  • You should make a note of the IMEI Number (International Mobile Equipment Identity Number) of your mobile phone. This 15 digit number can be found on your mobile phone’s original packaging, by keying *#06# on your mobile phone or by contacting your mobile phone’s network provider. The IMEI is the unique serial or identification number that we will use to identify the mobile phone in the event of a claim.
  • If you make a successful claim for accidental loss or theft, and your mobile phone is then recovered, it becomes the property of the Insurer and you should contact the administrator on the telephone number in Step One of ‘Making a Claim’.
  • We may verify if your device has been blocked using a database that is linked to your network provider.
  • We may verify the crime reference number using a database that is linked to the relevant authority and contact the Police Station or relevant authority. If you are not able to provide a crime reference number, we may not consider your claim. You may be asked to complete a claim form to support your claim.

We will always do our best to make sure that you’re satisfied with the outcome.
