Using Your Mobile Phone for Work
Certain employment positions require the continual use of a mobile phone device. This daily use can place your mobile device at risk for damage. For instance, manual labourers that use their mobile phones on the job site can drop their phones or place a tool on top of a mobile phone by accident. This type of damage can surely render a mobile phone useless.
One way that workers protect their mobile phones is with mobile insurance. It can guard against various types of damage that includes accidental or liquid damage, as well as theft, loss, extended warranty issues and fraudulent calls. The appeal of this type of cover is how reasonably priced it is — for as little as £2.49 a month the insurance company will repair or replace your mobile phone if it experiences a covered event. This low price makes it easy to protect your phone!
Just About To Lose Your Phone…..
Imagine if you owned a very expensive mobile phone or maybe you already do, and something happened that meant you needed to make a split second decision regarding saving your prized possession.
It could be anything such as your phone falling into a pond or river or down a drain. It can even be something as bad as a mugger trying to steal your phone. Whatever it is, it’s easy to understand how on the spur of the moment, you need to make a split second decision about what to do next.
Do you jump into the pond or river to try and save your phone? Do you try and squeeze down the the drain to retrieve your expensive item and do you refuse to hand over your expensive mobile phone to the mugger? All of these problems faces owners of expensive mobile phones each day and in particular the the theft of mobile phones is the number one crime in the UK.
It’s obvious that taking the wrong course of action could endanger your life. However when a split second decision is required we do not always make the right choice. The cost of replacing such an expensive item flashes into our minds and clouds our decision-making. We then find ourselves more willing than necessary to risk our lives for the sake of a few hundred pounds.
Imagine now, that we have backed up all the important data such as contacts etc. from the Iphone and have purchased a good insurance which covers loss or damage and theft. Now, when faced with any of the above situations, the first priority will not be the cost of having to replaces the item, because you will immediately think its not worth risking my life over it as I have insurance. Insuring your expensive Iphone really makes perfect sense.
Phone Insurance
Over 1.5 Million Phones Lost Yearly
It’s not until you become the unfortunate victim of a mobile phone loss, theft or breakage that you begin to realise one of two things. Either just how important it was that you insured your phone, or you realise just how stupid you are that you didn’t insure your phone.
At the time you buy your phone, the retailer will almost certainly try to sell you an insurance. There are two problems with this. First of all, you will be so interested in the features of your new phone and getting it home to have it up and running that purchasing insurance is an inconvenience.
The second and main problem is that getting your phone insured at the place you buy your phone is probably going to be quite a bit more expensive (and cover you for quite a bit less) than a specialist online insurance.
Over one and a half million phones are lost or stolen every year. In particular, the iPhone is such a great target for theives. The fact that its a superb phone packed with the latest technology makes it very desirable.
But it’s equally desirable to criminals, so if you own such a phone, getting it insured against these risks should be a priority.
Make sure the policy covers you for loss, theft and damage as a minimum.
In addition, better policies should cover you against water damage, the cost of any fraudulent calls made from your phone after being stolen, as well as cover for all of the above when travelling abroad.
