    Very happy with my refurbished phone. Couldn't afford brand new. This was listed as fair wear and tear, but I see no problems. Brand new charging cable with it and the thing to open the SIM card tray. Easy purchase, delivery on track per the tracking online. In a box small enough to post through letterbox so I got it even whilst out at work. Packaged extremely well with very good bubble wrap. Not new phone so battery needs topping up, but at £125.00 I'm happy with that. Hopefully I won't need to buy another phone soon, but will come back here if I do.

    I am so glad Back Market came up on my search engine when looking for a replacement for my damaged Sony Experia. Brilliant device, arrived promptly and looks brand new.

    The phone had to go back. Seemed to be in great condition - like new - but I could not get voice calls working. Nor could my network's tech help. Or the manufacturer's. The seller issued a full refund without fuss, so I'm content and had the confidence to order again.

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
