Complete your Condition Check to validate your phone and reduce your excess

It's quick and easy! Click on the button below and select "Manage my mobile policy" and "Validate my phone" then just follow the simple steps provided.

‍

Once completed, we will review your details and reduce your excess if the phone is successfully validated.

‍

Note your excess will be higher until you have successfully validated your phone using our Condition Check.

‍

What if the validation fails?

‍

If the validation fails, it means that either we couldn't see the picture clearly or that the phone screen is showing damage.

‍

If your phone is damaged, we will need to cancel your policy as we cannot cover phones that already have damage.

‍

If we can't see the picture clearly, you will get an invalid notification with feedback on what went wrong. You would then need to try again, make sure you are in a brightly lit room and your mirror and your phone's lens is clean.

How do I find out the IMEI of my mobile phone?

The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identification) is a unique identification code specific to your mobile phone. It is not your phone number. It is a code that is unique to each handset.

‍

This means that if you change your mobile phone, even to the same make and model, you need to Contact Us. The new phone is not automatically covered under your policy.

‍

For Android users:

‍

The easiest way to find your phone's IMEI number is to simply dial *#06# if you're on an Android device. If you're still having trouble, then you should be able to find it in Settings > About phone > Status > IMEI informationIf requested by support, you can take a screenshot on most Android phones by holding the volume down and the power buttons for 1-2 seconds. The screen should flash, and the photo can be found in your photos app.

‍

For Apple users:

‍

You will find your IMEI by going to Settings > General > About - and take screenshots. You will need to scroll down to see your IMEI number. IMEI number can also be found by simply dialing *#06#.

If I change my phone to a new phone, what do I need to do?

Your new phone isn't automatically covered by your policy, even if it's the same make and model as the phone listed on your Policy Schedule.

So if you get a new phone, you'll need you update your phone through your online account

Don't forget, you'll also need to complete the Condition Check for your new phone, otherwise the higher excess on your Policy Schedule will apply to that phone.

I bought a used phone. Can I still insure it with SO-SURE?

Yes, we can insure second-hand phones provided they are in full working condition, without any damage.

‍

Just remember, we only insure phones where the original manufacturer sold that model in the United Kingdom.

Can I purchase a policy for someone else, like my child or partner?

Right now, we can't cover devices for children or anyone under the age of 18.

‍

You may purchase a policy on someone's behalf if they are 18 years or over, with their explicit consent. However, the person listed on the Policy Schedule must be the primary owner and user of the device.

‍

Should circumstances change, please contact our Support Centre.
