Unlocking Growth Through Digital Value-Adds
Selling Mobile Device Protect allows operators to monetize a non-physical product without the cost or complexity of building new infrastructure. Because it integrates seamlessly into the purchase flow, it immediately increases average cart value and opens new opportunities for upselling and cross-selling. This creates a recurring revenue stream that compounds over time — all while enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. It’s a smart way to scale margin and maximize lifetime value with minimal operational lift.

Inside Mobile Device Protect
Mobile Device Protect is a bundled program designed to give customers peace of mind while creating measurable value for operators. It combines three components:
Insurance
Covers loss, theft, and accidental damage, including cracked screens and liquid damage. This protects customers from costly, unexpected events and gives them confidence to upgrade devices more often, driving higher satisfaction and repeat business.
Service Contract
Extends coverage for device malfunctions or hardware failures beyond the manufacturer’s warranty. By reducing out-of-pocket expenses for repairs or replacements, customers keep their devices in use longer, lowering churn and improving brand loyalty.
Technical Support
Provides customers with ongoing support for setup, troubleshooting, and usage questions. Available seven days a week, it builds trust and ensures a frictionless experience, directly contributing to stronger retention and higher lifetime value.
Tiers
Mobile Device Protect pricing is offered in three tiers, determined by the type of device being protected. Higher-value devices are assigned to higher tiers with different pricing and deductible levels, while lower-value devices are placed in more affordable tiers. This ensures fairness and flexibility, with protection scaled to the customer’s device category.
