I had been having trouble with my phone A3 2016 as the battery was barely lasting a day. The idea was to get one of similar size but they all seem too large and cost too much. I came across back market which gave plenty of choice of refurbished phones and also differing conditions. I was able to buy a slightly better model (A3 2017) as a replacement in excellent condition for a very fair price. It came fairly swiftly in a plain package with wire and charger. There is a 12 month warranty and a 30 day return policy which gives me confidence in this company. I have been very happy with my purchase and know that there are experts on hand should I need help. A cover for the back and front of the phone is worth getting asap which I have done.

Bought the phone for my 10 year old, and she's very happy with it. Arrived quickly and looked brand new. Will definitely use Back Market again.

Easy to find the phone i wanted. Delivery time was well above what was expected, but when delivery was left with neighbour(which was fine and appreciated) a card through my letter box letting me know which neighbour would have been excellent. (Instead of knocking on multiple neighbours doors). The phone looked a lot better than i expected, and was easy to set up, since then we've had no problems and the phone does exactly what it is supposedly to do.
