5 stars really appreciate
Very good at identifying packages…
Very good at identifying packages without order number as I sent mine without one and communication was good I would be using this service again but will be including my order number as it causes more time but very good in dealing with the situation
Brilliant service…
Its a bit of a nightmare when you come to sell your old phone, This one went like a dream, clearly a well set up outfit, communications was excellent from start to finish and payment was made within three/four days from when i sent the phone in the pre paid envelope they sent me. Next time i am changing my phone i would definately use them again.
I got more than I had originally been…
I got more than I had originally been quoted. Quick response from delivering the postage bag to receiving the money once I had sent it back.
Fonepal is an excellent recycle…
Fonepal is an excellent recycle company. Very fast response to sending the container and payment into the bank. I highly recommend this firm.
Sold my phone with a cracked screen to…
Sold my phone with a cracked screen to fone pal, the free post bag came within 48hrs and the full amount quoted was paid within 24hrs of posting. No complaints, great speedy service , they also pay out more than the bigger names. Will 100% use again when I need to.
100% Recommend
Ordered a prepaid postage pack and sent my phone on the Tuesday and recieced the full amount quoted on the Thursday (would have been on the Wednesday but there was a delay due to a problem on my end.) 100% recommend!
No Issues
Easy process to trade in a phone and a very fair offer from this company. Efficient and friendly.

I have spoken with two guys from this company, names unknown otherwise they would have a mention!
Both guys were very helpful and friendly. I managed to damage my own phone which they were very obliging about.... That's what's known as grest customer service!!
I was kept in the loop throughout the whole process which I liked. I really liked the fact that you can make contact via WhatsApp. So much easier without too much time being taken up around phone calls.
In years time when I am due a new upgrade my phone un-damaged will be sold to these guys.
"Highly recommended folks"
Excellent customer service received
Very simple to use. Excellent service & very fast payment received. Will certainly use Fonepal again.🙂
Quick turnaround and useful info…
Quick turnaround and useful info emailed. Full price offered was paid. Just be aware that you'll pay a fee if you opt for payment via PayPal. Also, I had to pay extra postage as not enough was put on the envelope.
Edit: I posted this review without giving these guys a chance to respond to the issues (PayPal fee and postage). They have provided evidence that the postage was more than adequate (I will take this up with the Post Office) and they have refunded the PayPal fee and the extra postage I paid. This company have been more than fair with me and given excellent customer service. I have apologised for my hasty review and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their phone.
Great company and very quick and…
Great company and very quick and efficient with payment. I would highly recommend this great company. Danny.
Only posted the phone off yesterday…
Only posted the phone off yesterday afternoon and just had the money in my account. They sent me the postage envelope so it was no hassle or bother for me. Highly recommend.
Painless, quick and better than fair
Without a doubt the easiest and most profitable way to recycle your old phone and by some margin the best price I could find. I requested a prepaid return envelope, returned my phone, then received full payment the next day. Friendly, efficient and professional.
Excellent service
Excellent service, quick turnaround and money in my account before I could blink. Would highly recommend and use again in future. Top job!
Very good!
Very good service and quick too. Would definitely recommend.

Won't go anywhere else every again when selling a phone.

Very quick
Very quick, very efficient, and paid promptly absolutely first class.
Excellent service
Excellent service. Prepaid envelope arrived quickly and payment received immediately on receipt of the handset. Friendly follow-up email from customer services. I would highly recommend.
Offered a fiver for a very faulty…
Offered a fiver for a very faulty phone, sent a pre paid envelope and paid the money straight away. Much better than throwing away, hopefully will be used for parts and made useful in some way.
