• T-Mobile will soon offer insurance to all your Wi-Fi-connected devices, even those not bought from T-Mobile or even connected to its network.
• The program will cost $25 a month and you’ll be able to claim up to a total of $5000 in damages a year. This one fee includes unlimited devices, excluding phones.
• An additional service fee will apply for each claim, with fees ranging from zero to $89.

T-Mobile has offered device insurance for as long as I can remember, but it’s been the only one of the big three carriers that doesn’t extend its program to more than just phones. According to Tmo Report, that’s about to change. A leaked document reveals that T-Mobile Protection 360 HomeTech will arrive on November 19.

T-Mobile uses Assurant for its current in-house insurance program, and the report suggests that won’t change. The new plan will cost $25 per month (plus tax) and protect you from accidental damage, out-of-warranty electrical or mechanical issues, and power surges. Need help troubleshooting your connected devices? The plan also includes 24/7 live tech support.
