What became of it
Reviewed · Low confidence · Last verified 2026-10-17
As catalogued
App-based smartphone and tablet insurance with immediate cover bought in the app and monthly cancellation, offered by Deutsche Telekom's broker DeTeAssekuranz with Allianz as insurer.
2026 reality
No current Be Relaxed offer was found: be-relaxed.info was unreachable in October 2026 (connection refused or timed out). DeTeAssekuranz itself remains active as Telekom's in-house broker (e.g. the Gewerbefuchs.de commercial insurance portal with HDI), and Telekom sells other device insurance, HandyVersicherung M/L underwritten by Chubb from April 2018 and Telekom Insure MyMobile listed by comparison sites in 2026.
DeTeAssekuranz offered the Be Relaxed app by 2014 and released a revised version in October 2014 (EUR 3.95/month for devices up to EUR 400, EUR 4.95 above, optional theft cover at EUR 2.95, EUR 30-60 deductible). In April 2018 Telekom introduced HandyVersicherung M and L with Chubb as insurer; no source links these to Be Relaxed or documents Be Relaxed's discontinuation.
early example of in-app, monthly-cancellable device insurance, a format later common in embedded device protection.
Third taxonomy
REVIEW · Verified pricing and Allianz/DeTeAssekuranz roles via iphone-ticker (28 Oct 2014) and confirmed be-relaxed.info is unreachable. Corrected the launch milestone from 'early 2014' to an October 2014 relaunch; discontinuation remains inferred, so REVIEWED with low confidence.
