Smartphone Insurance?

[PrimaryTech]

Hi all,

A personal one here, I've recently had the displeasure of dropping my HTC Desire Z and having the screen replaced (Home insurance was £250 excess, Carphone Warehouse wanted £170, went direct to HTC and they did it for £90, plus I keep my warranty)

 

Can anyone recommend a company for smartphone insurance, as I'd rather pay a small monthly premium than incur massive costs and the lost of my phone for 2 weeks again I've looked at protectmybubble but wondered if anybody had other companies they use?

 

I'm looking for comprehensive cover over cost pm

Protect your bubble gets my vote

 

Gadget Insurance | Cheap Gadget Insurance From Just £1.49 per month I have the same cover on my phone. Excess is is £50, and cost is £2.49 a month (That is theft, damage, loss etc). Claimed once, took 3 days to get a replacement.

Looking at that site, insuring the iPhone costs £5.99 a month plus an extra quid if you want loss cover. I've seen worse I suppose, insurance cover from the phone operators was a lot more.

Mine is covered free with my LloydsTSB account

So is mine, although when I sent off my SE C905 to be repaired it came back locked to Orange and I had to pay again to get it unlocked which was a pain.

I had the opposite, when my O2-locked Dell Streak was replaced I got an unlocked one in return Insured through my joint Barclays account with Mrs AT - it turns out that if you get the insurance on a joint account you can insure both of your phones for no extra cost!

I am just in the process of claiming for my Desire. I had used it to get to a school using Navigation, in the process of putting it back in it's case I dropped it. The screen is smashed and has small dents in the case. I have to pay £30 excess, Not bad for a 'free' insurance through the bank. The screen is over £100 before fitting.
