Overall it was fine and can't complain for the price. Really needed it as more of a back up phone so this helped fulfill the brief without breaking the bank and of course doing my bit to save the environment is always a good thing. Thanks Backmarket team

The service I received was excellent from speedy delivery to great customer service and the phone was indeed in good condition actually I would say it was excellent condition. However the phone itself is an old phone so doesn't have any of the bells and whistles of newer phones and has very little storage, but I knew that when I bought it. This phone will get me through to my contract ending from my lost phone and it wasn't expensive so I'm happy.
