AT&T announced the Mobile Protection Pack, a new bundled option that will combine three mobile phone services. The bundled option will cost $9.99 a month. The new service includes Mobile Insurance, Enhanced Support, and Mobile Locate. With Mobile Insurance, AT&T will replace your phone in the event of an "approved" claim that may involve loss, theft, accidental damage, liquid damage, or mechanical and electrical failure after the manufacturer?s warranty expires.
Enhanced Support will provide customers with help during device setup as well as general ?how to? help and ongoing troubleshooting assistance. Finally, the Mobile Protection Pack will also provide a new Mobile Locate app which lets users remotely locate, lock, or sound an alarm on their missing phone, provided it is powered-on and within an AT&T coverage area.
