mobile phone insurance

Hi all, my daughter has just bought a Samsung Tocco on an 18 month contract with Orange and she needs insurance for it. I've googled it but the Ts & Cs of the various policies seem to have lots of exclusions. Anyone got any suggestions for the best/cheapest insurance,please? Cheers.

    All I can add is,Don't go with your phone providers insurance.
    Dunno about Orange but with Vodafone their insurance is £6.99 a month plus 25 quid excess and when I had cause to claim last year(My Mrs put my trousers in the washing m/c with my phone in the zip up pocket.The phone was Donald Ducked but it was nice and clean though!).The like for like phone was "discontinued" and I was given a choice of what I could have as a replacement.
    All the models offered could be bought unlocked for less than the cost of a years premium plus the 25 pounds.
    Never skimp on Shoes,Tea bags and fishing tackle!
