    So looks like the phone insurance is enabled in Ireland now.

    65 euro for the year with a 60 quid excess for an iPhone 7 Plus.

    Offered me 99 cent a week and €30 excess on S7 Edge, that's very good but I don't think it includes if phone is stolen, is that right?

    They offered me €1.22 a week for a normal S7, I wonder what's the difference. I don't see theft cover anywhere, not much point for me without that.

    It's only for damage sadly - I highly recommend it for anyone who has an edge phone though. I've cracked a good few screens on these. Premium revolut users get a 20% discount.

    A friend of mine has a oneplus 5. They do an extended warranty type insurance that covers the same as Revolut. It costs 100 per year when Rev cost 30.

    I received my invite for this today, has anyone any experience with them for handling returns/replacements? I've been offered €1.66 and €60 excess for a Note 8.

    Check your household insurance - might be cover already there.

    You don't want to claim on your home insurance. Insurer don't like to see claims on it

    Dear XXXX,

    Thank you for your email where you are asking us about the insurance options when you are living in Ireland.

    It is correct indeed that we have offered our insurance services in Ireland in the past. Unfortunately, we had to stop our services in Ireland due to a legal issue. According to the Irish law, we would be obligated to offer a repair center in Ireland for our Irish customer. Because we have our OnePlus licensed repair partner in Czech, we unfortunately do not fulfill this requirement of the Irish law.

    We are working on the problem so we hopefully be able to offer our services in Ireland in the future again. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this might cause you, but we hope that you can understand our decision making with the reason explained as mentioned above.

    If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Greetings from Berlin,
    Daniel de Wit
