In some cases, they will extend the 14 day limit. I insured my phone exactly 1 month after purchase.

Does anyone know what the point of this limit is? Everything else can be insured at any time, what's the problem with phones? If it's to avoid dodgy pre-broken claims, why not have the sales agent verify that the phone is working?
