Verified purchaseVery happy with the phone. I was concerned about buying a refurbished phone but it looks brand new and works excellently. The price was great and delivery time, excellent. Would buy from Back Market again and definitely recommend them.

Verified purchaseGood value for money. Love that the phones are repurposed. They are great phones. I had to buy a better charger but that was no problem. The phone shop were amazed at the bargain I got for my Samsung. Keep up the good work Back Market!

Verified purchaseGood service, I ordered the purple, but received a call (an 02 number) saying they were no longer available but had 3 other colours to choose from so I went with black. Phone is in amazing condition, works perfectly. Overall I'd def buy from here again & recommend the site to any family & friends. Great for circular economy thinkers who follow the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle.

Verified purchasePretty happy with it. Feel like it's a phone from overseas. Some things come up with Chinese writing for some reason and battery life is average but to be expected. Came really quickly though and phone well presented.

Verified purchaseI'm happy the phone condition is as described and everything seems to work well. I didn't expect it to be an American model and heard it can affect 5G connection it seems good so far though so hopefully doesn't pose any issues

Verified purchaseThe phone was working perfectly at first but after a couple of days it locked me out and even the code l put in didn't work and there was no way l could get in . I tried to look where to get in touch with you and couldn't find anything. I took the phone to a nice man l know and he took it back to factory start and l put everything back in again . It was good for a day and looked again . He did it again and l just use fingerprint and pattern to get into my phone and so far is okay. I would have got in touch with you if l could . I did try and they said it wasn't there department.
