As you search for an alternative to Squaretrade phone insurance, the multitude of options available may leave you feeling overwhelmed. Most cell phone carriers offer their own device protection plans, often bundled with their services.
However, these carrier-provided plans may not always be the optimal choice. You might wonder, "Shouldn't the plan from my carrier be the best, considering it consolidates all my device expenses?" The truth is, carriers frequently exploit this convenience, charging exorbitant rates for phone insurance while offering limited claim options.
With AKKO, you'll have more freedom in your device insurance than with carrier or third-party plans.
Quick links
If you're dissatisfied or frustrated with your Squaretrade phone insurance, you're not alone. While Squaretrade does cover phone loss due to theft, accidental damages, and mechanical breakdowns, their protection plans exclude used or refurbished phones.
Moreover, Squaretrade often imposes high deductibles after phone replacement and limits the number of claims you can make in a year to about 3.
Seeking an alternative? We understand! At AKKO, we're not here to push new devices or hit you with hidden fees. Our sole aim is to offer top-notch cell phone protection at an affordable monthly rate, along with unique benefits you won't find elsewhere.
