“How long is the Samsung Galaxy s III's warranty if you do not buy the protection plan? When I got my phone on black friday, I was not offered the protection plan. Since I just found out that you cannot add the protection plan after you buy the phone (which is not my fault but since I have no way to prove it, they wont give it to me. UGH!) how long is the warranty for the phone? What does it cover?”

1 year parts and labor warranty covers manufacturer defects only, so don't drop it. Here is a Best Buy tip: if it is still within the return period, go back to the store with your receipt and purchase the Performance Service Plan. Theoretically you can return the phone and just rebuy it with a Service Plan right? They should be able to do a "paper return." If customer service doesn't understand, get a manager, I'm sure they would love to sell you a Service Plan. The reason they normally wouldn't is that a person could mess up a phone and try to buy a warranty afterwards, but if you show them the phone is still good and still within the return period it should work. Your carrier usually offers some sort of extended insurance/warranty as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.With AT&T you have 30 days from purchase to get the insurance. But, you have a one year warranty on it anyway. It doesn't cover accidental damages to your device, but if it is defective, they send you a REFURBISHED one to replace it. The battery is NOT covered under either plan.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! Thanks for your question. One thing I would recommend is our Geek Squad Black-Tie Protection. It is a monthly cost, usually $9.99 a month on iPhones it is $14.99, deducted from your credit card account, that covers everything except full water submersion and it being lost or stolen. That means even if you break the phone we will fix it or replace it for free with no deductible. This can only be added in store up to 30 days after the phone is purchased from Best Buy. Even if you were to have gotten a free phone when you signed your contract, it will cost you almost $300 to replace it. So keep that in mind when you decide to get a new phone. http://www.geeksquad.com/uploadedFiles/wwwgeeksquadcom/protection_plans/black_tie/1941-0232552-mobile-phones-brochure.pdf If you have any further questions on this issue or would like to speak with a live agent, please call: 1-888-BESTBUY
