    recommend travel insurance that covers for lost or stolen possessions.

    Basically, me and family went travelling to UK and had bought AXA travel insurance. Unfortunately we had to make a claim for 2 stolen iphones. they cost over 17HKD together. But AXA is only going to pay 2K for each phone
    is there an insurance company that pays the value of possessions lost, in this case mobile phones. So we will be 'covered' going on next holiday.

    There is usually a maximum limit for phones because many people are very careless with them.

    If you can't keep your phones safe buy a cheap one and take that with you for your holiday.

    Home contents coverage would typically cover you, but in the case of stolen phones you would likely need to have police report.

    Sucks man, be extra careful with your belongings while traveling

    if i am an insurance company i wld likely cap my payment for phones as well, it is so easy for a tourist to bring his phone along sell it to a 2nd hand collector and claim lost..

    i concur with the suggestion, just buy a 2k HKD android phone and use for your trips.
