It’s good if you were able to insure it, but at times, we forget to activate it long after the deadline has gone. If you’re an AT&T subscriber, the good news is that there is now an open enrollment period for two months, even if you’ve gone beyond the activation period. Plus, you get to choose what kind of protection plan you need for your devices.
