Verified purchaseReviewed 25/09/2026, United Kingdom.
3.1/5Not Happy Jan, The item I received was not the one I ordered. I ordered a blue one, but I received a silver one. When I was inspecting the phone, I saw the usual scratches and scuffs that I had expected from a fair condition phone, but I didn't expect to see the back of the casing coming apart from the front of casing. Also the price was advertised at £85 but I was charged £89, then on top of that, there was an extra fee I didn't expect, of £1.49, totaling £90.49. And I also read on the welcome email you sent me, of which I only read after I made the order, that I should of got £15 off my first order. I bought the phone for my 14 yr old son. I specifically searched for this old model phone because his auntie had given him her old phone as his first phone, and that he had the wallet case for it. I have to say that I am very disappointed with my purchase. I have seen your adverts on TV stating your quality guarantees or we can have your mother's possessions. Ms D. Haines.
