Lloyds Bank insurance - anyone claimed for iPhone?

I'm a Lloyds current account holder and I'm wondering whether to upgrade to silver to insure my iPhone.

What I really want are stories from people who've claimed for iPhone damage - those with good or bad experiences.

Thanks.

    Not an iphone but we do have the mobile phone insurance. Made a claim this year no problem.

    I personally haven't made a claim on my Lloyds TSB Mobile Phone Insurance, but someone I know made a claim after their iPhone 3G 16GB fell in the toilet. A claim was made without any issues and surprisingly they replaced it with a iPhone 3GS 32GB.

    I'm just wondering if anybody knows if they ask for proof of purchase as I bought my phone of eBay.

    Was that when you lost the phone or asked for it to be repaired?

    i broke the screen so wanted it repaired, when i got it back the housing was cracked so they gave me £280 to buy a new phone.

    Even I am planning to get the similar insurance from Lloyds. Does anyone know what happens if you make a claim? I mean does your credit rating gets affected? or will the premium for the future insurance gets more expensive?

    I also have the N82 and was wondering was that based on the amount you paid for your N82 or their own evaluation?

    I'm not 100% sure, but from what I understand it doesn't affect your credit rating or premium for any future insurance.

    This is true, unless your on pay monthly then a letter from your network detailing your number and IMEI will do. I have claimed several times. Its run by Lifestyle Services group who do Barclays mobile insurance and their gadget insurance, Ive had a new laptop through their insurance, Just pay the excess and your away.


    However make sure you report within 48 hours of incident otherwise they'll refuse the claim until you appeal
