General Comments
Sprint insurance plan replaced (at a cost of $35 + $3.00/Month) my defective Nokia 6185 with a Samsung SCH-3500 mobile phone. I cancelled my Sprint service after two months because I was not using the phone. In the mean time I bought a StarTac with Verizon service. Couple months later I gave the Samsung phone to my mother and she established service. After a month of using it just fine, the phone now is unusable. It keeps dropping calls immediately. The phone is being operating in known good signal areas. The signal strength keeps going to 0 bars. Sprint will not replace the phone.
I love my StarTac, it is not rich on features, however it works well, has adjustable volume that is loud, and very reliable. The battery is small, so I can keep a spare in my back pocket.

you are very right about the service plan as well as how much of a piece of trash the phone is...... run from the samsung 3500....... the one I have refuse to stay in the on position....it keeps cutting off....... what a peice of garbage...... I paid my $35 also.... I will file a small claim against the company in court ......... I have plenty of time on my hands.......... equipment rip-off would be a better name for the plan.......
