Premium Device Protection and AppleCare+ FAQs

Premium Device Protection is a value-added program that protects your device from loss, theft, and accident damage and out-of-warranty malfunction with device replacement and repair options.

Lost/stolen coverage not included in Quebec.

You can add Premium Device Protection to your account within 45 days of activating a new line or upgrading to a new Rogers device.

Yes, repair and processing fees will apply on the following services once your request is approved:

  • Phone repairs up to $100.00, depending on the device*
  • Phone replacements up to 200.00, depending on the device

For more details on processing fees please visit rogers.com/servicerequest

*Processing fee is $0 on your first screen break repair as long as there is no other damage to your phone.

Not at all. Premium Device Protection is offered on a month-to-month basis, and can be removed at any time without cancellation fees. However, because the combination of the low monthly Device Protection Fee and the one-time Service Processing Fee is typically much lower than the full market cost of repairing or replacing your device, we recommend that you keep the plan for the duration of your wireless contract.

You can start a device replacement service request by visiting rogers.com/servicerequest or calling 1 855 877-3887. It usually takes a few minutes to issue your request, and your available repair and replacement options will be presented to you at this time.

For service requests completed by 7 pm EST Monday-Friday, next business day delivery is available.

You may also have the option to receive a replacement device the same day your service request is completed for an additional fee, where and when available.

Your device will be replaced with a wireless device of like kind and quality with comparable features and functionality to the protected device, and it may be new or reconditioned.

Replacement devices are new or refurbished at the program’s discretion and subject to availability. All replacements come with a 1-year warranty.

If your device malfunctions within a year of purchase, please follow the Rogers in-warranty repair/replacement process to have your device repaired or replaced. However, if your device was lost, stolen or damaged and you are enrolled in  Premium Device Protection, you should file a service request for your device at rogers.com/servicerequest
