Nowadays, our gadgets are an incredibly important part of our lives and we’re rarely without at least one of them, such as a phone in our pocket or a smartwatch on our wrist. So, how would you feel if you had to go without?

As Christmas is fast approaching, we’re sure a lot of you have asked Santa for some new tech, right? But with the excitement of opening presents and wanting to make the most of our new goodies, the thought of protecting them can often slip our minds.

However, we all know that accidents happen or that our beloved items can end up lost or even stolen, and we also know just how expensive these items can be to repair or replace. So it might not seem like to most fun thing to do, but it certainly is worthwhile to take a few minutes and consider whether you could benefit from protecting them.

Gadget Cover is designed to help you in events such as theft, loss, accidental damage and mechanical breakdown where the item is out of warranty.

If you’re wondering whether it’s worth getting Gadget Cover, consider the following…

Could you comfortably afford to replace or repair your gadgets?

Nobody anticipates having to spend that amount of money, and as prices for necessities such as food and petrol continue to rise, many people have less disposable income to spend on the unexpected.

Have your gadgets been lost, stolen or accidentally damaged in the past?

We’ve all had that moment of panic when our phone isn’t in our bag or we’ve accidentally broken our laptop that’s no longer covered by warranty, so if you want to avoid getting stung again then Gadget Cover could be the answer.

Do you use your gadgets on the go?

Are you a frequent traveller and keep your boarding passes on your phone? Or perhaps you regularly use your morning commute to catch up on emails (not whilst driving, of course)? If you use your gadgets a lot whilst on the go, then you’re probably at a higher risk of something happening to them, so it might be worth saving yourself some stress by getting them covered.

There are many reasons why Gadget Cover can benefit you and your household, so take a moment to think about just how much you use your gadgets and how being without them would affect you.

If you’re a One Call customer and you’re interested in getting Gadget Cover, you can do this by logging in to your customer portal.

Keep in mind that circumstances such as being careless with your items, or being unable to prove ownership, could affect your ability to claim, so it’s important to read your policy documents thoroughly to ensure that the cover is right for you.
