Best place to buy refurbished mobile phones ?

sparkiemalarkie

Hi I'm looking to replace my broken Samsung mobile and with a Galaxy S10+
Where's the best place to look for a 2nd hand refurbished phone...?
I've seen it on Back Market for a fair price and wonder if anyone has any experience with this company/site?

I bought mine fron a gadget shop - OK a Sony but £69 and does all I want! How about an iPhone from the refurbished Apple shop?

Thanks for the reply,,,
I've set my sights on the Samsung Galaxy S10+
it's the format that I'm familiar with and just want an easy transition from my broken phone to something similar.

Thanks for the suggestions though

Amazon is always worth a look.

Bought two from there from different sellers, no issues whatsoever.

Hi,

if you do go for Samsung they have an easy transfer tool, HERE.

It's worth checking CEX - their prices can be a bit strange though, but they do include a warranty.

I've used SmartFoneStore in the past with good results:

Back Market sell nothing your buying from a 3rd party.   Just checked one of the cheaper S10+ phones for sale
and trust pilot reviews rate that seller a scammer.  Three Five star reviews from people with zero other reviews and
many negative reviews from people who have left lots of reviews so the reviews seem mostly genuine.

Enough for me to avoid buying from them. Do your homework.

Look at Giff gaff refurbished phones, I have had 2 and their condition was better than I expected.
