You won’t be out of the loop for long

If your phone’s lost, stolen or damaged, we want to help you get it sorted, as quickly as we can, wherever you are in the world.

To start a claim, call us on 0345 030 3290* or make a claim online

Your replacement phone

If you’re in mainland Great Britain you’ll get a replacement phone the next day if your claim’s approved by 8:30pm Monday to Friday or by 2:30pm at weekends, not including bank holidays. Otherwise, your replacement will be delivered within two days.

How to get covered

It’s easy – when you buy your new phone or upgrade, you can buy Tesco Mobile Protect at the same time. It’s available on most of our pay monthly phones. Just so you know, you can’t buy it after your contract’s started.                                                          

Cover to suit you

Choose the level of cover that suits your needs and your budget.

Full cover protects you if your phone’s lost, stolen or damaged.

If you only want cover for damage, then choose damage cover.

Tesco Mobile Protect doesn’t cover

  • Your excess fee
  • Accessory only claims
  • Accessories other than the battery, mains charger, and hands-free kit that came in the box with your handset.
  • Any fault with your phone during the manufacturer’s warranty period
  • A third or subsequent claim in any 12 month period – we’ll cancel your policy if you’ve made two successful claims in any 12 month period
  • Cosmetic damage (your phone still works as normal)
  • Damage caused by making alterations to the phone
  • Any problems caused by acting against manufacturer guidelines
  • Costs of calls, texts, data or downloads between your phone going missing and your SIM card being blocked. To check everything that is and isn’t covered, have a read through the Tesco Mobile Protect terms and Conditions

However, if it’s just light cosmetic damage and your phone still works as normal, you won’t be able to make a claim.

We’ll do all we can to get a replacement phone to you the next day. To get next day delivery, you need to be in mainland Great Britain when you make your claim and it needs to be approved by 8.30pm Monday to Friday or by 2.30pm at weekends. Otherwise, your replacement will be delivered within two days.

If we don’t get the replacement phone to you when we said we would, and it’s not because of bank holidays or situations out of our control, we’ll give you £15 to say sorry. Our terms and conditions have a full explanation of how this works.

You’ll have 15 days to send your damaged phone back to us in the prepaid packaging that we’ll send to you. If we don’t get it back within 15 days, we’ll charge you a non-return fee, based on the value of the damaged phone. You can get this fee refunded though, if you send the phone back to us after the 15 days is up.

Absolutely! All replacement devices come with a 24 month warranty. To find out more, give us a call on 0345 030 3290*.

No, your replacement phone won’t come with any accessories unless they were lost or damaged as part of the incident being claimed for. For example, if your headphones were stolen along with your phone, then we’ll replace them too.

In most cases it will be a like-for-like replacement. However, it sometimes happens that the phone isn’t available anymore. In this case we’ll send you a phone as close as possible to the make and model of the original. For example, if you claim for a Samsung Galaxy S6, if we can’t get you another one, we may send you a Samsung Galaxy S7 instead.

You can cancel your policy any time you like by logging into our self-service portal and selecting ‘cancel plan’ or by  calling 0345 030 3290*.

Your cover will continue until the end of the month you’ve just paid for. If you cancel within 28 days of starting your policy, then no payment will be taken, as long as you haven’t made a claim.

If you’ve got more than one number on your account, you can each choose a free monthly Family Perk. To get money off Tesco Mobile Protect, you need to choose this as your Family Perk at the time when you buy your phone – it won’t be available after that. You’ll get money off your premium every month unless you change your Family Perk. Please bear in mind that, unlike other Family Perks, if you swap it for another one, you can’t choose money off Tesco Mobile Protect again.

The amount you get off your premium depends on how much your monthly tariff is. If you change your tariff up or down, then the amount you’ll save each month may change. It can take up to two months for this to show on your bill.

Unfortunately not, you’ll only be able to choose the money off Tesco Mobile Protect Family Perk when you start a new contract or upgrade with us.

Money off Tesco Mobile Protect is different from the other Family Perks because you can only choose it when you buy your phone. If you decide to change it for another Family Perk, you won’t be able to change it back again. It can take up to two months for this to show on your bill.

The amount you get off your premium depends on how much your monthly tariff is. So if you change your tariff up or down, the amount you’ll save each month may change. It can take up to two months for this to show on your bill.

Yes, you’ll get exactly the same discount, whether you choose Full cover or Damage cover.
