persoannly i find the idea of insuring your mobile phone at all a bit odd tbh0

Actually I'm quite surprised MSE hasn't got around to talking about reclaiming mis-sold mobile phone insurance by now.
I was given a policy with the first 3 months free. I checked the details - no cover for calls made while stolen, replace handset at wholesale cost, with a £15 excess.
I reckoned the phone was only worth £15, so the £7 a month policy had no value at all. I cancelled it before they started charging from the 4th month, only to discover they'd already collected the first premium 3 weeks early. They eventually refunded about a month and a half after I complained.
Some people might not notice these things.0 -
Seems Insure2go have changed their minds recently(?) .. so don't provide insurance (my reading of the article made me believe they may)0
