when I purchased my I'm iPhone from cpwh tonight, they talked me into the 35 pound quarterly insurance. They told me that home insurance wouldn't cover it as if you lose your iPhone, you can't get another one for that contract... I just want to know if I'm being ripped off. Insurance is nice, as I live in a rough area of London, but is it worth 12 pound a month?. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

They tried to talk me into this too, they at one point told me that I could only insure it with CPW, as no one else would insure an iphone brought from CPW, I called BS and they didn't know what to do with themselves! What a load of S**te, that would mean a monopoly, which in this day in age is against the law.
There are pro's and con's with all insurances, and with my home insurance I don't get 24hr replacement as with the O2 or CPW insurance, but that isn't a huge concern to me.
I am pretty sure that if you claimed on your insurance and got a replacement in a couple of days you could simply sync it to your itunes and transfer your account to the new phone.
Just seen this on the O2 website.

You have 28 days from date of purchase to buy it.
Works out at £90 a year or £22.50 a quarter.
Cheaper than CPW

So if i drop my brand new iPhone I wave goodbye to £630 right there and then !!! ???
Can't I get a new one, unlock it and use it on my existing contract?
