    This model of phone is pretty good. Two drawbacks: the battery suddenly discharges without warning and the phone shuts down. I'm going to have to send it back to sort this out, but as I've had to cut up my sim card to make it compatible (which I didn't realise when I chose this model), I can't put it back in the old one in the meantime.

    Hello, When I start up, the Orange logo appears on the screen. Does this mean that the phone has not been unlocked? How can I check this (I don't have cards from other operators)? There is no section in the help centre dealing with this issue. Thanks for your feedback JD

Reborn vs. brand new

Here’s what you help prevent on average by choosing a reborn smartphone over a brand new one.

77.3 kg of carbon

That’s like driving an old banger from London to Edinburgh and back.

6.3 oz of e-waste

That’s around the weight of a baseball.

537.1 lbs of raw materials

That's like 20 dogs digging in your yard for a week.

77,000 litres of water

That's like running a faucet for 3 days
