ACTIONpack Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm going to be sending my Lumia 925 to Microsoft tomorrow. I got the UPS shipping label from them and everything. Second microphone not working so no Cortana or speech to text. I will be without that phone for at least 2 weeks. I and most would not live without a smartphone these days. As a graphic designer, I can't do anything without it. What are my options? Would T-Mobile let me get a loaner phone if I put down $50 if they are not the one going to fix?

tsupersonic Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Could always pick up a Lumia 520/521 for less than $50 before you sent in your phone. Not sure why you would go without a phone these days, seems like you should've planned for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropheed Veteran Posted November 4, 2014 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ask a friend if they have an old phone. I have an S2, S3 and Nokia N8 just laying around because me and my Wife have upgraded a couple times. I'm willing to bet a lot of people are just like me in that regard.

beanboy89 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 This is why I have a magnitude of backup phones laying around ay any time. Some people call me crazy, but it's good to have backups if you ever run into a situation where one's needed. You can get the Lumia 521 or 530 at retail for about $60.

When i had them, they would send me out a replacement phone and I would send back the bad one when I got the new. Anyway, I would invest in another phone to have on hand and to use as a spare. I use my old Verizon phone as my backup. I always keep my last phone as a backup. If I dont use the voice, then I will use it as an MP3 player, xbox controller, or other things until I need it.

daorbed9 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yes I always received a replacement phone first and sent mine back in the box they sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
