having a problem with your cell phone? Did your product unexpectedly fail, stop working right in the middle of an important phone call with your mother? Is it damaged unexpectedly and now you need a replacement part? That’s what insurance is for.
So now you want to know how to file a phone insurance claim for Cricket Wireless cell phones. We explain the steps.
If you bought phone insurance from Cricket Wireless, it came from a company called Asurion. You can file a phone insurance claim on their site first.
You can file a phone insurance claim for Cricket Wireless as long as the issue is something covered by your insurance plan or by the coverage plan provided by the phone company. This is going to be different for each person and will be outlined in the specific phone insurance plan you have purchased Asurion.
This works very much the same as any other type of insurance policy. When you take out an insurance policy whether it’s for your health insurance or your car insurance, or any other type of insurance, you pay a certain amount every month in exchange for the guarantee that very specific types of damages or situations will be covered by the insurance company if they take place.
Most policies have the coverage meaning the things for which the insurance company will pay out, the premium or the amount that you pay every month, and the deductible which refers to the amount you might have to pay for any and all claims out-of-pocket before your insurance policy will kick in. Each policy is different so you need to read the fine print of yours to determine whether you have a deductible and if you do, whether you have met it yet.
The process is very simple. When you go to file a phone insurance claim for Cricket Wireless, you start by choosing your cell phone provider, which again in this case would be Cricket Wireless.
After that you explain what happened to your phone, and when it happened. The more details you can provide, the faster the process will be.
Depending on the plan you have, the company will either have you send the phone to their service centers where they will repair it, they will replace the product, or reimburse you the money to do it yourself. Every claim is unique and in some cases your product might be replaced with a new phone or a refurbished phone.
Like almost all insurance programs, you will have to pay whatever your deductible is when you file the claim. In most situations your deductible is less money than you would pay at full retail price if you were to buy a new product.
If you do opt for a new product you can take out an Asurion phone insurance plan that will protect you against costly repairs, unexpected product failures, and replacements.
