Verizon Mobile Protect has your phone covered against everyday mishaps

Two friends hug while one holds a smartphone.

Accidents happen — it’s a fact of life that doesn’t actually make it any easier to swallow when the accident involves a nice, shiny and new smartphone meeting an untimely fate. Then it gets  worse when you’re  faced with the bill for a new phone to replace a phone you might still be paying off. Verizon doesn’t think it should be this way, and its Verizon Mobile Protect* can help you soften the blow if bad things happen. 

Important things deserve protection. Cars get insured, our bodies get insured, and homes get insured. Now you can make sure your smartphone gets insured, too.

Verizon Mobile Protect is an affordable protection option for your smartphone or other eligible devices that can cover you for accidents big and small. It includes features you can use everyday as well as those you want to have ready should the worst happen.

If your smartphone’s screen is cracked, Verizon Mobile Protect will help get it  fixed for only a $29 deductible per claim**  instead of paying full retail price to replace it.. Not only that, you can get the repair done promptly, so you’re not stuck without a phone for a lengthy period of time. If your damaged phone is beyond saving and you decide to upgrade, Verizon Mobile Protect provides same-day delivery and setup*** for new devices purchased on verizon.com, to get you up and running on a new phone in no time.

Verizon Mobile Protect isn’t just about taking care of your smartphone physically. It also includes services you’ll be able to use more regularly. You can get help securing and optimizing your phone’s performance with 24/7 Tech Coach support and 24/7 Security Advisor****. Verizon Mobile Protect also can help protect you with ID theft monitoring and call screening to block spam callers using the included Tech Coach, Digital Secure, and Call Filter apps*****. 

You can get Verizon Mobile Protect for a single line with an eligible device or if you have a larger account,  you can get Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device . Single line coverage will add $17/month or $14/month, depending on device type to your monthly Verizon bill. For accounts with 3-10 lines with eligible devices, the plan is $50/month and provides you the ability to protect  up to 3 registered devices on your account every 12 months

You can enroll in Verizon Mobile Protect when you activate a new device or Bring Your Own Device (requires a new line of service) or within 30 days of that activation. However, you can also enroll right now during Verizon’s special open enrollment period running through April 13. This special period provides a rare opportunity to get Verizon Mobile Protect, or any other device protection option, on an eligible device you’re already using as long as your device is in good working order, doesn’t have damage and is free of defects.

And that’s not all that they offer. Verizon’s entire suite of device protection options are available to ensure you peace of mind. To learn more about Verizon Mobile Protect, or any other protection options,  you can visit their page to sign up today.
