There's basically 3 issues that tend to vary between them:
1) How much they pay out for a claim... some max at like 600 per claim, some as high as $1000 per claim... (there's also usually an annual cap if you have more than 1 claim). How much this matters to you varies by how expensive a phone you carry.
2) The deductible per claim, which is usually $25, $50, or $100. Obviously lower is better, but again the coverage max tends to be a bit lower on lower deductibles too, so might not be best depending on your phone.
3) The opportunity cost of paying you bill with that card. For example the Ink Cash gives you 5x chase points... which most folks would consider "worth" on the very lowest end 7.5-10% cash back on your cell bill (higher - as high was maybe 25% cash back equivalent) for folks who make premium travel redemptions. Is it worth giving that up for the insurance on a card that might only be returning 1-2% cash back equivalent on the bill? Probably, but it's worth checking the #s for your specific situation.
(and of course if the card has a big annual fee, you'd be nuts to pay it for JUST this benefit since there's free cards that even with lower coverage would still be better in almost all cases... but if it's a card you are gonna pay the fee for ANYWAY that's another story).
Personally I put my cell bill on a Citi Prestige these days, as it's a premium card I was going to keep anyway for other benefits, and they offer the highest single-claim coverage ($1000, with deductible a reasonable $50) and I've got an expensive phone... but YMMV depending on your situation.
also it says you have to pay your bill with it. you will lose your 10 dollar discount for auto pay won't you for using your credit card instead of bank account/debt?

Verizon says you lose the $10 discount if you pay via CC, but I've never actually tried it.
Anybody with Verizon using a CC and still getting the $10 auto pay discount?

Should be fine most people use a credit/debit card for auto pay.
