Who can help you switch your mobile?
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) oversees the regulation of financial products, and this covers mobile insurance. uSwitch Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Service Authority.
What is mobile insurance?
Mobile insurance cover is offered with some phone deals and is insurance cover to protect your phone against theft, loss and damage. As with all insurance products, the terms and conditions of each policy vary widely. You are advised to always read the terms and conditions to understand what is and not covered with each deal.
We are regulated by the financial services watchdog
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulates some mobile phone insurance cover. When using the uSwitch.com mobile comparison and switching service you will be shown deals that include mobile insurance which is covered by the FSA and deals which have either no insurance cover or insurance cover that is not regulated by the FSA. The deals that are not covered by the FSA will not include insurance and the deals that are covered will include insurance.
The difference between these two types of deals is limited to the inclusion or exclusion of insurance and the process in which you can complain.
