The functions of mobile insurance
Mobile insurance is a solution that can reduce cell phone theft, reimburse repair costs or replace them. Thus, it is aimed at users who need to regularly handle a smartphone or any other device of the same type. It is especially suitable for people who prefer to rent mobile phones. Not being the owners, they must take care of it. In general, rental companies require that their products be returned to them in good condition. Where appropriate, sanctions are foreseen.
Aware of the concerns generated by incidents to which phones are exposed, insurers offer various coverage options to their users. These allow you to pay for repairs or replace the device. Among them is theft insurance. According to statistics, 175,000 people lose their phone every year, due to theft or lack of attention.
Generator failure insurance is another type of coverage offered by insurers. Frequent use and recharging eventually depletes the battery. The screen, the keys, as well as the sockets can deteriorate over time hence the existence of a related cover on the market.

Mobile providers offer various offers to phone users.
