Smart launches new smartphone protection plan

SMART Communications is giving mobile users more peace of mind when it comes to securing their devices. The telco giant is set to launch Smart Phone Protect, an affordable mobile phone protection plan exclusive to its prepaid and postpaid subscribers.

For an annual fee starting from P125 to a high of P2,500 (fee depends on the device value), Smart Phone Protect provides basic protection coverage for devices, such as screen repair, accidental damage and liquid damage.

For the advanced level of protection covering theft or loss from fire, Smart offers

Phone Protect+ for an annual fee starting from P180 to a high of P3,600 (fee depends on the device value).

Device coverage for Phone Protect and Phone Protect+ ranges from P5,000 to P100,000, depending on the Smart plan availed.

Smart Phone Protect may cover new and old devices in good functioning condition and may apply to devices purchased from Smart and the open market, ensuring that all subscribers — whether on prepaid or postpaid — can benefit from this service.

“Our smartphone has become an extension of life as we rely on it for productivity and essential services, which is why it is a must that we protect it. Smart Phone Protect makes it easier for all of us to safeguard our mobile device at such an affordable price comparable to phone accessories,” said Lloyd Manaloto, head of Prepaid at Smart.

“With Smart Phone Protect, peace of mind doesn’t have to leave a dent in your budget. You just need to choose a plan that suits your device and preferred payment terms,” said Jerome Almirante, head of Innovations and Digital Services at Smart.
