Very efficient customer service.
It was very easy to add my new earbuds onto my mobile phone insurance. I've never had to claim so can't comment on the insurance overall.

Worst insurer I've ever had. Will find a way to avoid paying for claims
Not sure why their score is so high on here when the level of service I received was the worst I ever received from the insurance.
Despite my contract including breakdown cover, they simply blamed it on wear and tear of thr battery and refused to pay for my sons battery thay simply stopped working, making the phone unusable. They took days to even address the claim, while my son loses the ability to have his phone for school to see he's safe, they take their time, not a care in the world. Had I known contracts mean nothing to them, clearly not the insurer I would have gone with. Despite me being fuming, they refused to provide any kind of compensation or refund to take back my renewal.

Dear Orit,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really sorry to hear how unhappy and frustrated this situation has left you, particularly given the impact it’s had on your son and the delay you experienced while the claim was being reviewed. I completely understand why this would feel upsetting.
Claims decisions are assessed in line with the policy terms, including how issues such as wear and tear are considered, but I appreciate that this can feel very disappointing when the outcome isn’t what you expected. Our customer care team would welcome the opportunity to review your concerns in more detail and make sure everything has been explained clearly, as well as discuss any next steps available to you.
If you’d like to speak with someone directly, our customer care team are available on 01702 568070, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and they’ll be happy to help however they can.

Quick and easy cover
Quick and straightforward on the website to find the cover I needed. Very reasonable pricing too compared with other quotes I got for a new phone. Not made any claims or needed customer support so far, so can’t comment on that.
