What Is Mobile Phone Insurance and Why Do You Need It?

Accidents happen—phones slip, screens crack, and sometimes, devices are stolen. Mobile phone insurance offers financial protection for these situations and more, ensuring you can replace or repair your device without the worry of high costs. Unlike warranties, which expire after 12 months and only cover manufacturer defects, insurance offers lasting protection for theft, accidental damage, and even loss.

If you own a flagship device like the iPhone 16 or Google Pixel 9, insurance can be an affordable way to protect your investment. Explore coverage tailored to these devices on our iPhone insurance page or Google insurance page.

Affordable Coverage for Over 1300 Models

At loveit coverit, we insure over 1300 devices, covering popular brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, Nokia, Huawei, and more. Whether you need coverage for an iPhone 16 (starting at £5.49 per month) or a budget-friendly device like the Samsung Galaxy M13 (from £1.65 per month), we’ve got you covered.

The cost of phone insurance depends on the make and model of your mobile. An older model that has less market value will be charged a cheap phone insurance rate, whereas a brand new, state-of-the-art smartphone will cost a bit more.

Additionally, a Premium level of mobile insurance cover that covers loss as well as theft, accidental damage, and more, will cost slightly more than Essential cheap mobile phone insurance cover.

For example, the Apple iPhone 13 with 128GB of memory costs £7.29 a month for Premium monthly phone insurance. A Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, on the other hand, costs £4.79 per month.

There are several reasons why you might need mobile phone insurance.

First, if you want to reduce your phone costs. With smartphones costing so much nowadays, mobile phone insurance is a good idea if you don’t fancy forking out hundreds of pounds on a replacement mobile – especially since flagship devices routinely cost over £1,000. Even repairs are getting more expensive – by 2025, the cost of replacing an iPhone 15 screen has risen to £200.

While a phone insurance policy does have a monthly cost and you may have to pay an excess fee when you claim, this can pale in comparison to the price of a new device.

Second, if you’re a higher-risk phone user. Some of us are more likely than others to lose or drop our phones. It’s not a positive or negative – it’s just a fact of life. If you’re one of these people, then mobile insurance can take the stress and cost out of regularly having to repair or replace your phone. This means you can enjoy your mobile, not be scared to use it.

And third, mobile insurance can guard against theft. While phones are ubiquitous these days, criminals still target users – particularly in environments like public transport. The Crime Survey for England and Wales estimates that 83,900 people in England and Wales had their phones stolen over a period of 12 months over 2023/2024, double the number of the previous 12 months. With phone insurance, you can get reconnected quicker if you’re affected.

If anything happens to your device, you can make a claim. Provided that the issue is covered under your phone insurance policy, you will typically pay an excess charge before sending the phone off for repair or replacement. This is a non-refundable cost charged for claiming on your policy.
The excess charge itself will differ depending on your mobile insurance policy, which is decided by your make and model. Essentially, the more expensive your phone, the more you’ll need to pay. If claiming for loss or theft, you may have to pay extra compared to if you were making an accidental damage mobile phone insurance claim.

Once you’ve made a successful claim and received a replacement gadget, you’re more than welcome to cancel the insurance policy, though you won’t be covered for any further issues. If you try to cancel while a claim is on-going, there’s a chance that you’ll invalidate the claim and be unable to get a replacement. Always check your providers terms and conditions to be sure.

We've put together a handy guide for finding your IMEI number on Android which is part of the mobile phone insurance claims process.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, your mobile phone will be covered by your home insurance policy if you lose or break it in the property, or if it’s stolen from your home. That is often the extent of mobile phone insurance though – it won’t feature airtime abuse or accessory cover, for example

Once you’ve decided on loveit coverit and used our quote tool to find the right price, all you have to do is fill in a simple online form about your device and set up a phone insurance payment plan – it’s that easy.
For devices that don’t appear on our website – that may be older or unique, for example – all you have to do is get in touch with our experts. They’ll be able to tell you if your device is eligible for cover and how you can proceed.

We know that mobiles matter, which is why we’ll aim to get you yours within 24 to 48 hours of your phone insurance claim being approved.

As you might find when buying a phone or purchasing a contract, the older the phone, the cheaper the mobile insurance typically is.

That’s because older smartphones are in less demand and thus simply cost less, which means reduced costs when replacing or repairing them.

To ensure that you’re getting the best deal when you sign up to loveit coverit phone insurance, we regularly check the prices of all the phones we cover. That way, you will be able to get cheap phone insurance from the get-go.

The regularity of your mobile phone insurance payments depends on the policy you take out, and at loveit coverit, there are two options to choose from.

First, monthly policies. These work like any other bill – you pay a monthly fee, and we provide mobile insurance on your device. You can choose when the payment goes out of your account too, so no worries if your payday falls at an awkward time of the month.

Just bear in mind that we don’t take payments in the first 14 days after the policy begins, so you might initially have to pay for two months’ worth of cover in the same calendar month.
Alternatively, you can choose to pay your mobile insurance yearly. This one is just as simple – pay for a year’s worth of cover in one lump sum and renew at the end of the year.
