View Full Version : Bell SPC - Am I being sketchy/close to fraud?

I've been paying Bell seven bucks a month for a year and a half for Smart Phone Care on a SGS I9000m. 18 months later I have been watching Craigslist for a new phone as I can get a better phone for close to the $150 that SPC would charge, and my SGS is approaching death. Sometimes ringers don't work, battery life isn't what it used to be.

Last week I called to cancel SPC because $150 isn't worth an SGS.

Today my buddy dropped his SGS in the clay pot, they're out of stock in SGS so he's getting SGSII.

I immediately called, my cancellation was pre-dated for next billing cycle so they removed it. If/when my phone dies (Or perhaps if I accelerate that process, reading the terms to see if it would be bad) would it be sketchy? Would my file have a note of the cancel/un-cancel that would have them take a look and possibly make trouble?

I expect it's lifetime remaining is in months anyway, not the nicest to it and it gets an awful lot of use. So I probably wouldn't be guilty of conscience for engineering a claim.

Here you go google future readers, answered 75% of my own question.

They cover 'normal wear & tear' and will accept a device still functioning but damaged.

Only remaining question is whether or not my file says canceled/uncanceled and whether or not the insurance company will have anything to say about it.

And called them, told them exact circumstances. He recommended filing a claim.
