"This new mobile resource further demonstrates our company's commitment to doing business in the 21st Century," said Tony DeSantis, president of 21st Century Insurance. "It also shows that it's not just about traditional telephone sales anymore. As consumers continue to use the Web and mobile technology to make their purchases, we know that the need to have advanced tools and resources to do business will continue to evolve."

21st Mobile Quote is not a downloadable app, but rather a mobile version of 21st.com. Users can visit 21st.com through the Web browser on their iPhone®, Android or Blackberry which, in turn, will automatically render the site to fit their phone's display screen.  

Once on the site, users will be able to:

• Get a quick policy quote – 21st Mobile Quote will take users through a series of quick questions to get needed information about them and their vehicles. It will provide a quick auto policy price estimate on up to two drivers and two vehicles in a household
• Review coverage summary – Once they complete the information, the user can review a summary of coverage information and the estimated price
• Connect directly with us for a full quote – Once the quote process is completed, 21st Mobile Quote can connect the user directly to the 21st Century Insurance sales team to complete the policy buying process.

The tool also offers existing 21st Century Insurance customers access to other convenient tools, such as:

• Direct access to 21st Century customer service, should they have a question about their policy
• If they own an iPhone®, they will be able to download the FREE 21st iPhone® app from the Apple App store. With the app, they can view their policy, pay their bill, check on a claim - even find the closest gas station for a quick fill-up.

"21st Mobile Quote is the result of our desire to meet consumers' needs in this fast-paced, technology driven age and enable them to get a rate quote on their mobile device and do so with a positive user experience," said Bryan MacDonald, vice president of eBusiness.
