The plan protects devices from handphones, smartphones, to phablets and tablets against accidental or liquid damage for just RM8 a month or RM88 annually; and is available exclusively to all existing and new U Mobile postpaid subscribers. At RM8, the plan remains as the most affordable device insurance and protection plan in the market.
An Innovative and Comprehensive Mobile Device Insurance and Protection Plan in Partnership with Tecprotec
“This is the first time in Malaysia a mobile operator is able to offer an affordable device insurance and protection plan open to all devices, regardless of where it was purchased. Mobile devices play an important role in everyday life but factors such as damages, be it through liquid or accidental means, are also very common and can be an expensive and inconvenient hindrance. As such, U CARE Plus 8 can give peace of mind to its customers by providing them assurance in knowing that their devices are protected”.
“We are proud to partner with Tecprotec because of their established expertise in device protection for consumers. U Mobile advocates the importance of mobile device protection and we believe that Tecprotec is most suitable to contribute towards this cause.”
– Jasmine Lee, Marketing Director of U Mobile Sdn Bhd
The U CARE Plus 8 insures any new or existing devices purchased from U Mobile or third parties that is up to ten months old and comes with maximum 60 days worldwide coverage as well as free personal accident coverage of up to RM2,000.00.
The mobile device is also insured against the cost of repair or replacement for up to RM1,000 for accidental and liquid damage.
Above all is the frills-free process of making a claim. Just call the 1-300-80-1318 toll free line, complete and submit the official claim documents, and we will then arrange a free pick-up service of the damaged device for an assessment. Once the claim is approved, simply pay the remaining excess fees. The device will then be repaired and delivered within seven working days.
Furthermore, in case the device is beyond repair, a replacement offer is also provided. This means that a U Mobile user can just walk into any U Mobile outlet, select their phone of choice, and then pay the price differential between sum insured and cost of the new device to walk home with a brand new device.
George Hashim, International Director of Business Development from Tecprotec said:
“We are proud to provide a protection plan that also caters for accidental and liquid damage, unlike our comprehensive plans that offer protection against attended theft to data back-up. Based on our own research and historical claim data, we realised that there is a high incidence of damaged mobile devices, primarily handphones and the launch of the U CARE Plus 8 plan is indeed very timely”.
“We are also very privileged to offer Malaysians this exclusive device insurance and protection plan through U Mobile for just RM8 per month” concluded Hashim.
