Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • CellPay launched AKKO in 20,000+ prepaid retail locations on August 18, 2026.
  • AKKO's website says coverage is live across all 50 states and Canada.
  • Trustpilot showed 174 reviews on May 22, 2026, supporting consumer trust.

What critics are saying

  • BBB listed 72 complaints in three years, signaling persistent claims-service friction.
  • Loss claims require location tracking, police reports, and verification, delaying payouts.
  • CellPay distribution can churn quickly; one partner change can shrink prepaid-channel growth.

What makes AKKO unique

  • AKKO offers one configurable platform across consumer, education, and business devices.
  • The 2024 Upsie acquisition expanded AKKO's independent and authorized repair network.
  • AKKO covers phones, laptops, tablets, household items, and used devices.

CellPay and AKKO launch one-tap device protection across 20,000+ US prepaid retail locations

CellPay and AKKO have launched device protection across 20,000 prepaid retail locations nationwide. The integration enables prepaid and cash-preferred customers to purchase device coverage during top-up transactions, with no separate enrollment or credit check required. The partnership addresses a gap in affordable device protection for millions of prepaid consumers who cannot easily absorb sudden repair bills. AKKO's plans cover accidental damage, theft, and breakdown, backed by US support and a nationwide repair network. For dealers and master agents in CellPay's network, the offering creates a new revenue stream without additional infrastructure. Coverage can be added during activation or top-up transactions through the existing CellPay portal. The capability is live now. Both companies are demonstrating the integration at the All Wireless & Prepaid Expo in Las Vegas on 18-19 August 2026.
