Yet another LG Rumor touch screen DEAD

I've seen a ton of people with this problem and have come to the conclusion this phone is a complete and utter pile. I've had it less than a year and all of a sudden the screen barely works. I hit a button and the button on the opposite side of the screen will be selected. Well no big deal, I have insurance. SO I file a claim and get my new Rumor Touch in the mail today. Guess what? This phone's screen is dead on arrival. Wow so now I'm pretty ticked off. I have two phones that I can't do anything with and can't even make a call to customer service because the NEW phone that's activated has a completely dead screen! My old one I was replacing worked better than this (with a lot of effort and resetting I could finally hit the button I wanted) but guess what...it's deactivated! So I'm stuck here not being able to call anyone to solve this problem.
I'm pretty ticked that this insurance company doesn't check a phone to ensure it works properly. Talk about extremely poor quality control. I mean cmon, if it's your business to send out phones to replace ones that don't work...wouldn't it be a top priority to ensure you don't send out a damaged phone to replace a damaged phone??
Never getting a LG phone again. I guess my only option is to go to the sprint store and have them sort it out. I BETTER be leaving with a phone that works at no charge.
Hi qwiksilver15, I understand your frustration. I would suggest, as you stated, going into a service center to see if this is something that can be fixed by our technicians. They may be able to troubleshoot and come to a resolution without you contacting Asurion. If they are unable to get the replacement device working, I am sure that you will be referred back to Asurion in order to get a working device since they sent you the phone. I can also let you know for future reference, unless your phone is lost/stolen or physically/liquid damaged, there would be no reason to file an insurance claim. Depending on what's wrong with the device, it can be replaced under the warranty. I hope everything works out for you.

I ended up going to the sprint store...the service was downright terrible. I walked in and was greeted and I explained my situation. He then shortly just told me well you have to call the insurance company...I again explained I couldn't make a call. He again told me in a non polite manner I could use the display phone to call them. So I get on the phone with a guy from India with a phone attached to cord as he's telling me to look up numbers so I'm having to take the new phone apart etc while trying to keep the phone to my ear (getting pulled away by the cord). As I'm spelling out stuff (password etc) to the tech (who says he can barely hear me) the salemen at the door are laughing at me and I overhear them say "is he playing scrabble?". Pretty frustrating. Finally after 10 minutes on the phone with the tech (who also wasn't very speedy about getting me taken care of) I approach a sprint employee about getting my old phone (that somewhat works) activated again until I get a replacement. He cuts me off and says he's with a customer (who's 10 feet away from him), then just points without saying anything to a circle of employees just sitting there chatting. I assume he's saying they can help me.I walk up and don't say anything as I don't want to interupt them...they ignore for a good 20 seconds and then finally I say something. One of the employees says she can help and brings me over to activate the phone. Overall I felt like I was a inconvienence to these people and then they make fun of me instead of offering help. Unbelievable. It just didn't seem that sprint really preaches to them the importance of customer service?? I'm not sure if a manager was on or present at the time.
This entire experience has really been a wake up call to the quality of service Sprint has now days. It's just gotten terrible. Not to mention I get calls from sales staff trying to sell me stuff like telemarkers.
Unless I see a huge deal offered to me from Sprint (which I doubt I'll see), I'm definitely taking my business elsewhere when my contract is up. Pretty sad after being a customer for over a decade...
