Damaged, Dropped Or Broken Mobile Phone
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mike_Levien]Mike Levien You may have noticed that that there is a very wide range of mobile phone handsets available out there to suit all pockets and requirements. They start from as little as 30 right up to the top-end Blackberry and PDA handsets costing many hundreds of pounds. Because the best and most desirable handsets are so expensive, it is usual not to buy them outright but rather to have them on a Contract for 12 or 18 months. Actually in the long run, this can actually work out a much cheaper way of phone ownership. However, what would happen to your Contract mobile phone if it got damaged or lost ?? Do you think the shop would give you another one ?? Do you think the Contract would stop and you wouldnt need to pay because you were without the use of the phone ? If you do not have mobile phone insurance then you may be faced with a large bill to get the phone repaired (if possible) or to go out and have to buy a brand new one to replace it with. Experience has shown that most phones fail in very similar ways usually resulting in the phone being totally unusable. CRACKED LCD: this is usually caused by the phone being dropped or twisted (inside pocket etc) WATER DAMAGE: this is very common and can be caused by dropping the phone in a puddle, down the toilet or even into a pint of beer. These types of fault are VERY COMMON and can be a nightmare if the phone is uninsured. If the LCD becomes cracked,then depending on the make and model, the LCD display can theoretically be replaced. But some of the newer dual-sided displays are VERY EXPENSIVE to buy and, when the labour charge and VAT is added to the repair you can end up with a sizable bill. If the phone is water damaged then this is most serious: You need a specialized insurance policy to cover this problem - as most will not cover LIQUID DAMAGE to the phone. (When the phone gets contaminated by liquid, it starts off a corrosion process to the Circuit Board and Electronic Surface Mount Components). Once the corrosion is present it is very unlikely that the mobile phone will operate correctly again. Although there are companies and methods to clean the corrosion, the service will not carry a warranty because it usually does not provide a lasting repair. The only solution is to replace the entire Circuit board and this usually would write off the phone due to the high costs involved. Remember accidents CAN and WILL happen, but with sensible precautions your mobile phone will offer you security, peace of mind and be your faithful friend ! 2006 Insure-Moby If you would like to receive further information from us then please visit our [http://www.insure-moby.co.uk/]phone insurance website and get a free newsletter.
