Nearing my upgrade date

Hey guys

I am near my upgrade date, but the phone I want isnt avaliable on my price plan, I have called Vodafone and they said they will more than likely meet my needs and demands as I am a good customer and so on ....

But as the phone is expensive I was wondering is it best to take out a insurance policy or will the warranty cover the product??? Hope you can help

  • A warranty will only cover manufacturing defects. It will not cover a lost, stolen or accidentally damaged phones. If you think you need this cover on your phone, then you should take out insurance.

    Hi Scott

    I can't wait for my upgrade! I love setting up my new phone for the first time and making it my own!

    DarkConvict is right insurance will cover you for the things that your warranty won't such as loss, theft, accidental and water damage. I'd always advice taking this if you are upgrading to a new phone as it would cost so much to replace it any of the above were to happen.

    If you need any help upgrading feel free to get in touch with us here by sending us an email from the Contact Us page with MMM135 in the subject line as well as a link to this thread along with your details in the body of the email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

    Have a good night!

    I always go for insurance, even if only for a few months, new phones are more likely to be damaged/lost/stolen, so I personally cover all my phones, the judge it every few months if I want to cancel or not.
