FAQs about Mobile Phone Insurance in India
Why should you buy a mobile insurance for your old phone?
When a mobile phone gets older, the user becomes a little relaxed with it. And boom, the accidental damage happens! So, if you aren’t planning to buy a new mobile in the next 6 months, then it’s better to protect it with an old mobile insurance. And if you protect its screen, it should be good enough as it’s the one thing that’s most likely to get affected if an accident like dropping it from your hand, happens.
Why should you buy a mobile insurance for your new phone?
Oh of course, for new mobile phones, a new mobile phone insurance is a MUST. Firstly, new phones take time to get used to your hand or say vice versa which means if you have butter fingers and a new phone, you’re in for some damage. Secondly, a new mobile phone has a long life ahead so it makes it even more important to protect it well with a good new mobile insurance plan. Lastly you spend a fortune to buy a new phone, then some more to buy a screen guard then some more for a cover. Isn’t it more convenient to just buy a new phone insurance?
Does phone screen insurance cover screens damaged due to liquid?
Yes, Digit’s mobile phone insurance does cover screen damages caused due to liquid damages.
What’s your international coverage policy?
We cover your mobile phone no matter where you are in the world. All our processes are online anyway, which means your phone will always be protected no matter where the damage takes place.
Does phone insurance cover a crack screen?
Yes, Digit’s mobile phone insurance does cover for a crack screen. A crack screen is one of the most common accidental damages a phone goes through!
What does a mobile phone insurance cover?

Which is the best mobile insurance in India?
Honestly, this depends on what you’re looking for! Some of our unique benefits include protection against accidental screen damages and liquid damages that destroy your screen, worldwide coverage and super-quick online claims.
What if my friend has been using my phone and he/she breaks the screen? Will the mobile phone insurance still work?
Yes, your mobile insurance isn’t connected to you, but your phone’s IMEI. So, no matter who uses the mobile phone, it will be covered.
What if my kid breaks my phone? Will this mobile phone accidental damage insurance work?
Yes, your mobile insurance covers all accidental screen damages, no matter who is using it. This is because mobile insurance is connected to the IMEI of the mobile so that no matter who uses it or damages it, it will be covered.
Are phone warranties worth it?
A mobile phone warranty usually covers for any manufacturer related issues such as if your phone overheats or when the software is affected with bugs; in this case, a phone warranty comes in handy as mobile insurance can’t really cover these issues. Therefore, having both a mobile insurance and mobile phone warranty is worth it, as it covers you from bigger expenses that may arise due to damages to your phone!
When does my mobile protection start after buying insurance?
Once you’ve completed your payment, your internal and external mobile tests are verified by our team and your mobile insurance policy is sent to you online and that’s it! Your mobile phone insurance will be activated and protected from then onwards.
I bought a phone from an online ecommerce store 15 days back. Can I buy a new phone insurance now?

Are all brands covered in this phone insurance?
Yes, Digit’s Mobile Insurance covers all mobile brands such as Xiaomi, Honor, Google Pixel, Samsung, Vivo, Oppo, OnePlus, Nokia, Motorola, LG, Lenovo, Gionee and Huawei amongst others.
Can you insure a phone after its been broken?
No, preexisting damages aren’t covered in mobile insurance. Therefore, we recommend you get mobile insurance early, so that no matter what your mobile phone will always be covered.
Is it worth getting mobile phone insurance?
On an average, the cost of repairing a phone screen these days is at least 20 to 30% of its actual cost. So, for example if you’ve just got your OnePlus 7 for Rs 32,000. The cost to repair its screen in the case of a damage would cost you around Rs 8,940. On the other hand, a mobile insurance with Digit will barely cost you around Rs 500-600 and have you covered for any accidental screen damage that may come your way! Therefore, given the fact that a mobile insurance saves you almost 80% of your hard-earned money, it's definitely worth it 😊
How much does smartphone insurance cost?
