Verizon to Charge More for Insurance, But Drop Screen Repair Cost

Jan 8, 2018, 1:44 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Verizon Wireless plans to adjust the cost structure of its Total Mobile Protection device insurance program. Subscribers will see their monthly costs go up, but will see savings on select repairs. Beginning January 25, new customers will be charged $13 per month for Total Mobile Protection, which includes Tech Coach. Existing customers won't see the price increase until March 6, when it jumps from $11 to $13. Some of the benefits include access to in-home repairs and more than 300 authorized repair centers around the country. Customers can also ship their phone to Verizon for repair if needed. Once the new monthly pricing goes into effect, the cost to replace a cracked screen will drop to $29.

Total Mobile Protection is the reason I went with Verizon.

I drink.. a lot.. so I am hard on my phones. That does not stop me from buying top of the line (ie. over 900 dollar) phones.
13 dollars a month is absolutely worth it to me. Especially when it will cost me 29 bucks instead of 200+ bucks to repair when I invariably break my screen.
