Americans click, tap and swipe their phones 2,600 times a day …and drop them once a week because “life happens.” 30% of U.S. smartphone owners are currently using a cracked or spider-webbed screen. Imagine the sliver cuts!

Fewer than 40 percent of U.S. smartphone and tablet owners have a protection plan. Without insurance, replacing a lost, stolen or damaged phone (or tablet) can cost $700 or more, making Verizon’s open enrollment period (February 9 – April 9) an ideal time to explore valuable improvements to Equipment Protection plans.

At a growing list of locations in 34 states and D.C., more than 60% of Verizon customers are eligible for easy, same-day repairs (more locations coming soon) on many popular smartphones with the option of a technician coming to your home or work. Also, customers seeking a replacement phone or tablet can receive that device as soon as the next day.
