Hi all
Just bought a Nexus S and would like it insured, who do you use for yours

Lloyds Silver Current Account for mine. Something like £7.50 a month for phone insurance, AA cover and travel insurance.

Lloyds TSB - Added Value Accounts - I have a joint Plat Ac. So you and yours for the price of one.

I put mine on my contents insurance. worked out at 3.33 a month for smartphone insurance.

Another Lloyds customer here. The Silver account is well worth it for the insurance and other cover you're entitled to.

Problem with the lloyds one is that I have a HSBC Graduate account atm and the free overdraft that comes with it is handy to have (well.. not so much since interest rates on ISAs have been turd!).

I think my dad has a lloyds account, but the fact that he lives on t'other side of the country probably excludes me from adding my phone to it!

Will checkout the other links, cheers people

Does not compute?

I'm with HSBC as well and I literally became a Lloyds customer for the silver account. I've got a DD set up to transfer the £7.50 across every month and other than that I don't touch it.

yeah you don't need to use the account. However i do as lloyds currently offer 4% interest on balances between 5k - 7k which is a lot better than most isa and savings accounts

Mine is on my house insurance, and came included, any non specific item up to £1000 iirc, might be worth checking yours first.

I presumed that there'd be stipulations of X amount of money etc coming into the account (ie wages). If not, then I'll look into again. Cheers

no there is no rules, because you are paying for the service. i think for the first 3 months u get it half price.

I'm doing the same, but through the Co-operative Privilege Premier joint account rather than with Lloyds TSB. I actually moved from Lloyds to Co-op about a year ago.
