Total Equipment Coverage consists of Wireless Phone Protection and Verizon Extended Warranty* (each available separately).

For detailed information on device protection options, please view our brochures.

*Verizon Extended Warranty is a service contract, separate and distinct from any product/service warranty which may be provided by the device manufacturer, and does not extend the term of any such product/service warranty.  

To be eligible for Total Equipment Coverage, you must enroll within 30 days of one of the following:

• Purchase or upgrade to a new device and activate it on a new or existing line
• Bring your own eligible device* that meets the following criteria:
  • Is fully functioning, without damage (including cracked screens) and free of defects
  • Isn't lost or stolen
  • Is activated on a new line (not an existing line)

You can check your eligibility in My Verizon. If Device Protection is listed under the Get Products tab, you're eligible to enroll.

If you're bringing your own device, you can check device compatibility before signing up for a new line of service.
