Quick payment, great quality & communication

I was really impressed with the speed of Fonepal's service. Not only that, they gave me the exact amount for my phone that was originally quoted, unlike other 'Sell Your Gadet' sites.

Great service, quality, communication and prompt payment. I will definitely be using them again.

Excellent experience

Excellent experience, used pre-paid label, posted one day, received notification of receipt the next day followed shortly after with payment. No nonsense deductions unlike some other companies. Highly recommend.

Amazing service

Offered the best price online. Sent a recorded delivery envelope by return. I send the wrong model of phone and they emailed to say they had paid me the correct amount, which was more. I wouldn't have known if they hadn't been so honest. Great company. Can't recommend enough

A great service all round

A great service all round, i sent phone without order number and received an email, with pictures, that had been sent out to everyone who had sent a similar phone, i recognised my phone and replied. Money paid immediately, fantastic attention to detail and i will certainly use them again. Thank you Dan and team.

Very professional company.

I was a little bit apprehensive about posting my phone to a company, but I was pleasantly suprised. I received a prepaid envelope in the post. It took 2 days and the money was in my bank. Very professional firm and answered all my questions quickly. They give the highest price, will definitely use again!

Excelllent and surprising

Excellent service, and the first time EVER of trading in phones the full amount has been paid. Ignore the rest if you want to avoid that feeling of being duped and cheated. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service...give them a try

Wanted to sell my old broken phone but wasn't too sure who to use.

These guys popped up and I was wary but they offered the most money, so I gave them a try.

Sent my phone 3 days ago and the money is already in my bank.

Highly, highly recommended.
