mobile insurance

Options
Hello everyone,

I have been waiting for the new Satio mobile and just got myself a great deal with Orange :j They have given me a free month of insurance and said something like after 4 months I can cancel this if I want. It costs £6 a month.

I think I am right in thinking that when I recieve my phone, I have 14 days to change my mind. So if I cancel the insurance in those 14 days then hopefully I will not have to pay for a further 3 months insurance once the first free month is over.

I will need insurance, and read on the forum that Barclays Graduate Account offers mobile insurance. I looked on Barclays website and there are several accounts which have this offer. I have a student account and will enquire as to whether I can have mobile insurance. I didn't see a cost, so if anyone knows this could they tell me, or is it a benefit that Barclays offer customers free of charge.

If I can't get insurance with Barlcays, I will probably stick with Orange. I did read the mobile phone insurance info on the main website and looked at talkcover plan but this works out £5.99 a month anyways.

Thanks for reading, and I hope someone can help me. I do need insurance but looking for cheapest way possible.

    To answer the orange insurance question, it depends. I got free insurance for the first month but on the condition i keep it for at least 4 months. You should be able to cancel either/both the phone/insurance within the first 7 or so days.
