Three’s Rescue Remedy
Three has today extended the choices available as part of its RescueTM device insurance plan, by adding a new lower priced ‘damage cover’ option for customers.
Losing or breaking your phone can be distressing, especially when it can often hold precious photos, memories and personal or financial information. With Three Rescue™, you can get your life back in just 24 hours**.
While Three continues to offer a full cover service to customers who want the reassurance of being protected against loss and theft as well as damage of their device, its introduced a ‘Damage Cover’ tier that has a lower monthly premium and claim excess fee.
The ‘Damage Cover’ plans will start at just £2 per month with £20 claim excess fee. Full cover plans begin at £3 per month with £30 excess fee, depending on the make and model of the device*.
With Three Rescue™, you can rest easy knowing that your device is protected against a whole range of risks. A summary of what’s covered by the two plans are as follows:

ToM Malleschitz, chief marketing officer at Three, said: “Insurance is a grey area for customers who are often unsure if it’s a wise additional investment that justifies the extra outlay. By expanding the choice of insurance plans on offer, we aim to make it an easier decision for people to safeguard against common incidents such as breaking the screen which can be very costly to replace otherwise.”
