With any Insurance2go policy your phone is covered for…
Not just a bad look, a cracked screen can make your phone unusable. Worse, a cracked screen may also mean internal damage, too. We'll repair your phone if the screen gets cracked, or replace it if we can't.
Liquids can be hazardous to the inner workings of mobile phones. If any type of fluid gets inside and damages your phone, you’re covered for repair, if it's not fixable, we'll replace it.
The randomness of life means your phone could get damaged at any time. If it does, we'll fix it or replace it. It'll need to be more than just cosmetic damage which won't be covered by your insurance.
Sometimes a phone develops a fault that stops it responding, no matter what you do. When you can’t make anything happen, it’s good to know you’re covered by people who can.
