Top Positive Review

This is a great plan–but you need to know how it works. I bought an expensive mouse from Amazon and bought this for protection. During the first year, while under warranty, something minor went wrong, and found Asurion WILL NOT repair or replace any item under the manufacturer’s warranty. After the second year, after the warranty had expired I accidentally damaged the wheel, so I contacted Asurion. YOU NEED TO GO TO ORDERS, AND SEARCH FOR YOUR ITEM AS WELL AS THE ASURION CONTRACT because they need both order numbers to start your claim. I STARTED BY CLAIM BY TALKING TO AN AGENT and was so disappointed because they kept asking if I have contacted the manufacturer 1st. I gave up and continued my claim via chat, which was SMOOTH. Once an item is older and obviously out of warranty, it seems no one should question it; the CHAT AGENT quickly approved replacement. They emailed a return label for pre-paid UPS return of the item, THEN issued an AMAZON credit code via email covering the original cost (but not the tax) AFTER they received my item. Everything was slick and easy about the process –EXCEPT THE LIVE AGENT–which I won’t bother with next time. I was informed that the replacement is ONLY GOOD ONCE. So after receiving my new mouse–I bought another contract.
I purchased the same item again

The confirmation email that I got from Asurion seems to imply that basically you are covered for damage done by a power surge, and that’s about it. If your product is still under warranty, then it seems that you need to go through the manufacturer if there is a product failure. Also, I read the first 2 pages of 5 star reviews, and NONE OF THEM stated that they used the insurance. All the 5 star reviews on the first 2 pages stated that they were glad to have the insurance, NOT that they actually used it. As far as I’m concerned, those 5 star reviews that I read could be fake, or at least are worthless reviews because they don’t confirm that a claim was made. I think that I just wasted my money for nothing.

Customer Questions & Answers

In order to get the answering feature, do you have to have landline caller Id/service?
Answer: We switched from landline service (with caller ID service) with AT&T to cable phone (which includes caller ID service) via Spectrum, and our everything about the phone works exactly the same as it did with the landline – answering machine, caller ID, everything.

Answer: Mary – Yes, the telephone base is wall mountable. Thank you!

Is there a range extender that can be used with this system ?
Answer: Not that I’m aware of….but your good for at least 150 ft

Do you have to turn the ringer off on all handsets and base individually? Or can you just tell the system once to turn off all ringers?
Answer: Dargo – Each handset and the base have independent ringer control. HOWEVER, if you want to turn the ringers off temporarily (from 1 to 12 hours), use the QUIET MODE feature, which turns all sounds off on the entire system.
