Network Providers Insurance
Is phone insurance from a Network provider worth having?
Network providers offer phone insurance as an add-on with their phone contracts, and they can usually be bought at the same time as the phone.
Buying a new phone and insurance cover from the network provider sounds a pretty simple solution. However, it would be worth comparing with other insurers in order to see whether the protection offered meets your needs and expectations.
What should I consider when purchasing a phone insurance policy?
Do you need mobile phone insurance?
Mobile Phone Insurance is not just for the clumsy and accident-prone, all of us can relate to that feeling of dread when you drop your mobile phone and hope there is no damage.
1000’s of people benefit from having mobile phone insurance. It is a really easy way of protecting you from the costs of repair or even worse, replacing a mobile phone and any accessories lost or damaged at the same time.
How much does phone insurance cost?
The cost of mobile phone insurance varies and is based on the overall cost of your phone. Generally, newer mobile phones cost more than an older phone and this is reflected in the cost of the insurance.
You will normally have the option to pay for your insurance through a monthly rolling subscription, or an upfront annual payment. Annual payments can sometimes prove to provide better value over the course of a full year, so make sure to check.
It's important when comparing insurance quotes to consider the level of cover you are looking for, and then any excess fee you will need to pay when making a claim. Be aware that some companies will also charge a supplementary excess if you claim within a few months of taking out your insurance policy.
What can affect the cost of mobile phone insurance?
Policy excess, the model of phone, any cost for repairs and replacements, and your premium amount will vary dependent on the level of cover you chose.
When you are making a comparison between a network and a specialist insurer, the answers to these questions can be markedly different:
How old can the phone be in order to be eligible for cover?
How many times can I claim on my insurance?
When can I cancel the policy?
Are there any cancellation fees?
How much are the phone insurance premiums?
