I bought a new Samsung Galaxy 2 S phone from T-Mobile with
insurance.  I then switched the SIM card
with my old MyTouch4G phone, so I could keep my old phone number.  I was told that this would not be a problem
by the people in the T-Mobile store several times.  Ten days later, my new phone was stolen while
I was at work.  I called T-Mobile and they
told me that they will not replace my phone and that the insurance policy is
attached to the SIM card/phone number not the handset.   I was deceived by T-Mobile into believing
that I had insurance on my phone.   Additionally,
Asurion, has a $130.00 deductable on this class phone and if they don’t have
one like the one that is being replaced they substitute a different model.  My claim was turned down three times for
three different reasons.   

I would like to know if there could be a class action law
suit brought against Asurion and T-Mobile. 
I know I am not the only one who believes that the insurance should go
with the handsets IMEI or serial number rather than somehow be attached to the
SIM card / Phone Number.  Something
should be done to prevent this type of underhanded thing from happening.

10 days after paying $230.00 and entering into a 2 year
agreement my new phone is stolen.  $40
more for a 16GB SD card.  Monthly
insurance fee, monthly service fee, etc. 
I am disgusted with thieves and with the absence of ethics in business.
Especially T-Mobile and Asurion.  I will
have to purchase another SIM based phone or early terminate my new phone line
for $200.00 that I cannot afford right now.

They should replace my stolen phone.  I was never told that coverage was tied to
the SIM card rather than the handset.
