Mobile insurance explained

What is mobile insurance?

Mobile insurance is a policy that may provide repair, replacement or financial settlement when a smartphone is affected by an event expressly insured under the policy. Depending on the selected product, insured events may include accidental damage, liquid damage or theft. The exact protection is defined by the insurer's policy wording, policy schedule, limits and exclusions.

Not every policy covers every event. A policy that includes theft should not automatically be assumed to cover a broken screen; a policy that includes accidental damage should not automatically be assumed to cover theft. Check the actual insured events before selecting a plan.

Understand the cover

Types of mobile insurance cover

These are common categories to look for when reviewing a mobile insurance policy. They are not a promise that every plan available through DigitInsure includes each benefit.

Accidental damage

Some policies cover specified accidental physical damage caused by an unforeseen event. Check whether screen breakage, impact damage and other repairable damage are included, and review exclusions, limits and any customer contribution.

Liquid damage

Liquid or moisture damage is covered only when expressly included. Review the policy definition, exclusions, inspection requirements and documentation needed to make a claim.

Theft protection

A theft policy may cover specified theft circumstances. Check how theft is defined, whether snatching or burglary is included, the reporting deadline and the evidence required. Loss or unexplained disappearance may be excluded.

Important: Accidental damage, liquid damage and theft are separate insured events. Do not assume one includes the others. The policy schedule is the definitive record of the protection purchased.

Available options

Mobile insurance plan options

The calculator presents the following plan choices. Plan names alone do not describe the full cover. Review the actual benefit schedule and policy wording associated with the option shown for your device before payment.

Full Comprehensive

Review the listed insured events carefully and confirm whether accidental damage, liquid damage, theft or other events are included in the specific policy offered.

Non Comprehensive

Check the exact benefits, exclusions and limits for this option. Do not assume it includes all events available under another plan category.

Regular Insurance

Review the policy schedule to identify the insured events and claim conditions that apply to this option before selecting it.

Price is calculated from the details entered in the calculator. The applicable premium, taxes, eligibility and policy terms are confirmed through the purchase process and policy documents.

Insurance or warranty?

Mobile insurance and extended warranty are different

Mobile insurance

An insurance policy responds to specified insured events when they are covered by the policy. The insurer, insured events, limits, exclusions and claims conditions are set out in the policy documents.

Mobile extended warranty

An extended-warranty agreement generally relates to specified eligible device failures or services. It does not automatically insure against theft, accidental damage or liquid damage.

Before you apply

Mobile insurance eligibility and documents

Eligibility depends on the particular product and insurer/provider requirements. The calculator asks for your phone brand, model, invoice value, purchase date, device age and selected plan. The details are used to calculate an estimate and identify the option you wish to purchase; final acceptance remains subject to the applicable checks and policy conditions.

Keep these details ready

  • Mobile brand and exact model.
  • Original purchase date.
  • Purchase invoice and invoice value.
  • IMEI or serial number, if requested through the official verification process.
  • Device condition and any other requested verification information.

Device-age options in the calculator

  • It is under 1 to 4 month.
  • It is above 5 to 18 month.

Choose the range that accurately matches your device. Final device eligibility is subject to provider checks and the applicable policy terms.

Read the conditions

Common exclusions and limitations to review

Depending on the product, policy exclusions or limitations may relate to:

  • Pre-existing damage, faults or incidents that occurred before cover began.
  • Intentional damage, fraud or material misrepresentation.
  • Unexplained disappearance, loss or circumstances not meeting the policy definition of theft.
  • Unauthorised repair, tampering or use contrary to policy conditions.
  • Cosmetic damage, accessories or parts not included in the policy.
  • Late notification or failure to provide required documents.
  • Deductibles, depreciation, sub-limits and maximum claim amounts.

This is an illustrative checklist, not a complete list of exclusions. The actual policy wording and schedule take precedence.

Mobile insurance is a policy that may provide repair, replacement or financial settlement for specified insured events affecting a phone. The insurer's policy wording and schedule define the actual cover, limits and exclusions.

Does every mobile insurance plan cover accidental damage, liquid damage and theft?

No. The insured events vary by policy. Check the exact plan schedule to confirm whether accidental damage, liquid damage, theft or any other event is included.

Does mobile insurance cover a broken screen?

A broken screen may be covered when it results from an insured event included in the selected policy. Pre-existing damage, cosmetic damage and other exclusions may apply.

Does mobile insurance cover liquid damage?

Only when liquid damage is expressly included in the applicable policy. Review its definition, exclusions and claim requirements before purchase.

Does mobile insurance cover theft or snatching?

Some policies include specified theft events. Check how theft is defined, whether snatching or burglary is included, the reporting deadline and the evidence required. Loss or unexplained disappearance may not be covered.

Which insurance plans can I select in the calculator?

The calculator offers Full Comprehensive, Non Comprehensive and Regular Insurance. The plan name does not, by itself, confirm the insured events. Review the actual policy information shown for your selection.

What device-age options are shown in the calculator?

The calculator currently presents two choices: 1–4 months and 5–18 months. Final eligibility is subject to the applicable provider checks and policy conditions.

What is the validity of the calculator purchase option?

The current calculator displays one-year validity. The effective policy period, including its start and end dates, should be confirmed in the policy documents issued for the purchase.

Can I insure a phone I have already purchased?

Possibly. Eligibility depends on the product's device-age limit, purchase window, device condition and verification requirements. Check the result and terms for your specific device.

Will I need the original purchase invoice?

The invoice may be required to verify the purchase date, device model and value. The exact documentation requirements are stated in the policy or application process.

Is every claim automatically approved?

No. A claim is assessed against the insured event, policy conditions, exclusions, limits and supporting documents. Purchasing a policy does not guarantee approval of a future claim.

Who underwrites the insurance policy?

The legal name of the insurer underwriting a specific policy should be stated in its policy schedule and documents. DigitInsure's facilitation or distribution role should not be confused with the insurer's underwriting responsibility.

Is mobile insurance the same as an extended warranty?

No. Mobile insurance responds to insured events listed in a policy. An extended warranty covers specified faults or services under a separate agreement. Check each product's governing document.
