Got super lucky at the phone store today

Went to T-Mobile to finish my claim for a cracked screen, the pixels were starting to die and I wasn’t about that.

They told me the deal was this: $99 and they send me a refurbed unit. Completely different phone, same model just refurbished (iPhone XR).

He goes to finish up my claim and comes back and tells me: “We don’t have any refurbed units in to ship at this time. That’s okay, we will send you a new one.”

Went home with my cracked phone and am expecting my brand new iPhone XR tomorrow! I was told it’s a low percentage of time that they don’t have refurbed units in, so I feel super lucky. No need to upgrade for a few years now, and I only owe $100 on my cracked phone, which transfers over to my new phone. $100 payment and it’s mine to own!

Not super savings or anything like that but hey I’ll take the small victories. How was everyone else’s day?
Curse you, Bayle! I hereby vow! You will rue this day! Behold, a true Drake Warrior! And I, Igon! Your fear made flesh! Solid of scale you might be, foul dragon … But I will riddle with holes your rotten hide! With a hail of harpoons! With every last drop of my being!
Damn OP that's hella lucky, congrats!

That's pretty cool, congrats on the new phone OP.
Buy my signature!
Sick, my friend did this with a MBP, he bought a refurbished older model and the company he bought it from had no stock so they provided him with a refurbished M1 version which is pretty dope.
I know buddy went home with the biggest smile congrats
Glad that somewhere in this world, proper customer service still exists. Enjoy the new phone buddy, you probably deserved that!
Nice! Just make sure you don’t drop this one lmao
Lol like user above said becareful to not drop the new one as it happends often.

Hah! Believe it or not the damn thing was on my bed - under a rather thin pillow- and I SAT on it! It was between a pillow and the bed and it still cracked. I was baffled when it happened so it seems pretty spot on but lucky that this should happen to be my replacement :D

That's lucky yeah, most of the time you'd just be asked to buy a new one.
It was your lucky day, for sure. I doubt that would happen in my area.

That's definitely good service, but maybe you have some excess charisma oozing out of you.
you are really luckey at this point my friend.
You are so lucky OP...that's a great day to be thankful :)
