While there may be several cell phone glass repair options, finding the right one to meet your unique situation is essential to ensure you receive expert repair service in a timely fashion, so you can get on with enjoying your cell phone. If screen replacement is done properly, the phone should function exactly like it did prior to the break. Let’s take a look at some of the most common options for cell phone glass repair:
1. Contact the Manufacturer
Certain manufacturer or retail stores offer extended warranty options available for purchase. You should inquire about these options at the point of purchase for your new phone. That’s because there may be time restrictions on when you can still partake if you don’t buy the extended warranties right away.
2. Accidental Damage Insurance Coverage
Your carrier of choice may offer you an insurance plan. Typically, you need to buy it within thirty days of purchasing a new handset. To utilize this insurance, you’ll have to pay a monthly premium. It usually costs between a few dollars to $10 depending on what type of coverage you opt for. When you need to file a claim, you’ll be assessed a deductible depending on the type of device you have. Deductibles vary between $50 and $200 per incident. Also, you’re typically limited to two incidents per year.
3. Do It Yourself
If you are technically gifted, this option might be good for you. Glass screen components can vary widely. Older phone displays can cost as little as $30 or $40. However, newer flagships can cost $60-$100 or more, depending on where you shop for parts. In addition to purchasing the display itself, you would also need to purchase the tools to pry open the phone or the appropriate screwdrivers to get inside the device. The downfall to this option is that you can also wreck your phone if you don’t know what you are doing. So, make sure you have the skills and tools required to get the job done right.
4. Local Repair Shop
The best and safest option is to find a third party, independent repair shop. This gives you not just peace of mind. However, it also provides you with the option to simply drop off your damaged phone for repair instead of mailing your device off to an out of town repair center. A certified technician will carefully remove the screen from your phone, replace it, and get it back to you in the condition it was prior to the break.
