Bounce joins the dotmobile marketplace
Vancouver-based Bounce Insurance will be offering its phone screen protection coverage via the dotmobile marketplace. Bounce screen protection plans cover both new and used smartphones and every device in Canada is eligible for coverage, as long as the screen isn’t already broken.
“We are excited to partner with dotmobile™, a company that shares our values and is laser focused on providing Canadian wireless customers world-class solutions at a sensible price. We’ve created an insurance plan that just focuses on the main issues, screen damage. Screen break accidents are by far the biggest reasons for claims in the insurance business. Traditional insurance companies profit from complicated policies. We take the opposite approach and focus on making the claim process as easy as possible for a customer. Get your phone repaired anywhere you want. Upload your repair receipt. And we pay you back in 24-hours” – Scott Walker, Founder of Bounce.
Bounce annual plans start at the discounted price of $33 per year (less than $3/mo) for 2 screen replacements, and Bounce’s Elite Plan covers even the most expensive phones including the upcoming iPhone 12 for as little as $79 per year.
“Almost two years ago, we set out to solve problem number one with phone insurance – broken screens. Am I going to lose my phone? Probably not. Will I crack the screen? It’s just a matter of time. After talking to the big insurance companies – and getting nowhere – I was convinced we would have to build our own insurance product. Thankfully, our friends at Bounce had already created exactly the kind of protection plan we were dreaming of – optimized and relevant to what people really need.” – Alex Bauman, Founder and CXO of dotmobile.
Founded in 2018, dotmobile is a wireless service provider with “over eight thousand founding members who have signed up on their website or downloaded the app.”
“Our launch as a wireless service provider is now in the hands of the CRTC. While we wait, we are making great progress with both the build of our dotmobile app and digital provider ecosystem. We are also happy that we can provide value to our founding members, the first 10k Canadians who join our member-powered project. Everyone should read their ‘phone insurance’ terms and conditions and consider canceling it and signing up to the Bounce Screen Protection plan – you could save enough for a month of wireless service each year.” – Algis Akstinas, Founder and CEO of dotmobile™.
