How do we make sure every refurb is Like New?

Every device has to pass a 65-point quality check before it can be called Like New. Here's everything we check for...

CheckMEND verification

This is an industry-wide history check that uses serial numbers or IMEI numbers to confirm whether the device is legitimate, safe, and free of legal risks.

80%+ battery health guaranteed

Every device must meet a minimum 80% battery health standard. Below that threshold, the battery is replaced.

Find My iPhone is cleared

Every refurbished iPhone has Apple's Find My iPhone deactivated and the iCloud Activation Lock is fully removed.

Android Lock is cleared

Every refurbished Android phone has the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) professionally removed, so you can access it as if it's brand new.

A refurbished phone is a phone that’s been returned because the customer has changed their mind, or it’s a used phone that’s been traded in. When a phone is traded in, it's often in great condition, and has been sold to us for cash that can be put towards an upgrade. 

Before we sell a refurbished phone, we put it through a strict series of tests, and cleaning and quality checks, to ensure it’s in excellent working condition. 

Whether it's a refurbished iPhone or a refurbished Samsung phone, you can get your hands on the phone you want, for less.
