phone insurance

event

hi

im wondering does anyone know what way phone insurance works?
if you break your phone under any circumstances, do they replace it?

i have insurance with O2, had it will all my bill phones and have never claimed. About 4/5 years now

im looking at getting a new phone, but was wondering?

could i *accidentialy* break my current phone and get a new one. Then go and get my new upgrade, allowing me to sell the one i just got on insurance?

maybe thats sorta illegal but was just wondering?

if this thread isnt allowed, apologies, go ahead and delete

have they not offered you a free upgrade every year ?

Friend of mine got k800i for free just for staying one year with 3

well read the terms and conditions on ur agreement

how about going in tallagh shopping center to loose your mobile in Mc donalds ! Just kidding

remeber there is a difference between lost and stolen it can change the whole picture

no O2 give you an upgrade every 18 months or when you spend €800 in 12 months

well might just let it fall

was just wondering if i get a new phone, does it cancel out my upgrade.

technically the insurance is with a different company, only paid through O2

insurance shouldnt cancel the upgrade

The best company i found is carphone wharehouse its a big company and its easy to deal with

yes let it fail and then go with all sorts of complains and eventually you should get it u might have to send it for repairs multiple times before getting a new handset

is it NOKIA ? the handset in question

event

its a SE k750i

i was thinking more along the lines of, break it in bits on the ground, say i let it fall or something

then get a new k750i from them, then get my upgrade, unlock the new k750i and sell it or give it to the other half

well just be careful

coz once u have made ur move u will have to stick to it so

plan ahead

i am not sure about breaking idea .

i have never dealth with o2 people

always been with CPW and they are always with "customer first" approach !

Good Luck with it if u ger a decent person he will do it for u other with tough luck

But sure there are plenty of stores in dublin so pick the bussiest one and dont leave shop until satisfied

Tricks of Trade !

I'm not entirely sure how the insurance works. My friend lost her phone at a party and we assumed she could get a replacement under her insurance, but to our astonishment she was told no. Immediately I cancelled my insurance!

in all ur statement there is one word which just fecked the whole thing and its "lost" when u have insurance always remember its never lost its always "STOLEN"

though that would require a police report i think

yes but when u loose your phone some one must have found that and that makes it stolen

Dare I link you direct to the relevent part of the O2 website.

The only downside is that it's not done thorugh O2 - it's done through a company called Eagle Star which means you may be without a phone for a day or two.

Both lost and stolen phones need a police report.
