    Best battery deal of any refurb seller I checked

    I did a lot of homework before buying. I compared Back Market, CeX, giffgaff, Reboxed and a few others, and The Big Phone Store came out on top for two reasons. They guarantee 85% minimum battery health rather than the 80% everyone else quotes, and you can add a brand new battery at checkout for a sensible price. That last bit is what sold it. There's no point buying a refurbished phone if the battery is already worn out.

    Ordered an iPhone 14 Plus 128GB with the new battery. It turned up quickly and the condition was exactly as described. The grading is honest, which isn't something you can take for granted with refurbished tech. Phone is in great shape, battery is like new, and it was straightforward from start to finish.

    And to top it off, you get a prompt personal reply when you get in touch rather than a canned response three days later. Here's looking at you, Sarah! ;)

    A proper refurbished phone at a proper price. Very happy, and I'd buy from them again.

    Hi Daniel,

    Thank you for taking the time to share such a comprehensive review.

    It's great to hear you did your homework and found us to be the best choice, especially regarding our battery health guarantee. We truly believe everyone should have great battery performance, which is why we guarantee a minimum of 85%+ battery health with all our refurbished devices, and offer the brand new battery upgrade option at cost price.

    I'm also glad your iPhone 14 Plus arrived quickly and that its condition was exactly as described. We put all our refurbished devices through extensive certified checks to ensure they are 100% functional and accurately graded, as honesty in grading is important to us.

    And it's brilliant to hear you experienced our prompt, personal customer service – Sarah will be thrilled with your shout-out! We pride ourselves on having real people available to help, not just canned responses.

    We're really happy you're pleased with your purchase and would buy from us again. That's the best compliment we can get.

    One more thing, don’t forget your old phone! We buy phones working or not. Simply follow the instructions included with your order and send it back using the same packaging.

    Many Thanks,

    I’m also really pleased to hear about the fast delivery and that you're so happy with our service.

    Highly Recommended

    Bought two phones from the big phone store now and both have been excellent and exactly as described. Both ordered in pristine condition. Wouldnt have known they were not brand new. Had both with new batteries and both arrived with brand new batteries. Arrived quickly, well packaged and secure. Would definitely recommend this company and they will be my first choice when I next need a phone. Well done.

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for your review.

    It’s fantastic to hear you've bought two phones from us and both were excellent and exactly as described in pristine condition. We work hard to make sure our cosmetic grading is accurate, and it's great you wouldn't have known they weren't brand new.

    I’m also pleased to hear the new battery upgrades arrived as expected with truly brand new batteries. We offer this upgrade at cost price because we know how important battery life is.

    Fast, well-packaged, and secure delivery is what we aim for, so I'm glad that was your experience too. Your recommendation and decision to make us your first choice for future phones mean a lot to us.

    Turn your old phone into cash instead of leaving it in a drawer. We take phones working or not. Follow the instructions with your order and reuse the packaging to send yours back.

    Excellent customer service

    What an excellent company and customer service. I bought the Huawei pro 30 from them. It came packaged well and included a free case and accessories. A pleasant suprise. The mobile was like brand new. Unfortunately the battery was only lasting an hour. I informed them and sent it back. They replaced the battery and also provided a screen protector free of charge for the inconvenience. I've got my mobile back and the battery is lasting well now. Fantastic company

    Do not recommend

    Do not recommend, on their website they give you a price for your phone, even a price for broken ones then when they receive it they give you £5 and if you disagree you have to lay £25 to get your phone back.... STAY AWAY....

    Hi Harry, thank you for your review.

    I'm glad to hear you were both surprised and happy to receive the full price for your trade-in. We know how frustrating it is when some sellers quote one price, only to reduce it later. That's why we’ve designed our system to give you an accurate price upfront. As long as you describe your device honestly, the price we offer is the price we pay, simple as that. We want you to sell with confidence.
