I opted not to expose myself to a risk that the insurance companies consider "uninsurable."
did you ever think that they find it uninsurable because there is no corolation between cell phone usage and health problems. in other words, maybe they fear that offering the insurance would cause claims to be made. even when the insurance company denies a claim it costs them money especialy when the courts get involved.

I voted none, because I recently turned off my cell phone for good. (It was a basic model, by the way.)
After reading accounts of US cell phone carriers being denied liability insurance in the wake of health concerns around cell usage, I opted not to expose myself to a risk that the insurance companies consider "uninsurable."
If the insurance companies don't want part of the action, that's enough to scare me --- it's like rats jumping off the ship.
