I bought a Huawei P30 Pro 7 months ago and immediately took out insurance because I break almost every cell phone I own. When I took out the insurance, there were no problems. I can no longer remember presenting the receipt. Now I have reported damage to the insurance company, but now they want to see the proof of purchase that I have misplaced and can no longer find. What does the insurance need the receipt for and is it urgently needed?
For the current value
The insurance company needs the receipt because it shows the IMEI number that your cell phone has. Otherwise you could e.g. Give the insurance company a cell phone from a friend who would send you a new one.
Value
Well, the proof of purchase is the new value… And this is about the IMEI number.
Yes and they have cool tables where they can read the current value from the time that you can calculate with the proof of purchase.
No proof of purchase is required for the current value of a cell phone. If you e.g. On eBay, the prices of Huawei P30 pro sold that were in a similar condition can be seen without proof of purchase.
According to me
