Not as eco-friendly as described

The phone arrived very quickly and the condition was as described.

However, it had not been thoroughly cleaned and there was a lot of what I would describe as 'gunk' around the three lenses - obviously the previous owner had used a special protective case for the lenses which is great - but please Frank, check the phone carefully and clean it thoroughly before sending it out to a valued customer! Especially when that customer has paid over $1800 for a phone in 'pristine' condition!

The phone was wrapped in a polyester cleaning cloth, which was really strange. Other reviewers have said their phones were wrapped in an "eco friendly tea towel."
Frank must have run out of tea towels the day mine was packaged....

The parcel was supposed to be signed for - as expected for an item of significant value. Unfortunately mine was left in the mailbox up on the street. Fortunately I found it before someone else did!

Hi there,

We're sorry that you aren't totally satisfied. Please get in touch with our customer support team via our email address, befrank@frankmobile.com.au, and they will address your questions or concerns in 1-2 business days. Please send clear photos if possible.

We do require a signature for delivery - we're sorry if AusPost violated our contract regarding this.

Would highly recommend

I bought an iPhone 13 in mint condition. Easy buying experience, quick delivery and arrived wonderfully packaged. The phone itself was in near-perfect condition and the battery life is super long. I'd definitely purchase from them again.

Excellent service

Although the matter could not be resolved, the efforts of Genti, your customer service representative, and his manner were superlative. I felt he really tried to help. He is an excellent ambassador for your company.

Fast and Easy

I decided I needed to upgrade from my Iphone XR after it could no longer make it through the day without dying! After looking at my options I decided to go with the Iphone 14 Pro from Frank Mobile because they had a great EOFY sale on that was hard to argue with. I ordered it on the 26th and I was super shocked when it was delivered by Auspost 2 days later on the 28th! I wasn't expecting it to arrive so fast. In fact it sat in my room for over a week whilst I waited for the case to arrive haha.
It came wrapped in just a microfibre cloth tied with twine and a charging cable and was placed in a box with some packing peanuts. It was nice to not see any plastic but I wasn't sure whether it would still be protected. Thankfully everything was in 'mint' condition, just like I had ordered.
The battery health is at 98% and the phone is just like new. I couldn't be happier. A super easy experience, I would definitely recommend.

Satisfactory Outcome

There were a couple of issues with the refurbished iPhone 13 that I ordered. They were polite and quick to respond to my emails. They paid for the return postage and were happy to offer an exchange or provide a full refund.

Avoiding buying a new phone?

I’ve been avoiding buying a new phone for years. YEARS. I couldn’t face the inflated prices, the aggressive sales tactics and the (frankly) boring details about phone upgrades. Yawn. But after my 1982 model really started misbehaving I knew I had to act. Enter Frank Mobile. The process was easy, straightforward. And I got exactly what I needed, nothing more - nothing less.

Surprisingly Satisfied

I recently purchased a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max with 256GB of storage in mint condition, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This device has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, features, and battery health. However, what surprised me even more was that my order was fulfilled by OzMobile instead of the expected FrankMobile.

What truly caught me off guard was the battery health of the refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max. Despite being a used phone, it arrived with an impressive 94% battery health. This indicates that the battery is in excellent condition and has retained its capacity remarkably well. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the battery easily lasts me a full day with moderate to heavy usage, allowing me to rely on it throughout the day without constantly searching for a charging outlet.

In terms of build quality, the refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max arrived in mint condition, reflecting excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Although it was OzMobile who fulfilled my order instead of the expected FrankMobile, I have no complaints regarding the device itself. The premium materials and sleek design exude sophistication and durability. The inclusion of a Ceramic Shield front cover adds an extra layer of protection against accidental drops and scratches. The water and dust resistance further add to the device's resilience.

Love my “new” phone!

Love my “new” phone. I like the minimal packaging and helping the environment as well as not paying full price for an upgrade. Phone was in perfect condition and fast delivery. Would definitely purchase from Frank again.

Phone arrived as stated

Phone arrived as stated. Near new condition and works perfectly. A little disappointed the battery only has 93% charge capacity but it is, as stated it would be, over 83% capacity

Great experience all round

I loved the whole experience using Frank. The easy to use, well-designed website. The competitive pricing. The super quick shipping, and high quality product I received. I'm no stranger to buying refurbished iphones, but Frank felt different - it didnt feel as dodgy as some of the other places and I knew it was a company I could trust to deliver what they had promised. Thanks team!

Fantastic, prompt service

Great service from Frank Mobile when I called them. They went out of the way to get a phone to me quickly for an overseas trip. It arrived in 2 days and ‘mint’ condition was like brand new. Would definitely buy from Frank mobile again!
