Start a Preferred Care claim for your device

Important: Before you file a claim for a device that doesn't work, turn it off and then on again.

File a claim

Before you file a claim, check if your device is still under warranty. This can save time and effort.

To check your warranty status:

  1. Go to the Self-service repair portal.
  2. Enter your device's IMEI number.

If your device is still covered, you may be eligible for a repair at no charge.

What to know about filing a claim

  • Start your claim ASAP. Your claim must be reported within 90 days of the incident.
  • Walk-in repairs require an IMEI and are available at participating walk-in repair centres. Walk-ins are available for Pixel screen repairs only.
  • If your device malfunctions, call Assurant at 877-406-4372 or visit mydeviceprotect.com.
  • If you don't know how long it's been since you bought your device, check your order history on the Google Store.
  • If your claim is authorised for a replacement, your replacement can only be dispatched to the same country where you bought coverage. Your replacement may be a new, refurbished or recertified device of similar make and quality. For complete details, read the Preferred Care Sample Terms and Conditions.
