Mobile phone theft is a BIG issue.

According to Continental Research over 1.3 MILLION phones are stolen every year.  According to Halifax Insurance that figure is over 2 MILLION.

Either way - that is a LOT of phones being stolen.  Who's to say it won't be your phone next?

The unfortunate reality is that your phone - and most people's phones - have a resale value to theives.  This is despite all the government and phone industry initiatives like the blocking of phone stolen phone IMEI in a group database, because that only works in this country.  The stolen phone can still be shipped out - often to Africa - and used there.

So if you phone is going to be stolen - and we are talking if - then it is very unlikely that you are going to get that same phone handset iteself back again (it can happen but very rarely) - then why not make sure you are insured for such theft and make sure you get a replacement phone back with you quickly and at far less expense than having to buy yourself a whole new phone (which would cost you in the hundreds of pounds) ?

This is why you need mobile phone insurance
