  • Personally I would make sure you insure it. Loosing it would put you in an awful position. For what it's worth the extra few quid a month will be worth the actual peace of mind rather than the big outlay if you lost it. ProtectYourBubble Insurance is reasonable.

    No one can answer that for you-do you have the cash in hand to replace the handset in case of loss or damage? If not, then you need the insurance.
    Remember that in case of loss or damage your contract continues for the full 24m minimum term.
    But check if you already have such cover under your household contents insurance-or can add it cheaply.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    If you have a joint account with your bank take out their package, so you will pay half the amount for the insurance
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • I dont, if I brick my phone Id just buy a cheap android until upgrade time

    Add it to your house policy (contents, out of home) MUCH cheaper.
