@LJ the phone needs to be purchased at Best buy. I also have been looking at insurance for iphone. My upgrade is coming up and want an iphone. I’ve been looking at statefarm and other similiar homeowners insurance. In the fine print they actaully say they can rise your premium and deductible everytime you make a claim. Safeware has a $50 deductible and is 120 a year. I’m going to go with Best buy’s insurance because I don’t want any hidden fees to show up later. They seem the most legit and also the $15 is pretty high, I tend to drop things a lot and no very prone to losing things. Plus, I rather go into the store and have things handled there instead of shipping my phone across the country.

I figure you can’t but my friend is insisting that I can buy BB insurance for my iPhone which I bought at an AT&T store. I haven’t seen anything that says otherwise, but I don’t want to waste gas to find out I can’t.

Think about the fact that it’s should have been free and the practically trick you to get some more money.

checked out Safeware. If you get there insuance for one year, its $108. But if you have to replace the phone within the first 6 months you have to pay the full amount of the iphone. After 6 months they send you a check for the amount that they cover and you pay $50. Doesn’t sound to good to me!!

Such a small amount of money is more than worth it for speedy replacement and peace of mine. I’ve had two replacements in 1 year; one for a cracked screen, one for a software fault caused by a short drop. Both were completely random accidents-I am extremely careful with my phone but these things do happen. There’s no way I’d cheap out on £10 a month for a phone worth hundreds of times that amount. Plus I got two free 16gb 3Gs upgrades because o2 don’t stock my old 3G anymore. Hehe

Paid out: £100 insurance Recieved £1000 worth of upgrades

Nice

iRepair Team LLC offers insurance plans that are superior to all other insurance or warranty plans out there.

I am the President and CEO of iRepair Team LLC. We have been in business for almost 2 years now and service customers all across the nation.

We do not require that the iPhone be mailed in to us. We offer two plans. One covering water damage and the entire phone for failure. This plan covers everything but theft and loss.

The other plan covers glass and lcd breakage as well as battery failure for 1 year for only $35 for the 3g and $45 for the 3gs. Only a $10 deductible is required for the 3g and $20 for the 3gs. 5 claims made me made per year.

There is simply no comparison to our insurance plans.

Please see iRepairTeam.com/iphoneinsurance for more information or call 888-269-5658 for more information.

The best buy insurance covers any accidental damage, normal wear and tear on the phone, minor water damage up to 4 water marks (which shouldn't cause a problem cause anyone with a brain isn't going to just let their iphone sit at the bottom of pool for an hour), there are no deductables, and unlimited number of claims, and yes a loaner phone is offered but of course it's not going to be an iphone otherwise you wouldn't have any reason to bring it back, there is a 7-10 day turnaround, but waiting a week or so for a phone is no big deal. BBY doesn't replace an unrepairable iphone with a referb, the only referbs they carry are the 3g.

Accidents happen, you could buy your iphone and walk out the door to go somewhere else to get it insured and drop it in the parking lot, after that BBY can't insure it and neither can anyone else. If you splurge $15 when you bu it it'll be covered for the next 30 days and in that 30 days you can look for "cheaper" insurances, but at least it'll be covered while you're doing it. If you do happen to find a better insurance all you have to do is call 1800geeksquad and cancel it with no cancellation fees.

Looking to buy an iphone 3gs and came across insuremyiphone.com. It insures even 3gs iphone for what seems a cheaper price than squaretrade or BBuy. Apparently it’s an insurance company by the name of Safeware that now offers iphone insurance and covers accidental damage, liquid spill, power surge, theft, fire, flood, & vandalism as well. Has a $50 deductible per incident. Price varies by phone. There is no limit to number of claims supposedly. I checked out on BBB and looks legitimate but check for yourself.
