Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is set to launch Smart Phone Protect, its new mobile phone protection plan exclusive for prepaid and postpaid subscribers.

For an annual fee starting from PHP 125 to PHP 2,500 (fee depends on the device value), Smart Phone Protect provides basic protection coverage for devices such as screen repair, accidental damage, and liquid damage, the telco said.

For the advanced level of protection covering theft or loss from fire, Smart said it has Phone Protect+ for an annual fee ranging from PHP 180 to PHP 3,600 (fee also depends on the device value).

Device coverage for Phone Protect and Phone Protect+ ranges from PHP 5,000 to PHP 100,000 depending on the postpaid plan availed.

Smart said 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 can benefit from this service.

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 R. Manaloto, Head of Prepaid at Smart.

Subscribers may sign up for a Smart Phone Protect Plan via smrt.ph/phoneprotect.

Subscribers only need to fill in their Name, Mobile Number, Email Address, and Phone Details. Users can then choose their preferred Smart Phone Protect Plan and payment terms, and conveniently settle it via their mobile wallet, Debit, or Credit card. Once successful, users will receive their policy via email.

Smart Phone Protect is powered by Igloo, an InsureTechcompany.

For device repair coverage, subscribers may have their device repaired in as fast as 24 hours.
