AT&T will soon offer iPhone owners a new insurance policy to protect their mobile devices.
Due to start covering the iPhone on July 17, the company's existing mobile insurance policy will offer coverage against loss, theft, accidental physical or liquid damage, and mechanical and/or electrical failure after Apple's warranty period expires, according to AT&T. Managed by Asurion, the plan already covers other phones and mobile devices (PDF).
Insuring an iPhone will cost $4.99 a month for each mobile number, while a $50 or $125 deductible will be applied for each claim, depending on the model. AT&T is promising to replace the phone within the next business day in most cases with either a new or remanufactured device but is limiting the number of claims to two within 12 months. Customers can cancel their policy at any time.
AT&T currently offers similar iPhone insurance through Asurion but at a cost of $11.99 per month and a deductible as high as $199, depending on the model. Verizon Wireless also offers insurance on its lineup of phones, including the iPhone, through Asurion at a cost of $6.99 per month and a deductible that can go as high as $199 based on the phone.
