dear all, googling to see if i can get insurance-cover on my laptop beyond its warranty period. discovered the four major indian insurance companies supposedly offer some fig-leaf of a cover.
oriental insurance, new india assurance, national insurance, united india insurance: http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100102230025AA9G16e their individual websites are sketchy on details and costs. what are your experiences: 1) how much does it cost? 2) what kind of tenures, benefits, bonuses, do you get? 3) what gets covered? 4) what is excepted? 5) does a policy cover national, international roaming? 6) do they offer cashless transactions/ or pay-now-reimburse-later? 7) how quick/difficult is a re-imbursement? 8) most important: do they have a problem or do they prefer laptops with linux? do they charge a premium, or do they do the sensible thing and offer a discount and bonuses for potentially less downtime and data-hassles? or, do they not care at all? on another note, a friend tells me insurance companies do offer insurance-policies for mobiles as well, but policy-holders seldom get any value as the exceptions-list hardly leaves any scope for a re-imbursement. thanks for your answers in advance, and hope linux-users and activists may soon lobby insurance companies to offer discounts and bonuses for foss-adoption. regards niyam -- niyam bhushan _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
