If you get an email from Android about Phone insurance, would you send your information to get insurance if you have an iPhone?
Yes of course all of the cell phone companies work together, so Android reaching out to you is equivalent to Apple wanting money for iPhone insurance
Never send personal information over email like credit card information. Also if you have an iPhone you would never pay insurance or anything for Android, so for iPhone insurance you should contact Apple.
