I currently and have always had Insurance for my phone. Nine months ago, I had participated in the manufacturers warranty program due to a slow and freezing operating system causing hindrances. Unknown to my knowledge as I always had a case on my phone my screen was cracked which resulted in a fee of $100 due to be paid to Verizon non negotiable. With no other options, I paid the fee. If I had noticed my screen being cracked and knowing I would be charged a fee I would have just went through my insurance company rather than dealing with all the nonsense from the manufacturer warranty department.
This time around my charging port has gone bad on my phone, I again decided hesitantly to participate in my manufacturer warranty. I received a phone from the warranty department and at the bottom of the screen there is a few bubbles in the screen possibly from the screen being replaced previously. So is it acceptable to allow a phone that I was told goes through over a 100 point inspection by Verizon on behalf of Samsung and given to a customer stated as a working condition phone with damage such stated?? I do know that if I were to allow this mishap to occur I would be charged up to $299 non negotiable. I simply asked for a one hundred dollar credit on my account and a different re-manufactured phone for the error on behalf of Verizon, is that wrong of me or too much to ask?
I am really starting to question Verizon and the way they treat customers. I, for one is considering changing carriers or warning customer of the manufacture warranty program that is in place.
What do you recommend?
