Default Getting my mobile fixed

My phone went tits up last night, I can send it home, get it fixed and sent back again, but its a pain - the screen is all over the place, needs sorted - I would get a new one but I'm waiting till I go back in 6 weeks and get an iPhone,

but I have insurance on this phone so don't really want to NOt get it fixed, if you know what I mean,

where can I get it looked at over here?

my kids jump (or get pushed according to them) into the pool all the time with their phones in their pockets and they always still work afterwards...thankfully cause it would have cost us a fortune by now if they had not...

Surely you would have to send it back to the uk if your insurance is there??
You would have to pay here unless you bought it here??
Happened to one my hubby's phones they gave him a new one in the end as could not fix it.

What are these Iphones?? what is so special about them????

yeah, send it home, they'll collect it and fix it and send it back, then I'll have to get it send back to me here - probably cost loads.
