Bouygues Telecom partners with Asurion to launch garantie échange 24, a mobile phone insurance offering unique in France

Available since September 26th 2011, garantie échange 24 protects Bouygues Telecom customers in the event of the loss, theft or break of their phone. After simply filing a claim on the Internet or by phone, customers receive on the next day a replacement phone identical to their original phone. The phone is delivered to the address of their choice, including internationally.

In order to provide customers with such a level of service, with no equivalent on the market, Bouygues Telecom relies on the know-how of Asurion, the world leader of technology products protection which counts over 100 million handset insurance customers worldwide.

“Bouygues Telecom wishes to offer its customers the highest level of assistance. In our partnership with Asurion, we are particularly happy to be the first French operator to provide our customers such a high level of guaranty and service for their phone,“ says Olivier Roussat, Bouygues Telecom’s General Manager.

“Research by Asurion shows that 20% of all phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year – which customers say is more stressful than losing their wallet or having their car breakdown. That’s why Asurion is excited to have developed this world class proposition with Bouygues Telecom. It will deliver an unrivalled and unique customer experience. For Asurion, the customer is everything – a value that is shared by Bouygues Telecom to the highest management level and which makes us natural partners. We are proud to be working with them,” said Andrew Cole, CEO Asurion Europe.
