Turn On Phone Warranty For Free

While your phone does come with a factory warranty, that doesn't cover theft, loss or accidental damage -- it only covers manufacturing defects. If you're careful, you might get away with only having a warranty. Just don't crack your screen, drop it in liquid, lose your phone or have it stolen.

You'll have to contact your retailer or manufacturer to find out the process or refer to the warranty itself. You'll probably be asked to return the device to a service center.

You must have once purchased a phone with a warranty covering at least one year from the date of purchase. This warranty is a written statement that guarantees that the manufacturer will repair or replace your phone if it comes with a factory defect or damage within a specified time frame from the date of purchase.

Although it's not required to fill out a card or register your warranty to be eligible for coverage in the future, many companies offer the option to register your product with them online to streamline the claim filing process in the future.

Common reasons a device is out of warranty: The original manufacturer warranty period is expired. The device was purchased through a third party, like a friend or re-seller. Device has third-party parts from an unauthorized repair. Liquid or physical damage is present.

A manufacturer warranty comes free with a new phone, but it will only cover hardware or electrical failures that are due to faults in manufacturing. Beyond that, you're on your own to repair or replace your device if it gets damaged.
