Never ever use this company! We made the big mistake of not reviewing this company before using them. We sent an iPhone 4s 16BG off to them a month ago after receiving a quote of £170. A couple of... See more

Dodgy dealers? You decide!

Gave me a quote for my used, but perfectly functioning phone, which I posted off. A couple of days later I received an email sayinfg the phone was broken in half (!) and the offer was now ZERO pounds, and offering to 'recycle' it anyway or send it back.
The 'damage' could have happened in the post I guess, but I remain very dubious!

Best Offer for my phone!

I researched all the other sites on google that offer to purchase old handsets, and the price quoted by yourselves was the best on offer!
Upon you receiving my phone , I received an email stating that it was not quite in the condition that you were expecting, so my offer price was reduced by 20% I was a little disappointed by this, however the revised price is still better than anyone else that was quoting me at the time so I am still happy to take the revised price!!!

Lack of contact, really difficult to speak to someone on the customer service number provided

Upon receipt of my phone Cash My Phone decided to reduce their offer in accordance to their terms and conditions, which may have been fair. However when I attempted to respond to their offer by phone and email it took me 3 days to finally speak to someone on their customer service number which they provided. In addition to this there was no response to my email correspondence. Not happy with the lack of communication.

Dissapointing

They took ages to receive my phone even though I posted it to the Freepost address. Receipt was only confirmed after I said I had proof of postage. Amount for my phone was reduced as they said it was in poor condition but I think the amount they reduced it by was too large. The amount I received was about what I had been offered by other companies and in future I'd probably choose a company with a better reputation. I did receive payment very quickly after it was approved. Just seemed what should have been a very easy transaction quite difficult.

Finally got paid after two months

The initial service was very good, however when I sent my phones in I then had to wait two months to get paid and it was me that got in contact with them to chase them up. Once I'd been in contact the communication was much better. I would have liked to have been kept in the loop more during the waiting period, I wonder if I hadn't contacted them would I have got paid?

Very misleading, nothing but hassle, wouldn't use again.

Had three lots of correspondence to say this company hadn't received my handset when I could prove they had signed for it. Once they admitted they had my handset they then reduced the price I had been originally quoted saying it wasnt up to their standards ( my phone was fully functioning and had nothing cosmetically wrong with it). I agreed the price as could not be bothered with any more hassle & I was told I would receive payment in 48hrs it has now been 72 hrs and still no payment and no reply from my emails. I would not use this company again. Very disappointed.

Goon Enough

This company is ok for what it is. I had no issues with them. Only thing I would say is that I emailed them but ha no reply however I followed my email up with a phone call. On the call the lad I spoke to was really helpful and answered all my questions with ease.

Would definitely use this company again!!

If it seems too good to be true - it usually is!

catchy ad didn't say that if your pohone had one blemish it gets marked down - prices paid seemed good but don't be fooled - unlike most operaors who require the phone just to be operating - these guys want it in pristine conditiion - and even if it is to you - to them it isn't!

Having said this their price at the end of the day still wasn't too bad

Unhappy with 15% 'discount'...

Submitting my 'used' blackberry- they took 15% off the cost (so was paid £85)- even though it was used not new as per my declaration online. Taking liberties you could say...

excellent communication

i did not get what they offered in the first place but i accept there may have been some scratches on the phones for fare enough.

Slow and inefficient

Took far too long to process, the dent/scratch decrease of 15% not labelled specifically enough. This made it far too misleading as after 2 years of a phone you're obviously going to have a few scratches. What looks a great deal will only be given to few that keep their phones immaculate, as after discount the prices are the same as [external reference], [external reference] etc.
Disappointed with the service and lack of communication, particularly when I phoned the customer helpline, which rang out every time and my messages I left and emails weren't responded to.
Just under 3 weeks to send the payment and it's only just been processed. Far too slow and not efficient enough
