It is about time Cingular is offering coverage to BB users, see:

I misread what was on the cingular site, below are the RIM models that are not covered which I assumed were; I misread it, sorry everyone.

That's awesome. AT&T uses a company called LockLine and they do not cover any PDAType devices. I wonder, since I pay Cingular if I could use their INS plan to cover mine.

Chris, I think Cingular is using Lockline also.

Hi Chris,

Click the link on my original post and then click under Program Details:

Service Contract for Enhanced Warranty Protection Plan
(English)

This is the contract from LockLine.

How was LockLine from your experience through AT&T?

clcik that link again and read the list of phones that are NOT covered all of the blackberries are in that list. And yes cingular uses lockline.

[SKG]

Yes, the following are covered so far:

RIM
6210
6280
7100g
7280
7290
7780

That is great news; I almost didn’t buy my 7290 because they did not have insurance for it. I usually manage to destroy a phone somehow every 2 years or so. I’m going to go check it out today.

SKG,

Lockline is great. I only had to use them once because I dropped my Motorola V600 so many times that the screen would only flash over and over. I never had any problems with them. The extra money is worth it.

[ChrisLuce]

Ah, the one difference I did notice is that there is a $50.00 charge added to your bill if they have to replace your phone, with AT&T, the charge is on $35.00. But the way I see it, $50.00 is better than $300+

Are you guys reading a different web site than I am?

Looks to me like many Blackberry devices are NOT covered.

"The following wireless devices do not qualify for coverage:"
# RIM
* 6210
* 6280
* 7100g
* 7280
* 7290
* 7780

hey, went to the site and checked it out as well. most rim devices are not covered. heck, most phones worth having (imo) are not covered according to that list.

My mistake, the RIM models in my post are not covered:( I read it wrong, sorry.
