Installment Plan Status After Asurion Payout
I just filed a claim for one of the phones on our plan and, instead of being offered a repair or replacement, Asurion indicated that they don't have that phone and they would just do a payout for it.
If I accept the payout I will have to return the broken phone, which is no big deal, but my question is what becomes of the installment credits that were being received for that line.
I suppose I could use the payout to pay off the remaining balance for that line and enter a new installment agreement for a replacement phone.
Am I able to instead purchase a new phone outright and continue to use that line with the new phone ( while still receiving the credits)?
I suspect the last option is probably me trying to both have my cake and eat it but I figured I would ask. Thanks!
