Phone has all marks on back and didn't allow me to set up Gmail. Touch sceen won't let me select next button. Want to send back but I'm disabled and have noone to take it post office. Asked back market if can arrange collection from address. They should do this as I've been sent a phone that doesn't work as promised but we shall see what they say No reply yet.

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.
