What's Next For Our Beloved Smartphones?

Not even as recently as two decades ago would we have believed the incredible capabilities that would soon be imagined with regards to a mobile phone. Once a heavy, clumpy contraption used by only the most important businessmen and women, now we have sleek, beautifully-crafted works of art, which we focus our lives around for instant worldwide communication and information.

Along came 3G then 4G, WiFi, advanced camera functionality, button-free touch screens, voice command, superb audio visual quality and millions of ‘apps’, from games to egg timers, speedometers to restaurant finders.

So where does it go from here? No sooner does one of the mobile phone giants release its most developed smartphone to date, is there talk and rumour of the next generation already in their final stages of development – ready to wow us with their latest gadgetry.

Word on the grapevine suggests that we’ll be treated to flawless augmented reality, stunningly flexible paper-thin screens, more developed 3D screens and holographic capabilities as well as in-built projectors. The question really is: when?

These innovative concepts have probably already been prototyped or possibly even ready to go into mass production, but the companies (naming no names) are extremely clever marketeers, perhaps even more so than they are actually building this technology. We will continue to be desperate for the latest and most exciting developments because our lives are so dependent on smartphones. Let’s just hope we don’t have to pay too bigger a price!

5 reasons to insure your boiler

5 reasons to insure your boiler

If you own your own home, taking care of your boiler should be top of your priority list. Keeping the boiler serviced, the pipes descaled, and watching out for low pressure will all keep the boiler working well.


Boiler insurance offers additional peace of mind. It usually covers all repairs that need to be carried out, and it usually also covers the cost of an annual service.


But why is boiler insurance so important?


Having No Hot Water is Miserable

Every busy family home needs hot water, day and night. There’s nothing worse than trying to wash your hair under a cold shower, or trying to clean the kids with a cold flannel or sponge.


In the winter, it’s a guaranteed way to catch a chill, too. How long could you live without your boiler if the worst happened?


If you’re insured, it’s highly unlikely that you’d be left without hot water in an emergency boiler breakdown.

Boiler Repairs Can Be Expensive

How much does a boiler repair cost? There’s no easy answer to this. But when you add up the cost of diagnosis, parts, and the engineer’s time to fix the problem, you could be looking at a four-figure bill.


When you consider the fact that a boiler back pack up literally overnight, it’s a massive amount of money to find with no notice at all.


A good insurance policy will cover you for as much as £5,000 in boiler repairs.

Winter Call-Outs are Slow and Costly

If you call out a boiler engineer as an emergency, you could pay them over one hundred pounds to look at your boiler at short notice. That’s not all; you could wait from a few hours to a few days before they actually show up.


It’s worth getting your boiler insured and serviced in the summer to avoid the long waiting times in the winter months. Your insurer will help you to arrange this.

Boiler Insurance Saves Time

Getting a broken boiler fixed can be a real chore. You’ll have to find out who’s available to look at the problem, and then hope that you’ve found a good engineer that isn’t a scammer.


With boiler insurance, you’ll normally be allocated a repair engineer from the insurer’s own approved team. So once you report the boiler fault to them, you can sit back and relax. Forget ringing around, comparing quotes, and asking for recommendations.

Boiler Insurance is More Affordable Than You Think

Boiler insurance doesn’t have to be expensive. Your cover will be priced based on your own personal circumstances, including your home and the model of boiler you have.


So if you’ve read online that it’s pricey, it’s still worth getting a quote that’s tailored to you, whether you’re a homeowner or a landlord.


Row.co.uk offer 24-hour emergency claims, and unlimited claims once you’re a customer. Parts and labour are included, and we don’t charge for call-outs once you’re insured with us. Prices start at £6.19 a month.
