If you've bought a second-hand phone and you're happy with it, where did you buy it from?

I need a phone and haven't got much money at the moment. I'm thinking about buying a refurbished phone (Samsung S8+ or similar) and then get a sim-only contract, which should work out cheaper. If you have done that, where have you bought your phone from?

Thanks.

o2 website. Bought about 5 phones from there in the past few years. They all looked brand new and worked perfectly.

Ive had one from CEX and one from Music Magpie both absolutely perfect.

DH got his from giffgaff. I'm planning on doing the same with mine soon.

iPhone 6s from CEX. Really pleased with it. I could have paid £50-100 less buying through FB or gumtree but I wanted the reassurance that I could return it if it was a bit naff! It was still a very reasonable price anyway.

My last phone was from music magpie. Would recommend them. They're honest about the condition of the phone, communication is good and delivery was speedy.

PorridgeIsYummy · 15/10/2018 23:44

Thanks! Some brilliant suggestions here.

Had from CEX, ebay and music magpie, all fine. Music magpie was very good when we had an issue with a phone soon after delivery, took it back, no quibble at alll.

amazon marketplace for mine (iPhone 7 plus)

Looked at giffgaff & music magpie but they didn’t have what I wanted at the time. Sold my old phone to giffgaff though - might have got more on eBay but couldn’t be arsed.

GiantKitten · 16/10/2018 00:03

Also had good experience with music magpie - accidentally bought wrong Samsung phone for DH & they refunded without quibble
