If the LCD and Digitizer are both cracked then you need to replace both Sometimes you just have to replace the digitizer I'm guessing you didn't have insurance on the phone? |

I'm googling what a digitizer is; that probably means I need to pay the $250. How do I check to see if both need to be replaced?

Generally its the Digitizer that needs to be replaced and not the underlying LCD - but you won't be able to tell until you get the old digitizer out |

I just (week before last) had a Samsung Galaxy 3 repaired at Quest Wireless. They quoted me $179 for the repair. Luckily, I had purchased a Squaretrade Warranty and they covered the entire repair after my deductible of $99. They had my money back to me the same day I forwarded the receipt from the repairs.
Phone looked as good as new and I sold it on Ebay for $200 two days later. http://questwireless.net/

FWIW, they told me most people do not repair their uninsured Samsung Galaxy
phones due to the cost. If the digitizer is damaged then the phone is basically fried without a repair. Most broken screens will need that repair and it is expensive.

I'm guessing you had your S3 for a year or more. If you purchased it in March of '12 you paid $109.25 in monthly fees and then another $99 for the deductible for the repair that cost $179?
I don't purchase them or any other warranties, but I do put money into a savings account each month.

We got the free* upgrade in Jan 2013. We paid the insurance since then. When we got the phone and insurance the S3 was still the newest Galaxy so prices for S2 parts would have been higher as would the cost of the phone. If I did not have the insurance I likely would have eaten the loss and not repaired it. As it was I still made a small profit on the phone when I sold it. Nothing like I usually make when I sell my phones in mint condition with the transferrable ST warranty. But all things considered I feel fortunate to not lose money on the phone. The sale of the phone helped finace my new S4 while my son gets my old S3. Also warrantied. Without the insurance the phone stays broken in the drawer.
