V3 No Incurance??
I myself will not buy this phone if cingular doesnt offer incurance.

When I bought my v3 from a cingular store today, there was no mention that they did not cover it with insurance. I asked for the insurance and they gave it to me. I don't know what would happen if I tried to make a claim.

Again, not that I expect to need it, but I ha...

I promise you they will not honor it. We have been advised not to sell insurance with the phone, at all.

That's a ridiculous statement to make, and destroys your credibility, because you have no way to control - or predict - the outcome of a decision that will ultimately be made by your bosses.
I assume you are a Cingular rep. If you made that statement to me I would immediately stop dealing with you. Once you take that stance, you're labelling yourself as a drone, a "no" from you means nothing, and you're obviously not in a position to help me.
The world isn't full of black and white decisions. Stop dealing with your customers like a robot. Try to understand it from their vantage point, help them work within the system. You will INCREASE your sales if you do, or you'll get higher customer satisfaction ratings, AND you'll enjoy your job m...
