In today’s fast-moving digital world, mobile devices are indispensable. According to Statista, the average American spends 4.5 hours per day on their phone on “non-voice activities” – texting, reading email, scrolling social media, playing games, etc – anything that doesn’t count as “making a phone call.”
For professional road warriors that need to always be reachable via voice, message, or email, having a fully functional mobile device is critical. 43% of emails were opened on a mobile device in 2018, a figure that has likely surpassed 50% since then, and for 58% of people with a mobile device, email is the first thing they check in the morning.
This importance of mobile devices to professional life means having a broken or malfunctioning device is a serious problem, particularly on the road where it may be hard to find a repair vendor you can trust.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Assurant® to add Device Care as a benefit to Torpago customers. With Device Care, our customers get access to a nationwide repair service network with a flat $39 cost (plus applicable local taxes) for each qualifying repair – and most repairs will be completed same-day. There is no cost to sign up for a Device Care plan, and you’ll only pay for the repairs you need.
Device Care covers repairs of four critical components for your device: front screen, battery, physical buttons, and the charging port.
Requesting a repair is easy – just submit a request through your account and you’ll receive instructions on how to schedule a repair once it’s approved. With Device Care, you won’t have to scroll through Google maps and spend hours brows reviews to find a reputable repair outlet while in an unfamiliar city. And should the service network be unable to fix your device, you’ll receive $129 for additional repairs or towards a replacement device.
There are limitations to how often you can request a repair, so do continue to take good care of your mobile device. You can only request two repairs every 12 months – and your battery health has to be below 75% to be eligible for a battery replacement. Additionally, only the device you have registered to your account is covered.
Please visit our Assurant® Device Care page to get full program details.
