Buy refurbished phone

moonpenny

Does anyone have any advice on the best place to buy a re-furbished SIM free unlocked smart phone?
I like Samsung and would like "like new" with no contract.

I've previously bought two from Music Magpie and very pleased with them, just as described

I bought my iPhone from Giffgaff, it was only about a month old and like brand new when it arrived, I was even able to still add AppleCare.

I've  looked at Giffgaff but was put off because you have to buy one of their contracts.

It's a tenner, you never have to use the SIM and there's no contract.

Backmarket seem to get good reviews. I've never bought from them, but I sold my old phone to them:

Last phone I bought from GiffGaff on eBay had the battery health level below what I was happy with so returned and refunded no problem.
