NEXTEL INSURANCE 

 Why Buy Special Insurance for your Nextel Phone?
The Signal® estimates that more than 3.5 million wireless phones will be reported stolen this year!  And many more will be lost or damaged.   Without the proper coverage, you could pay more than your original investment for the repair or replacement of your Nextel phone and accessories.  Most traditional insurance policies don't cover wireless equipment.  If they do, they are usually very expensive with a deductible that can be much more than the cost to replace or repair your phone.  That's why so many wireless customers are taking advantage of Direct Protect, insurance protection for your Nextel phone.  Direct Protect gives you the comprehensive coverage you need for only pennies a day. This unique insurance is available by special arrangement to Nextel customers through The Signal.
Theft, Loss or Damage -- You're Covered!
Direct Protect is specifically designed to protect your Nextel phone. This comprehensive protection will cover your equipment from any physical damage or loss due to theft, vandalism, fire, lightning, water and almost anything else that could happen.

If your equipment is lost or stolen, it will be replaced.
If it is damaged, the repair costs are covered.

What's Covered?

Mobile phones, portable phones and accessories, Direct Protect will protect them! The insurance coverage for mobile and portable phones will protect the original Nextel equipment package purchased. The accessory coverage will protect any additional accessories purchased to go with your Nextel equipment up to $1,000 in value.
