By now the mobile phone is inevitable, and due to the ever increasing appetite for smartphones more and more people choose expensive terminals. As the mobile phone is always with us, it is exposed to different types of threat. In case of loosing or seriously damaging our recently bought telephone, one needs to replace the phone, incurring an unexpected cost. The joint handset insurance service of T-Mobile and the ACE European Group – available to T-Mobile subscribers when purchasing a new telephone – may be of great help.
