Buyer beware: 2 years ago I bought a Droid cell phone and wireless air card from a Verizon reseller, for coverage in the event the devices were lost or stolen. The cost was $5.99/device per month, that is debited from your checking account or credit card, in addition to your cell phone bill. My phone was recently stolen. Upon going to the Verizon store in the town it was stolen, I was told they never heard of GRIP. Since I was on the road, desperate to replace the phone and not having the resources to research/file a claim, I didn't make the effort to contact GRIP. I called them today to file a claim and cancel the service. Of course, you can't do both at the same time. Plus, there is a $75 deductible. I cancelled and cut my losses, as a I don't need the stress of filing a claim and giving them even more money. I'm out a lot of money because I was an unsavvy consumer. Don't let this happen to you. These plans are unscrupulous. Don't be oversold!
