G930F and Squaretrade - will they insure it?

[jntdroid]

I'm looking to purchase the international G930F on Amazon. I know those models don't have a U.S. warranty available for them. I've seen mixed messages in various comment sections talking about how Squaretrade will still cover it. Does anybody have any experience with Squaretrade and these types of devices? Do you think they'll cover it?

TIA

I have a G930FD and was wondering the same thing. Here's what I found out today, after four hours of phone calls:

- T-Mobile will insure it (through Ausurion) with a $175 deductible. If you attempt to buy insurance more than 14 days after you buy the phone, you have to wait 60 days to file a claim. However, your coverage will start immediately.
- Square Trade will not cover any carrier-unlocked phones.
- Samsung Protection Plus will cover your phone *if and only if they can validate the IMEI*. I'm stuck in an endless loop of them trying to validate mine. The IMEI is valid, but they can't match it to a model number in their system.
- Samsung Repair Services has the same issue as Protection Plus.

If anyone has any information to the contrary or knows how to get warranty or repairs done by Samsung for the G930F or G930FD, PLEASE do share!
