Cell phone protection to keep your device safe

Get a budget-friendly plan through the USAA Insurance Agency.

What's a cell phone protection plan?

A cell phone protection plan can help repair or replace your phone after loss, theft, accidental damage or mechanical failure.

We work with ProtectCELL and bolt Protect to offer plans that could save you hundreds of dollars if something happens to your phone.

Is cell phone protection worth it?

Imagine something happens to your brand-new iPhone. Without a protection plan, you might have to pay $1,000 to repair or replace it.

 

But with a plan, you’d just pay a deductible on top of your plan’s fee. This could save you hundreds of dollars.

Why should I get a plan through the USAA Insurance Agency?

We have longstanding alliances with other plan providers, and we monitor these relationships to make sure they meet our standards.

 

You can get help from specially trained representatives who’ll serve you at the level you’d expect.
