Mobitel and Janashakthi partner in insurance

Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel strategically partnered with Janashakthi Insurance PLC recently to provide an SMS-based Insurance cover to Mobitel Pre-paid and Post-paid customers.

To register for the service, customers have to simply type 'REG' and send to 220. This enables them to subscribe to an insurance policy on a Rs.50[inclusive of all taxes] per month instalment scheme. Instalments need to be paid on a regular basis for the full insurance coverage to be applicable. mInsurance offers Mobitel customers a coverage of Rs.100,000 in cases of natural death, and a Rs.500,000 coverage in cases of accidental death and/or permanent disability.
