Mine's insured with http://www.talkcover.co.uk/ or else you could look at different bank accounts, that offer extras, like mobile phone insurance for a monthly fee

Why can't your parents insure it on their house insurance and you pay them whatever it costs?

O2 quoted me £10 per month to insure mine but I put it on my house insurance for £2 per month !!

Yes, insurance is now £15pm on iPhone 3gs which is very expensive. Best to get a current account with your bank and use that. Only about £7pm.

Awful reviews, worthy of further investigation, Martin ?

Hi,
Can you please tell me if you had to pay o2 £400 "security deposit" for you phone, and they will refund you in 3 months?
Thanks

malima, can you explain further about this? I have never heard of any such practice at any phone company...

Hi,
It's just that my aunty went to o2 to buy 2 iphones on the business tariff, and they asked her for £400, they said they will refund it back to her in 3 months,(i told her not to buy them yet) I bought an iphone last year from carphone warehouse and they never asked me for any money upfront! I was thinking of getting the 3gs at o2 in December when my 18 months is up, but if they ask for that amount upfront, i think i'll stick with carphone warehouse.
Just wondering if anyone had pay money upfront.
thanks
