FlexPlus Mobile Insurance and iPhoneX

Hi

I was one of the lucky ones to get a pre order iPhone X to replace my old iPhone 6s.

I went for the 256gb but have now realised (yes I know this is my fault) that my Nationwide FlexPlus insurance only covers phones up to £1000. Mine will be over this.

When first setting up the bank account to cover the iPhone 6s I never in my wildest dreams imagined having to pay over a grand for a phone(!) but never underestimate Apple I guess.

:rotfl:

I could cancel the order and downgrade to the 64gb but wondered what others are doing in this same situation?

    Sorry! Seems it will be covered. Just saw a tweet regarding this from @AskNationwide.

    Nobody has to pay over £1000 for a phone!

    'Lucky' is a relative term :)

    Good news then. But possibly partly why the monthly fee is going up. ;)
