Samsung galaxy ace s5830 screen smashed

[stevescort172]

Hi,

Well today i managed to smash the screen on my phone.

Im halfway through a contract 24 month contract with 3 and was wondering whats the best option for me.

Do i phone 3 up tell them my misfortune ask for a upgrade and pay the fee, or do they send replacements??
Use the phone insurance i get on my bank account to get them to fix this phone (i havent actually registered it with them and would prefer a new phone)

if any one can help with more info that would be appreciated.

Thanks

They wont send a replacement unless you pay, paying out of your contract would cost more than the phone is worth.

As may your excess with your bank

Its about £130 to buy max on PAYG

Thanks for reply

how much would they normally charge for a replacement phone if i dont pay off the rest and upgrade.

I think to pay the contract off i'd end up 300 quid down i have 12 months left.
maybe buying one on PAYG would be better

Worth just ringing and asking them tbh.

See what they say, at least you know you can get one for around the £100 mark

WHy dont you just replace the screen

If the LCD isnt broken then the digitizer is even less to replace.

Hardest bit is separating the digitizer from the LCD.

I can change them if need be...
