LG HelloVision Hello Mobile on the 18th launched four "安心 insurance plans" designed to cover financial fraud, violent crime, fractures and injuries. Priced in the 10,000–30,000 won range per month, the plans include benefits from a Lotte Insurance product that pays out up to 5 million won.
The "安心 insurance plans" let subscribers enjoy both a budget mobile plan and a daily-life insurance service with a single sign-up. By combining Hello Mobile's flagship plans with popular products from Lotte Insurance, the lineup consists of four plans: a USIM plan for users of unlocked or used phones, and plans bundled with a new handset. The plans are ▲安心 insurance USIM 5GB (15,400 won per month), ▲安心 insurance USIM 7GB (17,300 won per month), ▲安心 insurance 5GB (33,800 won per month), ▲安心 insurance slim 1GB 100 minutes (26,900 won per month).
The biggest strength of these plans is that they do more than cover financial fraud, including voice phishing; they expand the coverage to violent crime, fractures and injuries, and automobile accident injuries. In the event of financial fraud, up to 1 million won is covered; for violent crime and fractures/injuries, up to 1 million won and 500,000 won, respectively; and for automobile accident injuries, up to 5 million won is paid depending on grades 1–10.
The sign-up process is simple: after subscribing through Hello Mobile's official online store or a dealership, subscribers can apply the insurance benefits via the enrollment URL sent by Lotte Insurance. The insurance period is one year, and claims can be easily filed through Lotte Insurance's daily-life insurance platform "ALICE."
Hello Mobile and Lotte Insurance plan to use this partnership to expand tangible budget mobile benefits for middle-aged and older customers. As voice phishing losses are concentrated among this demographic, the plans focus not only on financial compensation but also on strengthening the safety net in daily life.
