Our phones are on the move with us all the time. They're how we connect with one another, access information and take deeply interesting pictures of our food. As such, most of us have had the experience of watching it slip out of our hand and land on the ground with a *crack*, keeping our fingers crossed that the screen isn't smashed.
According to Asurion, we reach for our phones a whopping 352 times a day, so accidents are bound to happen. But considering how much we rely on our devices, we can't afford for them to be out of commission due to a bit of fumbling. That’s where Verizon Mobile Protect comes in. Whether it's a cracked screen or water damage, Verizon Mobile Protect offers quick, same-day repair and replacement services to ensure nothing gets in the way of our busy lifestyles.
Cracked screens
Admittedly, a cracked screen often doesn't slow you down. You just keep using your phone, reminded 352 times a day of how you carelessly dropped it.
But you don’t have to live that way. Verizon Mobile Protect provides unlimited screen and back glass repairs on select smartphones. If you're worried it may be too costly, let this put your mind at ease: The most you’ll pay to replace your damaged device is $99 per claim. A new phone for $99! Go forth and fear the concrete no more.
Waterlogged tech
Phones today are sleek and gorgeous, but that doesn't lend itself to grippability. That's not a word, but you know what I mean. Without a case, they can slip right out of your hand and into… oh, I don't know, a tub, a fountain, Lake Michigan. Sometimes it isn't even your fault! Maybe your toddler got their hands on your device and also happens to be fascinated with the toilet.
Sometimes there isn't enough rice on the planet to bring a device back from the dead. Verizon Mobile Protect is designed to keep you moving, offering same-day delivery and setup to replace your device seamlessly. Plus, with unlimited claims, you won't have to worry about your toddler's sticky fingers. (Though you should probably wash their hands, especially after the toilet incident.)
Disappearing devices
It's not just about damage. This year, one in six customers will lose, damage or have their phone stolen, according to Asurion. It's inconceivable to me that anyone would be away from their phones long enough to lose it, but we all know those people. Perhaps they're in your own family. I'm not calling anyone out, but I (anecdotally) find that people who didn't pay for the device play a little fast and loose with its location.
If you share a mobile plan with someone like that, I've got great news. Verizon Mobile Protect is an affordable option, coming in at $19 a month for one device and $60 a month for three registered lines. If you're covering younger members of the family, you'll also want to take advantage of the digital security and privacy tools like Tech Coach, Digital Secure and Call Filter. Covering those who aren't tech-savvy? Verizon Mobile Protect offers 24/7 tech support. All levels of tech literacy are welcome.
Optimized performance
Sometimes we all need a refresh. A new haircut, a change in style or a subscription to a pilates class that you only went to once (but kept paying for). More useful than all of that is the in-person device refresh provided with Verizon Mobile Protect. That, in addition to speedy battery replacements at Verizon-authorized repair facilities, will have you teaching your phone new tricks.
Any number of things could happen to your device—unreliable charging, broken camera, staticky speaker. Why risk having a busted phone when you can just sign up for coverage? Open enrollment for Verizon Mobile Protect is from 8/15 to 10/13, and you can sign up through your online account, the MyVerizon app, or by visiting your local Verizon store. Don't wait. Your toddler is staring at your tablet as we speak.
