Unexpected and unintentional physical harm to a mobile device, such as a cracked screen or liquid damage. Which is not covered under warranty.

What is phone insurance?

If you have phone insurance on your mobile, you can claim back money to cover the cost of a repair or get a new one, if your phone gets into trouble: if it’s lost, accidentally damaged, or stolen, for example.

Mobile insurance differs from a phone manufacturer’s warranty, which is typically time-restricted to 12 months or so, and only covers damage that wasn’t your fault. Phone insurance, on the other hand, lasts as long as you pay for your plan, and protects against much more than a warranty.

Typically, if you want to make a mobile phone insurance claim, you will have to pay a small excess fee before sending off the phone to be repaired. If it’s being replaced, it will be replaced and sent to you.

Is it worth having mobile phone insurance?

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 2021, the cost of replacing an iPhone 13 screen has risen to £266.44. 

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 325,000 people in England and Wales had their phones stolen in the year ending March 2020. With phone insurance, you can get reconnected quicker if you’re affected.

How often are phone insurance payments?

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.

What’s the excess on mobile phone insurance?

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.

How does the age of the phone affect the cost of mobile insurance?

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.

Are there exclusions on loveit coverit phone insurance?

Like all insurance policies, there are some rare occasions in which we won’t be able to provide mobile phone insurance cover for your device. You’ll be made aware of these when you make a quote, but the most common are as follows:

• Your phone is already damaged

• You bought your phone refurbished as grade B or C

• Your phone is 36 months old or more

• Your mobile wasn’t bought from a UK VAT-registered company

• You’re not a UK resident

• You haven’t paid for your mobile phone cover

How much does phone insurance cost?

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
