Uh Oh otection includes one free replacement of a One M9 should you crack the screen, drop it in the toilet, or switch carriers—that’s right, even if you decide to jump from Verizon to T-Mobile, HTC will send you a phone that works with your new carrier so that you don’t have to worry about buying the phone all over again.
The protection plan can be used within 12 months of purchase all you have to do to take advantage of it is call HTC Care. Afterwards, a new phone will be overnighted to you. If you go all 12 months without using the protection plan, you’ll get $100 towards the purchase of a future HTC One. So, take good care of your M9 the M10 might be a cheaper upgrade.
