Rent Your Next Phone Rather Than Buy It
Why? Horrible Idea
The people that this is intended for are the same people who break their phones all the time. They didn't take care of their phone they originally purchaces, why would they take care of this new one?
...
You say this like accident don't happen and or people are honest and don't steal stuff. Give me a break about 40% of the people we see loose or break their phones are very responsible.
on the other hand people that love the newest technology on the market are usually willing to pay for the device and take very good care of them.. Just look at apple users. they pay really good money for their computers but all the apples i see are in great shape

Hahaha that made me laugh. 95% of the people that come in with lost or broken phone are not responsible thats why they dropped their phone for the 100th time and looks like it was run over by a steamroller. And the people that loose them are irresponsible because they just leave their phones sitting around.

As customer, I have seen how parents just let their toddlers or infants hold or slobber all over the phone and drop it. Then you hear them say "Good thing we have the insurance". Then I have seen someone actually throw their phone against the wall because they wanted a new one. Not everyone mind you executes this type of behavior, but it really irks the crap out of me. Get your kid a fake phone for Pete's sake! I think after a certain amount of insurance claims, the fee should go up or the insurance even dropped.
...
With Asurion, the insurance DOES get dropped if you happen to do two claims within a twelve month period.
...
I would have to imagine the company has some type of insurance for this, or data to account for the percentage of customers that break their phone. I am sure they have mitigated that risk somehow. If not they are just stupid!
...
Out of curiosity, where the hell are we pulling statistics such as 40% from?
Just wondering...

the people who this is meant for are the people who get sick of their phones very quickly. for isntance I get sick of my cell phone after 3 months.

so you'd be happy paying $70-100 per month for your plan and then another $40 on top of that just for the phone? I'd call that a waste of money, time and security. what do you do if you leave any information on that phone, personal or business, and the next person to get it takes advantage of your error? not to mention transferring contacts and everything else that you personalize your phone with...
if it's something because you don't have insurance and you only have a couple months to your upgrade. brilliant.

Well think of it this way, after sometime you will be off contract with your provider, or even if on, you will be paying $400-$500 or more for a high end phone, then there are those who tire of them. For that niche, this just well may pay for them. Figure if you replace a high end phone every 6 months or so, this might pay.
...
but even when you replace that high end phone, youre still paying $50 extra a month for the replacement, so again what was the point? after a while go out and buy one? great, then youre stuck with it for 2 years and there was never any point in renting in the first place.
