Save Yourself Some Money!

My best friend Dennis ask me to blog about a little discovery I made the other day! Here it is, I just received my new Verizon I Phone 4, 32 g and it is extremely awesome but here is the thing, I received a text message from Verizon stating that I elected to not have their insurance coverage on my new I Phone at five or six dollars per month. I don’t know about you but I have had their coverage before and actually needed to make a claim with their deductible, etc It turned out to be cheaper to just order a new phone on a new contract! Surprised? I wasn’t either after all they are in the business of selling contracts. So when I received my new phone I had the idea to call my insurance company and ask them how I could insure my new phone, the suggestion was that I put it on my homeowners insurance and let me just add this would work on renters insurance as well. So the bottom line is this I was able to schedule the new phone as to not have a deductible, meaning I have full replacement cost insurance with no deductible for $28.00 per year as opposed to basically no coverage with Verizon for $6.00 per month, yup a third the cost for real insurance! This being said my insurance will cover everything except mechanical on the phone itself which is covered by the manufacturer. Lost, stolen, run over, falling in the water all covered. I am a very happy man and I hope this will make you happy as well!
