What is Cellphone Insurance?

Questions to ask prospective Cellphone Insurance providers:
- Do you only insure new phones or are older cellphone models also accepted?
- Do certain conditions have to be met to warrant a claim? For example, will I be covered if my cellphone was stolen from the front seat of my car or must it have been locked away in the boot?
- Are there any waiting periods that apply before my cellphone is fully covered?
How to Claim
- If your cellphone has been stolen or lost and you no longer have possession of it, the claim normally has to be preceded by blacklisting the phone with the relevant service provider. An ITC number will be issued to you to prove that it has been blacklisted, which you then need to provide to your insurance company as part of the claim. You may also need to report this to the police and they will then issue you with a case number.
