Mobile Phone Insurance and Phone Theft
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
Mobile Phone Insurance and Travelling
Mobile phone insurance is necessary if you own a mobile phone which you want to keep and look after. Thats pretty much a ‘given’.
But you need to think through the details of what, when and how you want to be covered.
Like what about when you are on holiday?
Most people take their mobile phone with them on holiday to stay in touch with back home.
The trouble is you are just as likely to have your phone lost stolen or damaged – in fact potentially *more* likely…
When you go abroad you may be at a higher risk of losing you phone while you enjoy your trip away. You may be at a higher risk of it being stolen – maybe from your hotel or from your luggage. And it might well be damaged – have you ever seen how the baggage handlers actually handle your suitcases?
We offer international cover – whether you are away for business or pleasure – for up to 60 days in any 12 month period.
So make sure you get yourself covered and protected with a solid mobile phone insurance
