Have you ever had a “Mobile mishap”? Maybe your phone has gotten lost, dropped, or broken? If so, Asurion would like to help with their protection packages. And to cheer you up after a phone catastrophe, they would also like to offer one lucky Contest Corner reader their choice of either a $40 Amazon or iTunes gift code, so read on!
Amazingly enough, I can’t think of any mobile mishaps that I personally have had. Jai was just commenting that my first-generation iPhone is in pristine condition – I try really hard to be careful with it, and I’ve had the good luck of not dropping it or being victimized by theft. And my pay-as-you go cell phone is seven years old. In cell phone years, that’s like an eternity or something. 😉 I’ve been lucky, but I’m the exception to the rule. It seems like everyone I know has a horror story about a phone getting its screen cracked, misplaced, or lost forever. Asurion offers protection packages through most wireless companies that can assist you with securing your data, getting tech support, or replacing an MIA phone as quickly as possible.
