Key features

Theft cover

The bad news? Electronics are a prime target for thieves, and more than 250,000 mobile phone thefts1 are reported in the UK every year. The good news? We cover you against theft as standard.

1Source: National Mobile Phone Crime Unit 2015. We expect you to take reasonable precautions to keep your gadgets safe from theft.

Drops & accidental damage cover

We repair more than 1,700 gadgets per month on average. If you drop it – or the screen gets cracked – you're covered.

We don't cover cosmetic damage that doesn't affect the functionality of your device, like surface scratches and dents.

Liquid damage cover

Liquid can be deadly for a device. Whether it gets accidentally dunked in tea, doused in a drink or dropped in the bath, don't worry – you're covered.

We expect you to take reasonable precautions to keep your gadget safe from damage.

Worldwide cover

Keep your devise with you while you travel: our policy includes worldwide cover.

Replacements and repaired items can only be sent to UK addresses.

Mechanical breakdown cover

Blank screen? Broken button? Charging issues? If your gadget breaks down, you're covered.

We cover mechanical breakdowns after the manufacturer's warranty has run out.

Loss cover (optional)

Prone to losing your things? Loss cover adds a layer of protection to our standard cover - and is only an extra £1.50 per month, per gadget.

Loss cover is not available for laptops, MacBooks, desktop PCs or PC monitors.

New: ID theft protection (optional)

You're protecting your gadgets – now protect your identity. Get unlimited access to your Equifax credit report with Digital Secure.
