Would thoroughly recommend a refurbished phone from The Big Phone Store. Especially having heard friend’s experiences with other sponsored Google refurb companies being poor.
The Big Phone Store made choosing a new phone and payment plan really easy on their website. My iPhone 15 pro arrived beautifully packaged and with some free accessories.
I had an issue in that the phone wouldn’t read my SIM, I tried some other SIMs from other networks but no luck. Maybe the previous owner had an eSIM and it wasn’t picked up on before. I called the team who were really friendly and recommended I return and gave me some great options with no pressure, including full refund. I posted the phone back for the engineers to look at and it was sent back to me in such a short time - I posted it back Friday, it was received Monday, worked on Tuesday and back to me by Wednesday. I got a full refund for my postage costs. And now I’m more than happy with the phone and its condition.
Overall the communication emails and contact with the company were great, especially Sarah. They strike me as a very well together business with a good culture and ethos, with the way they operate. Professional and warm. Thank you!
