Pocket the difference on a refurb deal

We all know the main benefit of choosing a refurbished smartphone is to save some cash. You can expect cheaper monthly line rental, or less to pay up front, and get the latest tech in your pocket without the usual price-tag.

You might be wary of ordering a refurbished phone, but there's no need to worry. Our stock is provided directly from mobile manufacturers, who have expertly inspected the goods to ensure they're in top working order. This gives you peace of mind, as well as great savings.

Do I still get everything that comes in the box?

Due to the nature of refurbished mobile phones, the original accessories can't be guaranteed. As the item may have been handled already, we don't include accessories such as earphones for hygiene reasons. However, it's worth remembering that the amount of cash you're saving on a refurbished phone is a lot more than the value of a pair of headphones, so even if you pick up an accessory or two separately, you'll still be in pocket in the long run.

The handset may also come in plain packaging, as opposed to the original branded box, but who stops to look at the box anyway? Once you've impatiently flung it into the corner you're still left with a cracking piece of tech in the palm of your hand. In all cases, you can be guaranteed to receive a charger, so you won't lose any time in getting your handset juiced up and ready to go.
