GEICO Releases Windows Phone 7 App

Chevy Chase, Md.-based P&C carrier GEICO has released a version of its GloveBox mobile application for Microsoft's recently released Windows Phone 7 mobile OS.

“The application for the Windows Phone 7 was created to provide a great customer service experience as well as ease of use for our policyholders," Dave Weaver, manager of mobile applications for GEICO, says in a statement.

GloveBox allows GEICO policyholders to bills, access ID cards, record accident information, reach the carrier by phone, view videos and TV commercials and access the company's social media pages. It is also available for Apple's iOS, which powers the iPhone and iPad; as well as Google's Android mobile OS.

Esurance launched a Windows Phone 7 app earlier this year.
