Anyone sorted their iPhone 4 insurance with O2?

Joel Leo J · 24-06-2010, 14:55

I bought an iPhone 4 from Apple, I already have phone insurance with o2 and so phoned up O2 to arrange to transfer onto an iPhone 4.

I gave them the IMIE number and now they want me to fax proof of purchase of to them.

anyone found a simpler way to do this, as I dont have a fax machine.

TIA

Can't you scan it and send it to them that way?

I have another question. Can you have O2 insurance if i swapped to a different company. Say i wanted an iphone 4 with 3 but i like o2's insurance?

Forgive me for not answering the question but on the subject of o2 insurance do you really think it's worth £15 per month !?

Got my iphone 4 today and nearly choked when they quoted me that figure.

Go to your nearest o2 store and ask them to fax it through. I asked about this today and they said it would be fine to do that.
IMO £15 a month is a nominal amount, considering the cost of replacement or repair of the handset if such a circumstance should arise. With or without a handset, once you sign a contract you still have to pay it, so I'd rather do it with a brand spanking new handset rather than just a sim.

The excess is now £75 and increases each time a claim is made. Still a lot cheaper than buying a new phone out right but pricey all the same.
Can anyone recommend and 3rd party iPhone insurers?

That's a bit much really compared to vodafone insurance which is 12.99 a month, £50 excess which doesn't increase.

Looks very tempting. Have any of you out there used any of the above?

blakeich · 25-06-2010, 15:44

well thats a bit strange because i have an o2 3g iphone and my insurance is only £7.50 per month. With a £25 fee.

where are people getting this £15 insurance from. is that just the iphone 4?

Interestingly when you buy a phone in-store they make you sign something to say you declined insurance. Not sure why they do this.
