its well.. Say you decide to go for a swim and forget your phone is in your pocket. you tell em its busted. and to replace your phone. you pay 50 dollars. they pay for the rest. not all phone insurance companies do that. a couple years back they didnt have that. and lemme tell ya. i took advantage of it. its amazing what a few accidents on a four-wheeler can do to a phone :-/ but the insurance works like any other. in florida, we just got hit with 4 back to back hurricanes... most deductables are a few grand. then the insurance paid to fix roofs, walls. and sometimes whole new homes. which is alot more then a few grand. so if your phone is cheap. dont waste the money. and never heard of home insurance covering a cell phone... but then again, i go from apartment to apartment. ...
