Ingram, a technology product distributor, has announced an insurance plan for smartphones called Cover Plus. The insurance package is backed by The Oriental Insurance and covers contingencies caused by accident, liquid, theft, burglary, fire and tempest.
There are two categories of Cover Plus, Gold and Platinum, with prices starting from Rs 499 and goes up to Rs 3,999 (see picture), depending under the official retail price of the device.
