Maybe you have been traveling away from home in your car and all of a sudden realised you’ve left your mobile someplace, perhaps miles and miles away? You thought it was in your pocket, in fact it is actually a long way away where you left it on a restaurant table.
There is not a whole lot that can be done in these situations apart from hope that the person who locates it is going to do the right thing. If they don’t, it will be up to your mobile phone insurance carrier to assist you out of this unfortunate predicament, should you have insurance in place in the beginning that is.
There’s a new answer to this scenario though, it comes in the form of a clever little product referred to as Bringrr. This is a clever small Bluetooth device which fits to your car cigar lighter. You just leave it there continuously, then when you turn the key to start your motor the bringrr performs a simple check to see if you have your phone with you.
Essentially it is paired with your mobile phone, so the bringrr can identify if your mobile is linked to it, if it is you will get a happy audio noise, if it’s not attached you will get a more aggressive audio warning, that implies maybe you have left your mobile behind. This could be a product which may appeal to insurance companies to supply to their clients who own higher end handsets, like the Apple iphone, as it could reduce the level of claims for loss and theft, saving a large amount of capital every year.
You may question why I included savings from loss and theft, rather than just loss. Well this is rather simple, many insurance agencies do not cover loss in their policies, so customers claim their gadgets have been stolen when in fact they were really lost, they do this to try to insure that the insurance broker pays the bill rather than themselves.
Quite a few tend not to appreciate that this is in fact insurance fraudulence and could land them with a criminal history. To learn more about the Bringrr Wireless bluetooth device, search youtube for Bringrr and watch the videos which demonstrate precisely how this product functions.
