    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.

    Immaculate reconditioned phone and brilliant customer care

    I wanted to buy a reconditioned phone as a birthday present for my wife and found the exact model I was after in "pristine" condition on The Big Phone Store website.

    Because I was working to a tight birthday deadline, I called their customer service team to discuss the various delivery options available. The lady I spoke to was extremely friendly, helpful, and reassuring, which gave me total confidence to go ahead with the purchase.

    I ordered the phone online, and true to their word, it arrived the next day! I gifted it to my wife a couple of days later, and she is absolutely delighted with it.

    Based on my seamless experience from start to finish, I would have no hesitation in recommending The Big Phone Store to anyone considering buying a refurbished device. Thank you for making her birthday extra special!

    Good, will buy again

    Amazing experience, got a 12 Mini in very good condition with the battery upgrade, works flawlessly, cosmetically its really good, just a few small specks but nothing to fuss about! Delivery was fast, next day on a Saturday, phone line customer service was really helpful, and the prices are unbeatable, especially for only a tenner for a new battery on a 12 mini! Definitely going to purchase from here again sooner or later!
