Excellent product I was surprised to see not a mark or blemish on the phone. I would certainly recommend Backmark for a quality product. Kind Regards Dave

Never used this company before, so I was a bit wary. Shouldn't have worried though, the item was delivered on the expected date and the quality of the phone was brilliant. I will definitely be using them again.

Really pleased with the condition of the phone. I couldn't tell it had been used before (I chose 'excellent' condition). It would've been helpful to be sent the tool needed to put the sim card and sd card in!

My phone arrived very quickly after ordering. Problem is charging cable does not fit the phone. I do not have any other to use.
