Bolttech is our device
protection program partner for
Gadget Xchange.
Only one device is covered under Gadget Xchange per Globe Postpaid account.
Lastly, Gadget Xchange is
not considered insurance,
therefore, standard insurance
policies do not apply. This allows
us to provide device switch and
replacement without the need for
any documentation.
