Insurance

I don't think any carrier offers insurance for a prepaid phone, just but a new one at the store and you can even keep your old phone #. The main reason is that you can't be billed the monthly insurance premium or the deductible for replacement.

We have a business in Tulsa, OK that repairs Water Damage phones for $20. It is a cleaning process that works 70% of the time. Let us know if we can help. alexiser@mac.com
