Solved: Repair bill too high - Page 2

Anonymous · ‎02-01-2016

A few weeks ago I dropped my lumia 930 from literally a foot (it slid from my pocket as I crouched down.) It must have hit the corner in the perfect spot because the entire screen fracturered.

I took it to my local 02 store and have been given a quote of £220 to repair it - this seems fairly extortionate for a new screen. I still have a year left on my contract, so would have to pay £180 to purchase the broken phone.

I discovered today that I hve phone insruance through my bank, but I haven't registered the phone with them, so that avenue is a no go.

Do I have any options here, or do I have to suck it up and pay for another year of use on a phone I can't use?

every insurance company I know requires you to register the IMEI of a phone covered.

and you can guarantee they'll use it as an excuse not to pay out if you don't, too.....

Probably. Kind of glad a revisited the T&Cs as this means my last two phones were technically not covered
