Cracked screens are one of the most common issues with smartphones, and cracked screen repair is usually covered by your provider’s insurance. On that note, you will also be interested in knowing about the top-rated smartphone insurance plans. Through the T-Mobile Protection<360> plan, you can get a cracked screen repair for $29 if your smartphone is eligible.

Sprint Phone Screen Repair
Protection<360> generally offers deals on screen repair at store locations and online. Alternatively, if you have Verizon, you can read our Verizon insurance cracked screen guide.
However, if you don’t have insurance and need to fix the screen yourself, we also have a guide on how to fix a cracked phone screen.
For more specific model information, you can look on the T-Mobile Protection<360> page or a local T-Mobile retail store. If your phone is covered, have a look at how to file a Sprint phone insurance claim.
Types of Repairs
This Samsung phone screen fix deal from Sprint seems to be a rare loss leader in the mobile phone repair and insurance world. If you don’t have device protection or insurance through your cell carrier, credit card company, or a 3rd party, it could save you money.
For example, paying out of pocket for a screen repair on a Samsung Galaxy could run as much as $120 to $150 at an independent repair location, and it costs slightly more for screen replacements.
Even if you do have device insurance that covers accidental damage, the deductible might equal what Sprint is currently charging to fix a cracked Samsung smartphone screen.
Eligible Devices
Most smartphones that are enrolled in the Protection<360> are eligible for a $29 screen repair. When you file a claim you will be given the choice of either repair or a replacement device.
Sprint Complete Insurance Repair Costs
If you have Protection<360> device protection or a similar insurance plan through your mobile phone carrier, a screen replacement is generally going to be covered under accidental damage.
However, you might be limited to a certain number of claims in a given period of time. Screen damage claims typically incur a deductible ranging from $29 to $150, depending on the type of phone.
Protection<360>offers same-business-day repairs and next-day replacements for most devices.
