am I eligible for Out-Of-Warranty Service?

[cuttinthestring]

Hi, I have a water-damaged iPhone 3G S and since Apple switched their policy for liquid-damaged iPhone's, it says I can replace my iPhone for the Out-Of-Warranty price for $199. I did not purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan and was wondering if I am eligible for the Out-Of-Warranty price. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you're eligible. Applecare has nothing to do with it.

Thank you so much for your help! Now I just need to find the time to go to the closest Apple Store. Do you have to schedule an appointment with the Geniuses before going cause it's about an hour drive from where I live.

Yes, I think you gotta make an appointment.

Yes, you do have to schedule. You "can" go there without scheduling, but if they're real busy you won't get waited on. If you're not sure when you'll go, just schedule a number of times. They'll delete them all after you show up.

Don't do that. It's tough enough to get appointments in busy stores.

So I should just go down there without scheduling an appointment or don't do it period?

Yes, schedule an appointment.

Don't schedule multiple ones though.
