Mobile Phone Insurance

I'm about to change mobile phone networks and tariffs (from vodafone to t-mobile). As a result I will get a new phone - currently looking at the Nokia 6230i. Now, i'm looking at possible insurance options for the phone. I've consulted the home insurance policy (as suggested by some people here) and mobile phones aren't covered. I don't get any cover from my bank or anybody else.

My biggest concern is the cost of unauthorised calls if the phone is stolen. So can anyone recommend a good insurance provider which isn't too expensive. I've had a look through the forums, but couldn't find anything specific.

Thanks in advance.

Stuart.

    Where are you getting the new phone from? Carphone warehouse do a good insurance policy (yes I work for them but do really think its good) that covers you for:

    Theft/loss
    damage
    water/liquid damage
    unauthorised calls (£500/£3000 depending on the plan)
    overseas cover
    third party cover
    contract breaker (meaning you can return the handset after a certaiin amount of time within contract)
    theft from a vehicle

    Obviously you have to bought the phone from them.
