someone stole my iphone last night, why does this phone not have insurance

[denigro153]

i was at a bar last night and had my iphone belt clipted to my waist and someone took it and i didnt even feel it and i remember just playing with it like 5 mins before, now i have to go get another one because theres not insurance for theft apparently or atleast to my knowledge which is rediculous and i know whoever took it cant get in it cause i had auto lock on and a passcode that is pretty difficult i think and when i call it it just goes to voicemail so im guessing they couldnt get in it and it just died

im pissed i have to go get another one

Are you with AT&T, because T-Mobile or another carrier won't cover it under insurance because it's not their phone.

If you are with AT&T. You can the phone blacklisted so it will just be an iTouch. But the lock screen won't help much if they put it in DFU and restore the firmware

[brokentwice]

I dont mean to be a ****.... but a simple restore and your passcode is gone

[chrisperro]

Buy a new one because is nothing you can do, if blacklisted a simple unlock will work and a passcode a simple restore will do it.

just a little info for you , if you have state farm insurance you can get what is called a personal articals policy on your phone i paid 34.00 for the year and there is no deductable if anything goes wrong with it or is stolen, they just cut you a check for a new one. its a must have if you own this phone.

Everyone should lojack their phone.

Also if you had Dock installed they can bypass the lock screen with that.

Sorry for your loss, it's a terrible thing that happened.

yeah man....so sorry! and that f#$%^ng thief wud be lurking these forums! May he rot in hell or have a truck run over him.Over and over and over...

if you get a new phone, head over to statefarm.com insurance co.
They have a full coverage plan they offer for $35 a year.
I have home owners and car insurance with them so I get a discount from that price.
It's a pretty good deal. It does cover stolen.

[denigro153]

thanx lol thats actually pisses me off more cause i know your right i didnt think about it even though ive jailbroken my phone numerous times i forgot that the passcode doesnt stay but thats a good point and im going to go get that insurance because i just picked up a new phone today thanks

i think the old phone will automatically get disconnected though now that i have this new one wont it ?

[bargsbeer]

Just a bit of advice check Craigslist.com and Ebay everyday. There is a strong possibility it will end up for sale. It's worth a shot .....Good luck.

dude. Leave your att account. Have them triagulate the position of your phone. Tell police. They can track him and catch the bastard.

That sucks. I worry about that too so I carry mine in my front pocket. I am also a life long geek so I have learned to avoid areas where my stuff might get jacked. Your regular insurance carrier should have a plan that will cover your next phone.

Do you know if Geico offers the same thing?

I think I'm gonna call them and find out, cause it could definitly come in handy
