Glo offers protection plan for phone screen, water damage

Globacom, a leading digital solutions provider, has teamed up with Cubecover to launch a telecom industry-first Device Protection service in Nigeria, offering an accessible solution for its customers to safeguard their mobile phones.

This new service protects both new and existing Glo subscribers from costly screen and water damage with a small premium, providing up to ₦50,000 for repairs or replacement.

“With Glo Device Protection, you can cover your phone for as little as ₦50 per day. Weekly subscriptions are available for ₦300, and monthly plans for ₦600,” said Mojeed Aluko, Globacom’s Head of Value Added Service (VAS). New customers without Glo SIMs can walk into any Gloworld shop across the country, purchase a SIM and any phone device of their choice and subscribe to the device protection instantly.

“As a responsive and innovative network, we are leveraging this opportunity to provide meaningful protection to our customers, helping them stay connected even in the event of accidental damage”, said Aluko, highlighting Glo’s commitment to innovation and customer support.

Interested Customers are expected to dial *7013*1# to select either daily, weekly, or monthly plan. The subscription will be conveniently deducted from customer’s Glo airtime. After a successful payment, Customer ‘will receive a link to perform a quick screen diagnostic check, and once the device passes, its IMEI will be registered with Cubecover. The benefits kick off after just one month of active subscription.

Managing Director of Cubecover, Deji Macaulay stated that this partnership with Globacom aims to ease the stress of phone ownership by eliminating the common anxieties associated with phone usage, accidental damage and repairs, while Glo further noted that the service stands out for its straightforward mobile enrolment, low cost, and fast, paperless verification process, bringing peace of mind to smartphone users across Nigeria.
