Verified purchaseGreat service from Backmarket, speedy and well priced reconditioned 'top notch' iPhone SE 32GB for a fraction of the cost of a new model. Does what I want it to do and is indistinguishable from an 'out of the box' model as far as I can tell.

Verified purchaseNeeded a replacement phone fir my 11 year old grandson when he dropped his and broke the screen. Found this for a decent price and even better a years Warranty. Fast delivery and grandson happy with it. First of all said it's really slow, once he updated it sent me a message saying "wow this us amazing and really fast". He said everyone at school (secondary) laughs at it, they all gave the latest iphones. Lucky them if their parents can afford that. Grandson has been told if he looks after this one and doesn't break it maybe he can have a larger phone for his birthday. Would definitely come back to Back Market to purchase another refurbished phone instead of new.

Verified purchaseLovely little first phone for my bonus daughter, great for smaller hands to type quickly. The battery does run out quite quickly but we have Life360 app which does zap batteries, and she’s in the honeymoon period so on it a lot too! Perfect choice though.

Verified purchasePhone sold as unlocked. When arrived was locked by O2. No real options in help centre but tried and they did advise to return phone for a replacement. Ended up paying £15 to be unlocked by shop in town Disappointed as have had previous orders and everything has been brilliant

Verified purchaseThe little iPhone is in very good condition and works well, although the battery life gives problems. If charged to full and then switched off overnight it reveals only 1 per cent in the morning and needs charging again before it will operate. Occasionally it will hold a reduced charge but mostly not so.

Here’s what you help prevent on average by choosing a reborn smartphone over a brand new one.
That’s like driving an old banger from London to Edinburgh and back.
That’s around the weight of a baseball.
That's like 20 dogs digging in your yard for a week.
That's like running a faucet for 3 days
