Applies to Full Cover and Damage Cover:
We will not replace your device if it is damaged:
deliberately by you, an authorised user or anyone acting on the instructions of you or an authorised user
while being repaired by someone not authorised by us
by an alteration or modification to any internal parts or to the operating system (such as it being unlocked to operate on another network)
by dents, scratches or other marks that do not stop it working normally
In addition, for Full Cover:
We will not replace your lost/stolen device if:
you or an authorised user knowingly leave it in a place where you can’t see it but others can
you do not report the theft to the police (local police, if abroad) and do not obtain a report or a crime reference number
you or an authorised user knowingly leave it on display in an unattended vehicle
you or an authorised user leave it in an unoccupied building, where the windows are not closed and doors are left unlocked
We will not pay any claim for accessories, other than charging accessories supplied by the manufacturer in the box with your device and that are lost, stolen or accidentally damaged as result of an incident that leads to a successful claim for your device.
Full Cover or Damage Cover will continue for a maximum period of 60 months (five years), unless you cancel your insurance or contract, or upgrade your contract. When you are near the end of the 60-month period, we’ll contact you to let you know.
Your Full Cover or Damage Cover will also be automatically cancelled if you upgrade your contract or move to a SIM Only plan. If you would like to insure your new device, you will need to repurchase insurance. If you move to a SIM Only plan, we may be able to offer you insurance on your device.
To discuss your options:
call 150 from your EE phone
or call 07953 966 250 from any other phone
If you chose to take Full Cover or Damage Cover at the same time you upgraded or took out a new plan, you can cancel your insurance at any time with no additional fees or charges. We will refund the part of the total monthly insurance payment paid onto your next Airtime Plan bill, from the date we receive your cancellation instructions.
If you cancel within 14 days of receiving your policy documents you will receive a full refund, unless you have made a successful claim. After the 14 day period, we will refund the part of the monthly premium paid onto your next Airtime Plan bill, from the date we receive your cancellation instructions.
How do I make a complaint about insurance?
How do I make a complaint about insurance?
Our aim is to get it right first time, every time. If you have a complaint we will try to resolve it straight away. If we are unable to, we will confirm we have received your complaint within five working days and do our best to resolve the problem within four weeks. If we cannot, we will let you know when an answer may be expected.
If we have not resolved the situation within eight weeks, we will issue you with information about the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), which offers a free, independent complaint resolution service.

You have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman, free of charge – but you must do so within six months of the date of the final response letter.
If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and therefore will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances. For example, if the Ombudsman believes that the delay was as a result of exceptional circumstances.
You can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service in the following ways:
