Refurbished phones from musicMagpie are like no other. Why? We like to think we do things differently. Plus, each and every piece of phone and tech we sell is Certified Refurbished!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Unsure about refurbished phones? What\u2019s different about new and refurbished phones<\/a>? We\u2019re here to tell you all about them, debunk some myths and explain why refurbished phones are the best choice for you – and the planet.<\/p>\r\n Refurbished phones are basically second-hand phones. The difference is they\u2019ve been tested to check they\u2019re in full working order and serve their purpose as a phone to last for years to come. Here at musicMagpie, when someone wants to sell a phone<\/a> to us, we use an industry-leading 90-point check system once we receive it – which checks 90 faults on all phones traded in to us. This is so the phone you get works perfectly.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The system checks for things like battery life, audio capabilities and many other faults that aren\u2019t obvious to the human eye. Plus, data is removed in line with government guidelines as privacy and the protection of your personal data is super important.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Explore our huge range of refurbished phones, including refurbished iPhone 14<\/a>, refurbished iPhone 13<\/a>, refurbished iPhone 12<\/a>, refurbished iPhone 11<\/a> and other models.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Read: <\/em>how to remove your Apple account<\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n On the musicMagpie Store, you\u2019ll notice we\u2019ve categorised our tech into three different grades: Pristine, Very Good, and Good. Our grades are used to determine the physical condition of your phone, not the inner workings or functionality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Naturally, this affects the price point (Pristine being the most exclusive and Good being our budget range) of our tech. Our grading system is like this to offer flexible options according to your budget and needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As mentioned, we have three different grades depending on their physical<\/strong> condition. If you\u2019d rather have a like-new phone (Pristine), or a cheap phone with a few blemishes you\u2019re not bothered about (Good) – then you have some great options to choose from!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Want a phone that\u2019s as close to brand new as possible without the hefty cost? Pristine phones are the ones for you! Pristine phone shows little to no signs of use when held at arm\u2019s length. In fact, you might not even notice the difference compared to a new phone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A phone or piece of tech graded Very Good shows little signs of wear but still looks and feels great! As with all of our phones, they\u2019re in full working order and retain all their functionality.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Very Good Phones may have some very minor blemishes but they can be easily covered with a phone case, meaning you\u2019ll never notice them during day-to-day usage. Plus, they\u2019re more affordable than our Pristine range if you\u2019re looking to save some extra pennies!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Our Good phones are a fantastic option if you\u2019re on a budget. Good phones have all the functionality of a brand new phone but may have slightly more noticeable blemishes. Just like with our Very Good phones, they can easily be covered with a phone case. Plus, they\u2019re the most affordable in our range – great if you need a phone fast!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In short – yes. Besides saving money, there\u2019s a whole list of reasons why you should buy a refurbished phone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Buying a refurbished phone outright (or through our Klarna option) means you won\u2019t be tied down for years in a contract. This gives you flexibility and a chance to maximise your savings<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n …For a fraction of the price! All refurbished phones are in fully functioning order, meaning they work just like a new phone would.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Refurbished phones are far more environmentally friendly. This is because it reduces the demand for mining new ores and many other costly ventures that harm the environment. Plus, you promote a circular economy when buying refurbished!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Buying a refurbished phone from a friend might be convenient, but what if there\u2019s a problem with the phone? We offer a 12 month warranty covering faults and technical defects, meaning you\u2019re covered if you encounter any issues with your handset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Buying from a trusted retailer like musicMagpie means you have consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 if (on the extremely rare occasion) you don\u2019t get the phone as described. You can\u2019t do that if you buy a phone from a friend!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s really easy to get your hands on a refurbished phone from musicMagpie! Simply visit the musicMagpie Store and browse our extensive range of phones. We stock refurbished iPhones<\/a>, refurbished Huawei phones<\/a>,\u00a0refurbished Google phones<\/a> and many other brands. Plus, you can also buy refurbished phone accessories<\/a> too!<\/p>\r\n Can\u2019t afford a phone outright? There are a few ways to get your hands on a phone without breaking the bank:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Did you know it\u2019s possible to rent a phone with musicMagpie? That\u2019s right – get a phone for as little as \u00a39.99 a month!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n [***RENT A PHONE***]<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We understand that not everyone has access to the original box their phones or tech come in. That\u2019s why our phones come in our branded, eco-friendly packaging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A refurbished phone means someone has already owned the phone, has sent it back via a returns procedure or phone trade in site (like us!). These phones are then fully tested, repaired and sold on the musicMagpie Store to another customer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
