Mobile Phone Insurance is covered by my Home Contents

Hi All,
I have recently found out that I have been paying £10 per month for my mobile phone insurance only to find out that it is actually covered by my M&S home contents insurance under items away from home. This means I have paid about £400 over the last 4 years for absolutely no reason whatsoever:mad:.

Just thought I should let everyone know that if you have home contents insurance you may not need to pay the phone company for additional insurance. It is worth calling your insurers to check!

Does any one know if I would be able to claim any of the money back due to dual insurance? If so what is the process? I am with O2.

Many thanks

Leilani

    The networks will only go back 3 months on payment issues. They believe that people should be checking their statements/bills monthly and bring these things to their attention right away.
