At least you don't have to get the card, call a special number, enter a code, write down a special secret code, call another number, then you get your credit.... I refuse to buy the cards here, the internet is so much easier.
Oh one other thing, Jaizaine, even if your not going to replace the phone on the 'insurance' make sure you get a new simcard for your contract. Many as flickad experienced will not cancel the contract if you no longer have access to the phone etc. This happened to a friend of mine as well. Phone got stollen, sim card tossed, and they still had to pay out the contract. All they had to do was buy a 2nd hand phone, and pay 20 bucks for the sim card, but they refused. So they paid a thousand or so they did not have to.
