FAQS
- Why can device insurance be important?

• You're at the start of a new contract. If something happens to your device, you could end up paying for something you can't even use.
• Losing or breaking a device is something happened to you before – and you don't want to repeat the expense of not having cover.
• Your device is really important to you – and you'd need a quick repair or replacement if the worst did happen.
