What is cellphone insurance and why do you need it in South Africa?
South Africa has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates on the continent, and our phones are getting pricier every year. Flagship devices regularly cost upwards of R20,000, and even mid-range smartphones sit well above R5,000. Replacing or repairing a damaged phone out of pocket is a significant expense that most of us would rather avoid.
Cellphone insurance covers the financial cost of repairing or replacing your device when the unexpected happens. Without it, you’re footing the full bill yourself, which can mean months of saving just to get back to where you started.
- Portable possessions cover
- An insurance product that covers personal items you carry with you away from home, such as cellphones, laptops, cameras, and jewellery, against risks like theft, accidental damage, and loss.
