T-mobile Fonesafe insurance scam
|
T-mobile G1 Fonesafe US I bought insurance in good faith. I lost my phone on Monday, searched high and low for it for two days and decided it was definitely lost so called Fonesafe on Friday morning. They took me through a 15-minute lucrative (for them) call, only to tell me at the very end of the call that as it was more than 48 hours since I last had my phone I couldn't make a claim. I am LIVID! From: Message Author (click here to email author)Date: Friday, 10-Jul-09 04:32:34 CDT Business: Reply Online Consumer: Comment On This Comment On ThisI am livid too. Ordered a new line and a new contract for my daughter. Went through all the insurance business. This was a year ago. My daughters phone got coffee spilt on it and I rang Fonesafe only to be told that my daighter isn't a registered user and that the claim isn't valid. T mobile and fonesafe saying I shoudl have registered her as a user of this phone and if I'd have read the small print, I would have seen it. Complete farce. To say I'm angry is an understatement.

I am looking to take this further and possibly to the FOS , any info on this would be greatful da_killaz AT hotmail.com From: Message Author (click here to email author)Date: Thursday, 17-Sep-09 13:19:08 CDT Business: Reply Online Consumer: Comment On This Comment On ThisA variation on this happened to me too. I called within 24 hours (despite being in a completely different time zone, with Fonesafe hardly providing a 24-7 service), and Fonesafe assured me that they would contact T-Mobile to tell them my phone had been stolen. T-Mobile says they never received such a call, and as a result, Fonesafe will not pay up. Misleading customers must be a lucrative business for them...
