Just a two and a half hour flight and we were landing in Spain I reached in to my pocket and removed my mobile phone, as the seatbelt light had just gone out I decided to switch it on and change the time to the new time zone which was one hour in front of UK time. Just as I switched it on the captain announced over the intercom that mobile phones had to remain switched off until you were inside the terminal building, this was to comply with Spanish legislation. To avoid a telling off from one of the cabin staff, I quickly pounced on the on/off to switch the thing off!

This on/off button has caused me a problem a few times lately, when the power button is pressed, nothing happens, It was bound to be s*ds law that my mobile would be bound to blast out its loud ringtone any second! I decided rather than suffer the embarrassment of being caught with my phone on I would quickly pull off the rear cover and remove the battery!

Mobile Phone Insurance

Getting my finger nails under the corner of the battery I gave it a quick tug and the phone jumped out of my grip – after hitting the hard corner of the outer seat row that I was sitting on! Well at least the battery was out and the phone was now off, the battery was lying in the middle of the isle, just one row in front of me. I picked up the phone and the battery and started to place them together again. This was the moment I could see the screen was smashed on my phone! Now at this point I would normally have shouted a few words that I would not want my children to hear, but today that was not the case!

Quite simply as this was just the start of the holiday, a damaged mobile was not going to get me down! The fact was, I was actually grinning to myself about the misfortune of my N95, you see just three days before travelling, at the same time as purchasing some Travel Insurance I decided to purchase some Nokia Mobile Phone Insurance !

For as long as I have owned a mobile phone, insurance was never considered by me. But after being advised by my network provider that the replacement value was around £400 for this phone and being aware I was off to Spain for a couple of weeks of Sun, Sand, Sea and plenty of sangria I bit my lip and purchased some Mobile Insurance. I am so glad that my mobile phone was covered -just £6.00 a month and it’s saved me nearly £400 straight away!
