Should getting an iphone screen fixed be free?

Finally got an iphone! Its an iphone 3 but it works good and i use it as a gophone from att but my boyfriend accidentally cracked the screen. Is it free to get an iphone screen fixed or does it still cost about 50$ to go and get it repaired?

It's not free unfortunately, Apple will charge you something like $200 to get it fixed. I went to iScreenxFix.com and followed their repair guides and videos to fix my screen. All I did was replace my screen with a new one that I bought on eBay and it worked! It was really quick and easy as well, and I saved about 3/4 of the price apple would charge
