    Yes you could do that. But not legally. It would be fraudulent misrepresentation.

    Uncle's right. Try your household insurance.

    Check it is not insured with your Bank. If you have Advantage Gold with Natwest or a similar account that you pay a monthly fee for with another bank the chances ae you have phone insurance with your bank account. Although the excess is usually quite high (about £50) this is offset by the fact that you dont ever have to pay for seperate insurance. Some accounts you also get free Travel Insurance and breakdown cover. Check they won't make apoint of telling you!!!!!!

    Be honest and just buy a new one? I'm fed up paying extra premiums to cover the costs of fraudulent claims.

    Yes you can claim for a valid loss on your household policy BUT..... and there is always one of them I did just that with water damage to an iphone. Quite how you get water damage to an i phone I have no idea, must be all those calls I make in the swimming pool!. The issue now is premium renewal, our premium has been bumped up ten percent, looked around and oh! you made a claim, well that is now 2 in 5 years, sorry do not want to know. All very well having Insurance for 30 odd years, you make a claim wether it be 'no fault' or small, a claim is a claim these days.

    And a friend had a flash flood in the garage, and damaged a running machine, and the 'flood damage' means that he cannot get cover at the top of shooters hill, that well known flood plain, 200 feet above the Thames! Insurance companies don't you just love em!
