MTV Europe, Motorola team up for mobile content
MUMBAI: This is a deal that furthers the growth of wireless content in Europe. MTV Europe and Motorola have announced that Motorola will be the exclusive provider of further MTV-created wireless content. The mobile content includes MTV Gimps — a freakish family of downloadable characters.
In addition there is MTV Midnight Mash. This is the new viral email game which is being launched in support of the current MTV Motomash events that are taking place across Europe until May 2004.
An official release informs that the deal seeks to leverage MTV’s creativity and knowledge of the ever-evolving music and lifestyle scene, and Motorola’s technology innovation and personalisation intelligence. The latest deal builds upon their three year multi-million dollar global marketing alliance signed last year for outside the US.
MTV Gimps are a family of mutant characters that can be downloaded to personalise a mobile phone. Each character is appropriately named to fit their own individual quirky personality or theme. Each theme offers different dedicated elements for each character including a gimpified ringtone (both MP3 / midi), a downloadable screensaver and downloadable wallpaper. The first Gimp characters to be made available will be Lady Love — the one and only chain smoking, love thirsty female Gimp — and Androll — the soft on the inside, hard rock enthusiast on the outside Gimp.
In addition, the MTV Gimps will also be available in the form of the wireless game Pain on the Train which will be embedded on to the some new Motorola handsets from May 2004. The objective of the game will be to negotiate one of the Gimp characters through underground train stations to Gimp land avoiding thundering trains and other dangerous obstacles along the way. The action oriented game will feature intricate cartoon graphics.
The 360-degree integration of MTV Gimps will be supported on-air across MTV Europe’s 117 million homes through blipverts. These are five second advertisements featuring the different Gimps and their character’s dedicated MP3 ringtone
MTV Intl and Motorola will also be the exclusive providers of MTV-created wireless content internationally outside the US, Canada and Japan. This will include an interactive series of games known as Plastikulture and a wireless component of the award-winning MTV Exquisite Corpse image campaign. The content will be pre-loaded on select new Motorola handsets and available for download at www.hellomoto.com outside the US in a few months time.
Buying family medical insurance online in India has become a common option for individuals who want to secure health coverage for multiple family members under a single policy. However, many buyers are unsure about the exact steps involved in selecting and purchasing the right plan online.
In this guide, you will know the step-by-step process of buying family medical insurance online in India, along with the key factors to review before purchasing a suitable policy.
Step 1: Assess Your Family’s Healthcare Needs
Before buying online health insurance, check the healthcare needs of all family members. Check age, existing illnesses, regular medicines, and the likely need for hospital care later. This helps in selecting a suitable sum insured, policy type, and level of cover. It also reduces the chance of buying a plan that appears suitable but does not meet actual medical needs.
Step 2: Visit the Insurance Company’s Official Website
After understanding the family’s needs, visit the insurer’s official website and read the plan details carefully. Use the official platform to review eligibility, policy wording, waiting periods, cover details, exclusions, and renewal terms.
This step gives a clearer understanding of how the policy works before payment is made. It also helps avoid confusion caused by incomplete summaries on other pages.
Step 3: Compare Available Family Health Insurance Plans
A family medical insurance policy should be compared on factors beyond the premium. Review the sum insured, hospital network, room rent limits, pre- and post-hospitalisation cover, daycare treatment coverage, and waiting periods. It is also important to check treatment sub-limits and specific policy conditions.
Careful comparison helps determine whether a plan provides balanced coverage and whether its terms are suitable for the healthcare needs of the entire family.
Step 4: Choose the Right Policy and Start the Online Purchase
Once the options have been compared, select the policy that best fits the family’s medical needs and budget. Before starting the application, review the covered members, policy term, benefits, and main conditions again. This is an important stage because errors here can lead to the wrong cover amount, an unsuitable variant, or missing details that create problems during policy use.
Step 5: Calculate the Premium Using an Online Calculator
Use the online premium calculator before making the final choice. Enter the correct details, including age, city, number of insured members, and selected cover amount. The result helps in understanding the expected premium and whether the policy fits the annual budget. This step is useful because it allows cost and coverage to be reviewed together, instead of choosing a plan only because the premium looks lower.
Step 6: Fill in Personal and Medical Details
When filling in the proposal form, provide accurate details for each insured member. This includes name, date of birth, contact details, medical history, ongoing treatment, and previous insurance information if required.
Every answer should be complete and truthful. Incorrect or missing details can create difficulty later. Before you submit the form, read every section again and correct any mistakes.
Step 7: Make Payment Through the Secure Payment Gateway
After checking the form, go to the payment page and complete the transaction through the secure payment gateway. Review the premium, policy term, and entered details once more before confirming payment.
After the transaction is completed, save the receipt, reference number, or confirmation message carefully. Keeping this record is useful if you need to track the purchase or follow up on policy issuance later.
Step 8: Download and Keep Your Policy Document Safely
Once the policy is issued, download the policy document, schedule, and any related papers without delay. Read them carefully to confirm member names, policy period, sum insured, and major terms. Save a digital copy in a secure folder and keep a printed copy if needed. Proper record keeping makes future renewals, document checks, and policy servicing easier and more organised when information is required quickly.
Conclusion
Buying health cover online becomes easier when you handle each step with attention. From checking your family’s needs to reading the final document, every stage helps you make an informed choice. A careful approach can reduce mistakes, improve your understanding of policy terms, and help you choose coverage that matches your household’s medical needs, financial capacity, and long-term healthcare planning in a reliable way for your family over the long term.
