    The best way to insure a such inexpensive phone is just to put £5-£10 into a savings account every month.

    Tesco wanted £6 a month to insure a MOTO G for 2 years

    I declined

    Going to put the £6 into a piggy bank instead

    hope to have £144 after 2 years, SIMPLES!
  • As above. Most if not all insurers would charge an excess for any claim on top of the premium, and the excess alone would probably be equal to buying a new Moto E. Just make sure your PIN protect your phone to avoid horrendous fraudulent call charges etc if you lose it.

    To give TESCO mobile due, you can put a low cap on charges, so thats not really a problem!
