Its attractive service offering, along with strong relationships with leading mobile operators globally, has helped establish Asurion as a global leader in mobile support and protection."
Frost & Sullivan's research indicates that global smartphone penetration among mobile phone users will exceed 80 percent by 2020. Consequently, the dramatic pace of advancement in smartphone hardware and software technologies has also made them more complicated to use, creating the need for more in-depth support to manage the device and its connections. Asurion's support and protection services allow customers to protect, support, manage, and optimize their mobile devices, while delivering a best-in-class service experience.
"Quite often, smartphone users know what their device can do, but struggle to actually use all of the device's features and functionality," said John Leonard, senior vice president of global products at Asurion. "By minimizing the impact of smartphone incidents, deterring loss of data, securing the mobile experience, and helping to manage device complexity across any platform or provider, Asurion's mobile support and protection services help consumers get the most out of their connected life.
