A claims representative will work with you to process your claim and replace your equipment as quickly as possible. Here's how the process works:

  1. The account holder should call to file a claim
  2. Provide the mobile number for the phone in question
  3. Provide the manufacturer and model of the phone
  4. Provide a description of the incident, including:

    Where: Location or address of where loss or damage took place
    What: Description of the incident that caused the loss or damage
    When: Time & date (must be reported within 90 days of incident - one year for Wisconsin residents)
    What: Cause of the damage
  5. If stolen:
    • You must have a police report number from the jurisdiction in the city where the crime occurred
    • Police report should be filed with the authorities

In certain events, additional documentation may be required, such as a copy of the police report or a sworn statement of incident, to process your claim. Also, the Administrator may request to speak with the user of the phone in order to get additional details concerning the claim.
