Smartphone Insurance

Smartphone Insurance from £5.29* per month

Over the past few years smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy and the Google Nexus have become massively popular and also incredibly powerful. Smartphones are much more than a way to communicate with friends and family and offer features that were once only possible on laptops. However, as their power has increased so has their cost, with a typical smartphone costing upwards of £900. So we think that getting quality smartphone insurance that covers the entire value of your phone is vital.

CoverCloud offers competitively priced cover for your contract, pre-paid or sim-free smartphone and gives you protection accidental damage, liquid damage, breakdown, theft and loss. All with overseas cover as standard.

CoverCloud insurance for the Galaxy S4 starts at £5.29 per month for our Theft & Loss Only cover level.

How do we compare against other insurers?
