If you returned the phone, how did you still have it a year later?

They gave us a new (same) phone. They still made them.

We were under the assumption that the replacement phone was good for one year from when it was replaced, not the start of the contract. They thought otherwise.  
I guess the phone was covered for faulty factory stuff for one year.

Thanks, this is the next step, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Good luck! I’ve actually had some success with cell phone companies, but I haven’t had this particular problem.

[QUOTE=winewhore]  
It almost makes you want to spring for the warranty and “accidentally” drop your phone in an unflushed toilet three months in a row, doesn’t it.

Not when the deductible is $50 a pop.

And you only get 2 replacements in a 12 month period.
