Protect Your CellPhones and Vacation Plans with Asurion and $250 Cash Gift Card Giveaway

Summertime is still going strong and families are experiencing their travel plans, vacations and getaways.  Between stuffing new summer outfits in suitcases and loading up on beach and pool gear, more travelers than ever before are looking to smartphones to plan, enjoy and remember summer vacation.

TravelGoesHighTech

In a recent survey by Asurion, the recognized industry leader in technology protection, 8 out of 10 (77 percent) travelers say their phone is either very or extremely important to have while traveling.  Mobile phones can actually turn into your most important travel accessory: a digital travel bag (that means leaving behind paper boarding passes, maps, travel guides, cameras, iPod and books).

Ultimate Travel Tool

Being a digital family with a teen and young identical twins, I can attest that our mobile phones are part of our daily experience, including during the summer.  Getting directions to our destination, taking photos and videos to capture memorable moments, sharing imagery on social media, watching movies or listening to music or playing games while riding in the car or during long wait periods – our smartphones are indeed a key component to our plans.

Summertime Flashback

Given how important and valuable smartphones and cellphones are, it is important to consider investing in device protection, especially with the added amount of travel, outdoor activities and time spent around the water. Asurion sees more claims filed for lost, stolen and damaged cellphones in July and August than any other months of the year.  Since nothing ruins a vacation like a lost, stolen or damaged cellphone, consider the following protection tips:
  • Use a good screen protector and invest in a quality cover or case. This is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent scratching, cracks and other external damage.
  • Invest in mobile protection for your phone with a company such as Asurion, which provides a complete suite of technology protection products to safeguard your family from the disaster of a lost, stolen or damaged cellphone.
  • Plug the phone charger into a power surge protector.
  • Password-protect your phone. In the event it is lost or stolen, it will be your first line of defense against identity theft.
  • Install an anti-theft application on your child’s device to locate or lock it and wipe data.
  • Back up your child’s phone regularly to recover pictures, music and contacts quickly.
Protecting your phone also includes keeping it from thieves. When Asurion asked smartphone users where they experienced the theft of their device, the most frequent settings were common vacation locations, including:
  • Restaurant or bar
  • Street or sidewalk
  • Store or mall
  • Parking lot
  • Public transportation
There are several steps you can take to reduce the risk of smartphone theft, including the following:
  • Keep the phone in a pocket or purse where it will be out of site.
  • Use a Bluetooth device to be able to keep the phone safely tucked away.
  • Use headphones when listening to music.
  • Password-protect the phone.
  • Be aware of surroundings when in public. Focusing on texting, email, social media or any other mobile application puts users at risk.
  • Have an application that will remotely lock the smartphone and wipe the data if necessary.
  • Don’t set a smartphone out on a table.
If you don’t have coverage, ask your wireless carrier about adding mobile protection to your phone this summer.
Asurion wants you to keep your cellphone investment protected and help with your summer plans.  Thanks to Asurion, Mami of Multiples is hosting a $250 CASH GIFT CARD as a giveaway!
