Careful phone renters are rewarded by Fairphone with cheaper rates.
The ethical phone brand Fairphone expanded its product options to include a rental service. The cheapest rental duration for a Fairphone Easy is three months at EUR 34 per month, and the longest rental period for a Fairphone 4 is 60 months at EUR 21 per month. That's only for the hardware; in order to use the phone, consumers will need to arrange their own phone plans with a network operator. In the event that a user breaks their phone or it ceases to function for any other reason, Fairphone will repair it at no cost and provide a replacement within forty-eight hours of receiving the broken phone. Every Fairphone Easy subscription comes with a protective case and a screen protector, and just as some insurance companies provide good driver discounts or a no-claims bonus, Fairphone rewards consumers for taking good care of their phones by including these accessories in their subscriptions at no additional cost. Their annual membership cost is discounted by one euro each year without any damage, with savings reaching up to eight euros off each month for three years running without any problems. The Netherlands is the only country where you can now purchase a Fairphone Easy.
