I have just signed on for a 24-month contract with Orange/EE and gotten a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (8Gb), for a price of £11.99 per month with modest requirements.
Previously, I have had a basic Nokia handset (old-fashioned but colour screen) but I wanted to combine my favourite pastime of music listening with being reachable, as up until now I have never taken my phone out of the house in case I lost it, and because I mainly used it as the landline as the house I rent in doesn't have a landline. I paid for the Nokia in full, BTW.
But I'm worried about taking my S3 outside, as there is risk of damage if dropped, rain soaking in, or just plain being nicked. I've been looking over the internet about how you should obviously report theft to EE and the police and let EE know about damage, but if my phone were lost, would I be expected to pay for the full handset? I'm not even sure what it's value is, the prices I've seen vary considerably.
So I'm assuming I should insure the phone, but should I use something like insurance2go, protectyourbubble or even the service that Orange/EE were showing at the checkout? What's the best deal?
And once I do sign up, how am I covered?
