by Nitesh Rathore • March 18, 2013

Nokia India and New India Assurance tied up to bring first of its kind service in India. According to this when you buy a new Nokia handset from Nokia store in selected cities( Delhi and the National Capital Region, Jaipur, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Cochin.) you get an insurance scheme with handset that allow you to safeguard your device against risks of the mobile handset loss and damage.This insurance plan was announced by Nokia India on Tuesday. This insurance plan will be active on March 14, 2013 through Nokia branded retail stores across country.

This insurance facility is unique in India. No other company like Apple, Samsung, LG, BlackBerry provides this type of service to their customers. The only thing with this service that I don’t like is that it is only available through their Branded stores. You will not able to get insurance of Nokia devices if you buy them online or from other stores.

Earlier Micromax also said that it also wants to introduce insurance plans for their handset. As company is getting more popularity by its big screen and cheap devices.And company wants to establish as a trusted brand, Micromax also said that it will also introduces expandable warranty plans for its devices. But still there is not any kind of official news from Micromax.
