How to Get a Cheaper Verizon Screen Repair

Having a phone with a scratch-free screen ensures you can see everything clearly. Drop it even once, and you're likely to get a crack in the corner -- or worse, across the entire screen -- that makes it difficult to see and use. When you're in need of Verizon screen repair, come to DoNotPay first to get a quote.

You don't have to pay the most expensive price to have your Verizon phone's screen restored. Let DoNotPay get quotes in order, so you can get the repair handled for a cheaper price.

Is It Expensive to Get Your Screen Repaired Through Verizon?

No matter if you're getting a Verizon phone, iPhone, Apple product, or MAC computer fixed, it's going to be costly. Repairs are an expensive part of owning a device. However, the price is far less expensive to get your Verizon phone screen fixed if you have insurance.

Verizon Phone Repair Costs:

With Insurance:	$29
Without Insurance:	Up to $329 for newer smartphones

You must have already been signed up with one of the following insurance plans to use their lower, unlimited screen repair charge:

Either of these options can be applied to your bill when you first sign up, or you can choose to add it later. Be sure you're selecting the correct one, as two of them are only available to New York customers. Verizon Mobile Protect is for anyone outside of New York.

It can cost $17 per month to have a single device covered under VMP. Although this adds up to over $200 per year, you're getting to pay a small amount at a time rather than a lump sum at once when your screen gets broken. It's a worthwhile cost.

How Do I Request My Screen Repair Through Verizon?

The Verizon support page offers helpful documents for troubleshooting and finding answers fast. You can go to their website to find additional contact information as well, such as:

The "Chat with us" box that opens up a messaging feature
The Verizon messenger on Facebook
The Verizon Twitter feed
The Verizon customer service phone line at 800-922-0204
The sign-in for your Verizon account

The easiest option for requesting your screen repair is when you're already signed in to your account. If you have insurance set up, you can easily access the insurance website, Asurion, and make your repair claim. Start by entering the phone number of the affected phone, and your Verizon pin.

Does Verizon Offer a Refund on a Damaged Phone?

It's sometimes possible to get a Verizon refund. However, you're more likely to receive a replacement option instead. Damage is often done by accident, or at the fault of the phone's owner, not due to something Verizon did.

If your screen was simply scratched or cracked, you can get a replacement screen. If it was the body that was damaged, then you may be eligible for a certified, pre-owned phone replacement.

Just be sure you realize that you'll typically have to pay a damage fee when you send back your device. Since it's badly damaged, Verizon won't be able to sell it until it's been repaired and refurbished. If there was water damage, unreasonable wear, and tear, or hardware alterations, you will be held accountable and need to pay a fee for the trouble.

Get Your Verizon Screen Repaired Through a Third Party

You can, of course, utilize a third-party repair service instead. Rather than sending your phone to Verizon, you can bring it to a local shop. Search online to find a repair place that works on phones, tablets, and similar devices.

Be sure you aren't attempting to call an appliance repair shop that works on GE, Sears, or similar brands known for big-ticket items like refrigerators and washing machines. You may be able to find a place that fixes everything from phones to computers, and even Nintendo Joy-Cons, while others are specific to one brand, such as Samsung or Apple.

Ways to Avoid Excessive Repair Fees on Phone Screens

You can always reduce your repair fees by handling the fix yourself. You can purchase a screen replacement online and watch a tutorial on Youtube to get the old one out and the new one in. You just have to be sure it's back in the right place and the touchscreen feature is working before you're done.

If you don't have the means or the time to do it yourself, then getting quotes from several places can still help you save on costs. Be sure you inquire about all of their associated costs and what the final bill will be -- hidden fees and all.
