Consumer Cellular, the top-rated wireless provider offering cellphones and no-contract service plans to those 50+, has selected global tech care leader Asurion to provide device protection and trade-in services for its wireless customers.
Consumer Cellular customers who enroll in Asurion® Protection can have peace of mind knowing their devices are protected should they accidentally drop, spill on or crack the device screen. Plus, it covers device malfunctions after the warranty has expired. Asurion Protection customers can receive a replacement device on their doorstep as soon as the next day for claims filed by 11 p.m. Many devices can also be fixed at one of the 750+ uBreakiFix® by Asurion stores nationwide as soon as the same day, and some models can even be repaired on site at the customer’s home or office as part of Asurion’s “We Come to You” screen repair service.
“We are well aware of the financial investment our customers make in their cellular devices,” said CEO Ed Evans. “We also know that accidents happen and worked to bring in a partner who could help our customers get their devices up and running as quickly as possible. We found that partner in Asurion. Their fast turnaround times, a convenient nationwide store network and an exceptional focus on customer care make them the perfect partner for Consumer Cellular.”
In addition to device protection, Asurion has been selected to launch Consumer Cellular’s trade-in program, allowing customers to save on a new device when they trade in their old one. With more than 20 years of supply chain expertise, Asurion’s systems allow for a simple trade-in experience that delivers maximum value to customers, with some devices fetching up to $700+ in credit toward a new phone. Beyond cost savings, customers can rest easy knowing trade-in supports a sustainable supply chain and helps keep devices out of landfills. All trade-in devices are sent to Asurion’s global logistics center, which processes millions of devices each year, finding a next best use for 99% of devices and responsibly recycling the remainder. Customer data is securely wiped from trade-in devices upon receipt.
“When your device breaks, it’s frustrating. Getting it fixed or replaced shouldn’t be."
