Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device provides flexible account coverage to be used across 3 – 10 lines with eligible devices.

Verizon Mobile Protect protects devices used on a single enrolled line.

Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device may be a better option than enrolling in for individual lines because:

• You can file a claim for an eligible device used on any line on your account (provided that you have an open registration). You don't need to select which lines you want covered until something happens. Once you file a claim on a line, that line is registered on your account. You'll still have 2 more registrations available that you can use for any other eligible device active on another line on your account. Claims and registrations roll off after 12 months, provided that no further claims are filed within that 12-month period.
  
  If you register 3 lines for coverage and have other lines on your account that you want to cover, you can add Additional Coverage for up to 7 additional lines, for just $11.40/month per line. Each Additional Coverage gives you 1 more registration and 3 more shared claims.
• You have a pool of shared claims to use across any registered line (once enrolled in multi-device coverage). If you cover your lines individually, you get 3 claims/line in 12 months, and those claims can only be used for that covered line. With Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device, you get 9 pooled claims to use across all 3 registered lines within a 12-month period. If you want to file 9 claims on the same line within that 12-month period, you can.
• You get technical support, security and privacy, spam call filtering and public Wi-Fi security for all eligible devices used on up to 10 lines on your account. If you sign up individually, you'll have those features for only the enrolled device.

When you file a claim on an eligible device in use on one of your covered lines, you register that line for a 12-month period. You can file up to 9 claims on any registered line, or use those claims across 3 registered lines on your account over that 12-month period.

Line registrations for Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device aren't permanent. Once you file a claim on a line, that line is registered for a 12-month period. Line registrations reset after 12 months of being claim-free on that line.

Enrolling in Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device provides you flexible coverage. If you have 4 lines with eligible devices on your mobile account, you don't need to pick which of those 4 lines you want to register for coverage until an incident happens. When you file a claim, the line is registered for coverage.

You can register up to 3 lines for coverage at one time. If you'd like to register more than 3 lines, you can enroll in Additional Coverage to obtain registrations for up to 7 more lines.

Once you file a claim on a line, that line will be registered in Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device for a 12-month period. It can't be removed from Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device unless the line is removed from your mobile account.

Note: Line registrations reset after 12 months of being claim-free on that line.

If you have registered 3 lines on your account and want to cover additional lines on your account (up to 7 more lines), you can enroll in Additional Coverage in My Verizon. You must enroll within 30 days from registering the 3rd line for coverage.

Each line enrolled in Additional Coverage will give you one more registration and 3 shared claims that can be used across any registered lines on the account.

You can add Additional Coverage on up to 7 more lines on your account.

If you have more than 3 lines on your mobile account that aren't registered in Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device, removing Additional Coverage will remove the availability to register those additional lines, should you use all 3 of your registrations during a 12-month period.

If you remove Additional Coverage while you have 3 lines registered for coverage, the last registered line will be canceled from Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device, and you'll lose 3 claims from your pooled claims.

You can file up to 9 claims in a 12-month period (not including cracked screen repair claims, which are unlimited), across your 3 registered lines with a device claim maximum of $400 or $3,000 per claim, depending on device type.

If you would like to register more than 3 lines for coverage, you can enroll in Additional Coverage. For each line of Additional Coverage added, you’ll get the ability to register 1 more line and 3 more claims to share across your registered lines. Line registrations reset after 12 months of being claim-free.

With Multi-Device coverage, you can use your 9 claims on 1 registered line if you choose. However, you’ll need to wait 12 months from the last filed claim to file another claim (excluding cracked screen claims) or register another line. Enrolling in Additional Coverage after you file the 9th claim will provide you another registration to be used on a different line and give you 3 more claims to share across your registered lines.
