policy. Extended warranty services within Asia-Pacific
partners will be available soon.

“We decided to launch it first in the Philippines
because we can see that in the last two years, there’s
has been an increase in spending power due to
economic growth, which fueled a greater demand for
high-end smartphones. But a big trade-off with the
high-end phones right now, despite the technological
advancements, is that they are still breakable. You
drop it on the floor, the screen could get broken; and
while these devices are water-resistant, liquid damage
is still not covered by the manufacturer warranty.

That is why we are now providing this product,” said
Stephen Khaw, chair, Esquire Tech.

Another revolutionary product is the AIRSIM, a
travel data roaming sim that works in over 100
countries. Saving subscribers expensive roaming
charges, it can transform into a local SIM of a
specific destination. It is suitable for frequent
travelers who don’t want to break the bank in
purchasing overseas SIM cards. Mobile data
packages are offered through its dedicated app,
it requiring top-up payment through credit or
debit card.
