What does Asurion cover?
Asurion offers three protection plans, including phone protection, Asurion Home+ and Asurion Appliance+.
| Plan | Coverage | Max payout | Enrollment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone | Lost, stolen, broken phones | Varies by carrier | Within 30 days of activation |
| Home+ | TVs, laptops, wearables, etc. | $5,000/year | Any time |

Asurion phone insurance covers some of the most common issues, including cracked screens, physical damage, mechanical failure, loss and theft.
To enroll in an Asurion phone plan, contact your wireless provider to see if your phone is eligible. You're typically only eligible within the first 30 days of activating or upgrading your phone, and the type of devices that are covered depends on the wireless provider.
Asurion’s Home+ protection plan provides coverage for home’s major electronic devices, including TVs, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles and much more.
This plan covers repairs and replacements for device breakdowns due to normal wear and tear or defective materials, as well as some repairs resulting from accidental damage from handling (ADH). Asurion Home+ Entertainment covers fewer electronics at a lower cost.
Asurion’s Appliance+ plan covers most major appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, built-in microwaves, washing machines, dryers and ranges, but does not cover HVAC systems.

How to file a claim with Asurion
Filing a claim with Asurion depends on which of the three plans you have.
Asurion phone insurance claims
To file a claim with Asurion for an issue with your phone, go to the Asurion website and select your wireless carrier and device make/model. Provide a description of what happened, your billing and shipping address, your phone number and a method of payment for the deductible.
After submitting the device claim, you should receive an email with shipping and tracking information for your replacement. You will be notified of the status of your claim and can track the claim online.
Asurion sends out 96% of replacement devices the day after a claim is filed. Asurion usually sends a replacement device with the same make and model, but availability may vary. The company’s representatives may choose an alternative that matches the form and functionality of the lost or damaged device. Your replacement device may be new or refurbished and the color, brand, model and features may differ from your original device.
If you need to cancel a claim, contact Asurion with your claim ID or phone number associated with the device. Most policies allow for a claim to be canceled within a few days.
Note that most carriers limit you to three claims in a 12-month period.
Asurion Home+ claims
You can file a claim with a Home+ plan online. After providing details about the product, the issue and your account information, you’ll receive email updates as the claim is processed.
Asurion Appliance+ claims
To file a claim with an Appliance+ plan, call 855-328-2847. You’ll need to provide your appliance’s serial number. Once your claim is approved, Asurion will schedule an appointment with a local repair technician.
Asurion prices
The Asurion wireless phone protection plan cost starts at $14 per phone per month. The plan cost varies based on the type of device you have and the tier you choose. Asurion offers other services at different price points, including cracked screen repair.

Still have questions?
Is Asurion Protection worth it?
Asurion is worth considering if you frequently lose, damage or break your devices. Phone coverage starts at $14 per month, so even if you only file a claim every few years, you may save money compared to paying out of pocket for a new or refurbished phone.
The same logic applies to Asurion’s Home+ and Appliance+ plans. These offer protection for a wide range of devices and appliances, and filing a claim typically requires only a small deductible or service fee. For many, this tradeoff offers peace of mind against unexpected repair or replacement costs.
Reviews of Asurion are generally positive, especially regarding fast claim approvals and next-day device replacements. However, some customers are disappointed when replacement devices differ in brand, color or condition. If receiving an identical device matters to you, self-insuring with a savings fund may be a better option.
