FAQs

Do I have to pay your price?

No. You pay whatever you want when you purchase a used mobile phone to sell on to us. The less you pay the more money you can make. Our prices include a commission for you plus you can then make additional cash by paying less than the quoted value e.g. if we quote £100 then you earn your commission plus if you pay £90 then your total profit will be in excess of £10.

Can you offer a value for a mobile phone that is damaged/faulty?

Yes. We can offer a value for a mobile phone that is damaged/faulty. We expect the phone to be used, scratched and generally having the appearance of a phone 12-24 months old. What we are not expecting is a phone that does not power up, has a broken screen or is water damaged.

Once we have received and tested a mobile phone we will make an offer. In general over 90% of all mobile phones traded in with us do meet our terms and conditions. For the other we make offers of up to 70% of the full value. If we are unable to offer you a value for your handset we will be more than happy to recycle it for you free of charge.

Unfortunately we cannot be held responsible for damage sustained in transit.

What do you mean by the phone must be in full working order?

  • The phone must be free from water damage
  • The phone must switch on and off
  • The phone must make a test call
  • The display must be fully functional
  • No pixels missing
  • No cracks or bleeding
  • Touch-screens should be free from major scratching
  • All the buttons on the keypad must work
  • Any other functionality must work e.g. Bluetooth, Camera, Wireless
  • If you are at all in doubt we advise you to contact us first before sending in your phone.

What about stolen phones?
