Who do you have your phones insured with ?
Reason I ask is I had my phone from phones 4 u and I didnt take out insurance and last week I dropped my phone the day after my wife dropped hers down the loo .
She had a samsung s2 and she had her contract bought out by phones 4 u ( ie they gave her £170 for a phone that had been down the loo )
She then took out a new contract on Vodafone with a samsung galaxy note 2 .
The same model phone I dropped and cracked the screen !!!!
Ouch guess what new screen £180 !!!!

I soooo wish id taken out insurance on my phone for the sake of a fiver a month and £50 excess
Hindsight is a great thing isn't it .

Have you thought about an advance bank account?
They're not for everyone but for us it is great.
Travel insurance
Breakdown insurance (not commercial vehicles)
Mobile phone insurance
Preferential rates on savings
Host of discounts on purchases

Think there are more but those are the things we benefit from
Only £12.95p/m and 1/2 price for first 6 months.
£117 for first year.

Check yr house insurance

Agree, most good home insurance policies cover mobiles. They just don't make it that obvious in the policy documents.
