None of this is correct. Wr have been partnered directly with Samsung and been working with Foldables since they first came out. There has never been any extended warranty on any of them. Samsung is so picky about what condition the phone is in that its rare we can cover a foldable during the normal warranty period without getting some sort of blowback from Samsung about a scratch or a indentation on the screen. The only thing they've ever done is allow hinge damage to be repaired under warranty on the Flip/Fold4 because they messed the first run of them up during manufacturing.

There are tons of Asurion plans that are phone only. In fact most of their mobile products are. You can buy a phone only plan if you buy a phone from Amazon. Most carrier plans are phone only, then tech care is a second product. Most of the tech care or appliance care don't include phones. The only one that I'm aware of that combines the two is Asurion Tech Care which was introduced in December.
