    I submitted a claim today for an I836 that got melted when it fell into a
    Frialator (sp?). The claim process went very well, until they told me there
    was a $100 deductible. On this page:
    http://www.nextel.com/en/support/ser...tect_ins.shtml and
    in the downloadable brochure at
    http://www.nextel.com/assets/pdfs/en...ct_protect.pdf
    the I836 is not on the list of phones with a $100 deductible. They said they
    were sorry about that, sorry that the web site and the brochure were out of
    date, nothing they can do, the deductible is still $100.

    Any thoughts on whether this is worth pursuing? Has anyone ever had any luck
    with Nextel in a similar situation?

    Thanks,

    Go up the chain, ask for a manager or start writing letters.

    If you become annoying enough they'll give you what you want so that
    you'll go away (especially since you're right)

    There is an insurance complaint board in each state. I had a problem with
    Lockline, and they gave me the run-around. I filed a complaint on day 1;
    day 2 lockline called and asked me if I could help them get this complaint
    settled; day 3 they sent me a "check". Getting a complaint thru the state
    insurance regulator agency must be "a big deal." Save a copy of the web
    site (print screen) as well as the brochure. If it is out of date, that
    isn't your problem; and while unintentional, sounds like FRAUD, and your
    state agency will want to see this fixed; and the insurance folks will want
    your complaint to go away.

    Check out your states insurance watch-dogs; and make sure that you have the
    name of the insurance company that is legally registered to offer that
    service in your state. The real name... not a dba. dr.
