AT&T to offer cracked screen repair to insured customers

AT&T has announced a new device repair service, called AT&T Device Protection. In collaboration with insurance provider Asurion, the company will offer a new cracked screen replacement for insured devices for $89.

Eligible devices are those, insured with the Mobile Insurance, Mobile Protection Pack, Mobile Protection Pack for Business and Multi-Device Protection Pack programs.

Not all phone brands will be covered by the program, though.
