However, not all insurers allow this option. Many people choose not to insure their device at the time of purchase to avoid additional expense, but by the time an incident occurs, it is too late. At that point, many shops and operators no longer offer the possibility of taking out insurance.<br \/>\n<section class=\"vc_cta3-container animacion-vc ai-play-skip\">\n    <div class=\"ai-play-skip cta_general vc_general vc_do_cta3 vc_cta3 CAT-VC vc_cta3-style-classic vc_cta3-shape-rounded vc_cta3-align-left vc_cta3-color-white vc_cta3-icon-size-xl vc_cta3-icons-left vc_cta3-actions-right wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeInDown fadeInDown vc_custom_canallas wpb_start_animation animated\">\n        <div class=\"vc_cta3-icons\">\n            <div class=\"vc_icon_element vc_icon_element-outer vc_do_icon vc_icon_element-align-left\">\n                <div class=\"vc_icon_element-inner vc_icon_element-color-white vc_icon_element-size-xl vc_icon_element-style- vc_icon_element-background-color-grey\" style=\"margin-right:10px;\">\n                    <!-- span class=\"fas fa-shield-alt icono-seguro\"><\/span -->\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lawebdeseguros.com\/img\/logo_solo.svg\" alt=\"Logo\" style=\"width: 70px;\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"vc_cta3_content-container\">\n            <div class=\"vc_cta3-content\">\n                <header class=\"vc_cta3-content-header\">\n                    <p class=\"cta-heading h2\">Protect your phone or tablet from unforeseen events<\/p>\n                <\/header>\n                <p class=\"cta_general cta-heading h3\">We help you choose the ideal insurance for your devices, with real coverage and no small print.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"vc_cta3-actions\">\n                <div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-inline\">\n                    <a class=\"cta_general vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-flat vc_btn3-color-green\" href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=34659929495&#038;text=Protege+tu+m%C3%B3vil+o+tablet+frente+a+imprevistos\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"ga_whatsapp\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                        <i class=\"fab fa-whatsapp\"><\/i> Request free advice                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFQue_cubre_un_seguro_para_moviles_y_tabletas\"><\/span>What does insurance cover for mobiles and tablets?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Electronic devices, such as phones and tablets, represent a considerable investment. While some home insurance policies may cover theft inside the home and even on the street under certain conditions, they do not usually cover accidental damage such as falls, spills or breakdowns. For that, there are specific insurances that offer a more complete protection against situations such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Falls or blows.<\/li>\n<li>Damage from liquids or electrical surges.<\/li>\n<li>Theft or loss (depending on conditions).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFMerece_la_pena_contratar_un_seguro_para_el_movil\"><\/span>Is it worth taking out mobile phone insurance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The high rate of theft and damage to mobile devices justifies taking out insurance, especially if you are looking to protect an important investment. Although the premium may be higher if comprehensive coverage is desired, it is still a recommendable option against the risk of being left without a device and without the possibility of repair or replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Some home insurance policies include some coverage for mobile phones, but these are often limited and do not cover cases such as theft or accidental loss. This is why taking out a specific insurance policy may be the only way to obtain comprehensive protection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCuando_es_el_mejor_momento_para_contratarlo\"><\/span>When is the best time to hire?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is most common to insure the device at the time of purchase, especially if it is purchased through a phone operator. Some insurances can only be taken out within the first few days of purchase. However, there are also products that allow the device to be insured weeks or even months later, especially in the case of unlocked or non-brokered phones.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opciones_disponibles_segun_el_operador\"><\/span>Options available depending on the operator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seguro_de_movil_de_Orange\"><\/span>Orange mobile insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This insurance is brokered by Plus Ultra and AIG Europe. It can only be taken out within 30 days of purchase. It includes an excess for replacements, and breakdowns are covered at no additional cost. Full details can be found in their general conditions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seguro_de_movil_de_Vodafone\"><\/span>Vodafone mobile insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vodafone offers several types of insurance, all managed by ACE European Group. In most cases, insurance must be taken out at the time of purchase of the device.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seguro_de_movil_de_Movistar\"><\/span>Movistar mobile insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Movistar allows the insurance to be taken out on the same day of purchase or during the first 15 days. Coverage is limited to one claim per warranty per year.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seguro_de_movil_de_Phone_House\"><\/span>Phone House mobile phone insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Phone House offers two levels of cover: Geek Squad Essential and Geek Squad Total. Both products are backed by the insurance company Aviva. They allow you to insure your device with different coverage depending on the plan chosen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFY_si_ya_no_puedo_asegurarlo_con_mi_operador\"><\/span>What if I can no longer insure it with my operator?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is not a problem. There are insurers that allow insurance even if the device is several months old or was not insured at the time of purchase. Some products on the market allow you to insure handsets that are less than 12 months old.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aspectos_clave_al_contratar_un_seguro_para_movil\"><\/span>Key aspects when taking out mobile phone insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you decide, consider these essential factors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Number of claims covered per year<\/strong>Some insurances cover one, others several or one for each type of damage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Franchises<\/strong>Most include an excess which may vary according to the coverage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start of coverage<\/strong>if the device is not new, a grace period may apply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replacement or compensation<\/strong>The usual situation is that a similar device in terms of features and age is offered, not financial compensation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessories<\/strong>Accessories are generally not covered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>International coverage<\/strong>If you are travelling, check whether the insurance is valid outside the country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Various devices<\/strong>Some policies allow more than one terminal to be included, although this is not the most common.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_message_box vc_message_box-standard vc_message_box-rounded vc_color-warning\" ><div class=\"vc_message_box-icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><\/div><p>Please contact <a href=\"https:\/\/lawebdeseguros.com\/en\/contact\/\"><strong>contact with us<\/strong><\/a> and we will advise you on the best option for you.
