Vodafone insurance exclusions
Vodafone offers insurance for your phone, tablet, or iPad against damage, loss, or theft. The insurance covers accessories worth up to £200 that are purchased from Vodafone or GetGoFone and are lost, stolen, or damaged along with the insured device. The cost of insurance varies according to the device and is shown at the point of purchase.
However, there are certain exclusions and limitations to Vodafone's insurance policy. Firstly, not all devices are eligible for insurance, and you must be a permanent UK resident with a UK billing address and be up to date with your Vodafone Airtime Plan payments. Additionally, any intentional act or omission by the customer or anyone acting on their behalf to wilfully damage, destroy, or misplace the device is not covered. This includes cases where the device has been knowingly put at risk or not taken care of, such as deliberate damage or cosmetic damage that does not affect the device's performance (e.g. dents and scratches).
For Apple devices, any claims for additional accessories that were not included in the box with the device are not eligible for AppleCare Services. It is important to note that Vodafone Insurance with AppleCare Services does not cover screen damage, iPads, laptops, or Apple Watches. Back glass repair is also not available for iPhone SE and models released prior to the iPhone 12.
Furthermore, Vodafone's insurance policy does not cover data, software, or games stored on the device, the usual Vodafone SIM, memory card, or any other storage media used with the device. The policy only covers the insured device(s) used with the specified Vodacom SIM Card listed on the attached policy schedule. Additionally, replacement devices can only be sent to a UK address, even though you are covered for trips worldwide.
