Free replacement?

I have a charging problem. I've done everything that's been suggested online to try and fix it, with no avail. I have insurance for my phone (which I've had for about 6 months now), but instead of having to pay the deductible, can I get a free replacement? Since it is a manufacturing defect and all.

Try contacting Samsung directly for either a warranty replacement or repair.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

SeaDooSnipe,

I'm sorry to hear about your charging issues.  I know charging/battery issues can be very frustrating.  When did the charging issue occur?  Have you added anything new to the device recently?  If neccessary we can certainly review your warranty options.  Is there any physical or water damage to the device? 

These details will help us determine if we can improve your charging troubles.

This charging issue happened 2 days before the post. I've had to switch to

a temporary phone, until this one gets fixed.

The only damage is a small crack in the screen. This happened about 6

months ago, and was the only time it was dropped. Never has seen water.
