Stolen note 8 phone

This is where Pineapple Insurance come in you can set the value etc... Of your phone, in fact their App detected my phone and asked me if I wanted to insure it.

Why do I need to set a value when it's already covered.

When I got the new phones I sent the invoice to my broker and she replied saying no need to specify, it's automatically covers on your policy already.

Silly to pay someone else for the same thing you getting for free, that also creates a second problem, as the phones is automatically insured, should I insure it with pineapple, I pay them 100% of the premium and they are liable for 50% of the cover.

I literally have 3 phones, fully covered on my policy without specifying them. No logical reason to then go and insure them seperately with someone else to pay more and gain nothing.

Sounds like you are already sorted then, so you didn't actually need them

Of course you can, you know how easy it is to unlock them and even replace the IMEI.

Don't know about iPhones, but most Android devices have an engineer mode where you can change the IMEI. It is a common problem with custom rom's that the IMEI number/s are wiped and you need to re-enter them.

Engineer mode is a number like this: *#*#3646633#*#* (Doogee but works on some other devices too)

I feel your pain. I lost my 3 month old S8+ sometime in 2016 and it was such a bummer that I couldn't pin point where it was. And even worse, I went to SAPS with the intention of showing them the last location of the phone so they can help me get it but all they said was, because the phone fell and was not stolen from me. They cannot do anything but help me fill out a form to claim from insurance. An unfortunate thing since I did not have insurance. The one neat feature Samsung has is the ability to lock your phone from switching off unless the battery dies. But a futile feature if you are relying on the SAPS
