Telecom carriers and device insurers deflect warranty replacement responsibility

When a device covered by insurance develops a manufacturer defect, carriers and insurers point to each other rather than resolving the claim. Consumers are left without a working device while paying for coverage that provides no benefit. The split between carrier responsibility and insurer responsibility creates an accountability gap that protects neither party from acting.

Xfinity Sales Reps Make False Promises That Lock Customers Into Unfavorable Contracts
