When you buy a mobile phone from our company, we'll give the option to choose whether or not you'd like to take out insurance cover. If you choose to take out cover for your mobile phone, you will automatically pay premiums on a monthly basis, so if you don't want to stay with us, let us know by calling 0800 049 6189.

Phone Care insurance gives you the benefit of protection against:

  • Accidental damage
  • Damage from water or other liquids
  • Theft

  • Accessories cover (Up to a current retail value of £300)

Your first payment:

Your first payment will be taken upfront in the checkout when you place your order. We'll confirm the start date of your policy by post.

THEFT, LOSS, DAMAGE & BREAKDOWN

If your phone is damaged, lost or stolen, we will, where possible, replace it with the same make and model as your original phone.

ACCESSORY COVER

We will pay up to £300 for standard accessories supplied with your phone; and/or any case, charger, screen protector and/or memory card purchased from mobiles.co.uk, e2save.com or the Carphone Warehouse, to be used specifically with your phones, if:

a. you make a successful claim for your phone and the accessories were affected during the same incident; or

b. we replace your phone with a different make or model and you can no longer use them.

For more information, see our full terms and conditions.

What's not covered

Theft, Loss, Damage & Breakdown
  • We will not cover your phone or accessories against theft or loss if they have been deliberately left unattended and unsecured.
  • We will not cover any theft claim from an unattended vehicle unless the phone was concealed, the vehicle was securely locked and the vehicle had been broken into.
  • We will not cover any claim for damage caused by general wear and tear, scratching or any other type of damage that does not affect how the phone works, i.e cosmetic damage.

Excess

The excess is the amount you must pay toward the cost of a claim. You must pay the excess (shown on your insurance certificate) for each claim you make. There is no excess to be paid on a claim for breakdown.

To make a claim on your policy, follow these steps:

  • If your phone has been stolen, you must report it to the police and obtain a crime reference number.
  • To make a claim for theft or loss call us on 0800 049 6189 or alternatively visit one of our Carphone Warehouse stores. To make a claim for damage or breakdown, we recommend you visit any Carphone Warehouse store so that your phone can be promptly assessed. If you have difficulties in reaching one of our stores, please call us on 0800 049 6189.

Before you contact us, please make sure you have:

  • A police crime-reference number for theft claims
  • The damaged phone or accessory to hand for claims for breakdown, accidental or liquid damage
  • Your policy details

Your cancellation rights:

You may cancel your policy at any time. If you cancel within the first 14 days from the day of purchase, i.e. start date of your policy, or the day on which you received your policy documentation - whichever is the later date, you will receive a complete refund on premiums paid (unless you have made a claim). If you wish to cancel after the 14 days, you will not be entitled to any refund and will be covered up until the end of the month covered by your final payment.

If you cancel your policy, your phone will no longer be protected by Phonecare following the end of your cover period. You won't be able to start cover again in the future as we can only arrange cover for your phone when it's new. If you cancel your policy and have been paying by Direct Debit, you will need to ask your bank to cancel the Direct Debit instruction.

If you want to cancel your policy please go to www.geeksquad.co.uk/contact, call 0800 049 6189 or write to: Phone Care, PO Box 358, Southampton, SO30 2PJ.
