Set to launch on July 1st, T-Mobile will introduce Monthly4G Handset Protection plans through Assurant solutions available to customers within 14 days of activation on any T-Mobile branded device. T-Mobile’s Monthly Handset Protection plan is available for $7.00 a month and provides coverage for “equipment loss, theft, accidental damage and device malfunctions (out of warranty only).” Extended warranty coverage begins immediately following the one-year manufacturers warranty period and customers can switch eligible phones at any time. Monthly Handset Protection follows your phone number and not the device itself, so the purchase of a new device from T-Mobile automatically allows for the transfer of coverage.

Along with the device, Monthly Handset Protection covers the SIM card, battery and Wall Charger along with a memory card if required.

For the most part, Handset Protection is a pretty decent opportunity to protect against having to buy a whole new device if yours is lost or stolen.
