    Just make sure you actually need this insurance. Most home insurance policies will cover phones as well, accidental damage/loss cover is usually an additional option though...
    edit:

    Huh?

    From your own link...
    A recent survey by the National Consumer Agency found that five of the nine home insurance companies in the market refused to provide cover for the loss of laptops and smart phones.

    Anywho, does anyone recommend gadgetinsurance.ie? from what i've read here, theft cover is not very clear

    I am with meteor and can get them to insure my iPhone 5 for €10 a month. gadgetinsurance.ie is much less than that and covers 1 smartphone and 4 devices

    Anyone use meteor's insurance? Worth it? I want to get some kind of insurance, definites for me on the policy are accidental damage, theft and a fairly low excess

    Yeah realised that as well. Thing is I found that link a day after I posted so didn't change what I originally wrote.
    Anyway I still think that if you have a good home insurance policy with -optional- accidental cover with cover for items outside the house you will be covered (mine does). I think the article refers to standard policies.
    Realised there's another problem though; if you need to make a relatively small claim on your home policy for just loss/theft of your phone, this would affect your no-claims/policy renewal so it might end up costing you...
