Water damaged iphone (insurance claim)?

I filed a claim with Asurion through verizon, I was required to pay 169$ for a replacement phone.

the problem is that troubles me is that the only problem with the phone is that after it dropped in the water, the screen has a drip mark that won't go away, it won't turn off and there are some tones that don't play.other than that it works fine.

what I'm asking is if the claim is still legitamate. It's still noticeable damage, but is it claim worthy noticeable damage?

Ask the insurer.

Sure it's a legit claim, if you don't want to look at that drip mark. You'll send in your $169, they'll send you a refurb, and fix yours up to get rid of the drip mark, and send it as a refurb to the next person who files a claim.

"it won't turn off " - that should be enough to be a legitimate claim.

  • WATER DAMAGE iPHONE, file a claim? On 12/04/12 I dropped my phone in the toilet, and it is completely broken, trust me. I didn't know that if you try to turn it on after, that it would short circuit, so I messed up pretty badly. Now, I have cell phone insurance through asurion cell phone insurance, and they want a 169$ deductible for a replacement… How do I lie to them and say that it was a phone malfunction and not water damage?
  • Is it illegal to break a tv then get insurance and claim? If someone's kid breaks a 42" tv and there's no house insurance and you're moving, is it illegal to get house insurance then claim on that or say the movers broke your tv? And how can I report someone I don't like who is going to do that next week and I have proof it's broke and the child is 2 and has told me how she broke it. I really really hate this guy and he stole 2 of my iPhone 4's, I really want some payback!
  • IPhone 5 insurance claim I dropped a weight on the back of my iphone 5 accidently, the phone now has a dent on the back and can't be repaired by a local phone repair shop. I have taken out insurance on it which includes accidental damage. Should I tell the truth or will they be fussy about it?
