EE Launches Multi-Tech cover: A Single Plan for All Your Gadgets
Table of Contents
A new, flexible insurance policy from EE aims to simplify gadget protection, allowing customers to cover multiple devices under one monthly plan. The launch comes as research indicates a strong consumer preference for consolidated tech insurance solutions.
Nearly two-thirds of British consumers – 64% – would prefer a single, affordable policy to cover most of their devices, rather than managing multiple plans, according to recent findings.
The need for robust gadget insurance is becoming increasingly apparent. The research also revealed that almost one in four people in the UK have had to replace a device in the past year due to damage, loss, or theft, highlighting the financial burden of maintaining a connected lifestyle. As households accumulate more high-value technology – from tablets and smartwatches to gaming consoles – the complexity of insuring these items has also increased.
EE’s new policy directly addresses this complexity, offering a streamlined approach to tech protection.
