broken phone insurance

I have been meaning to insure my new mobile phone that is around a month old. I dropped my phone this morning and the screen broke :(

I've been quoted £120 by a third party to install it. I simply cannot afford it. I was thinking that i should register for mobile phone insurance now and make the claim in a months time.

Is it possible to make claims in pretty new insurance deals?

Does this sound like a ok plan guys?

    That's fraud. I'd be sure knowone on here will recommend or condone it.

  • Thanks for the reply.

    Insurance companies are ripping customers off constantly whenever possible. I won't an neither should anyone else feel bad for bending the rules that they bend on a daily basis.

    You aren't bending the rules you are just ignoring them and committing fraud. As a result the price goes up for the rest of us. Quite selfish actions really.

    When I claimed for my phone it was assessed for how and when it was damaged. If you try to do this, I hope you get caught.
