Why go refurbished?

It’s cheaper than buying new

New phones are more expensive than ever, with top-end models costing well over £1,000. Even spread over the course of a contract, that’s a lot of money - and it’s a big commitment over 2 or 3 years too.

Going refurbished means you can get a great phone for much, much less - sometimes even £100s less! And if you’d prefer to keep paying monthly, you can spread the cost with our flexible payment options too.

Better for the planet

You’re not just saving money. You’re helping protect the planet too. Here’s how:

Reduces e-waste, the world’s fastest growing waste stream.

Saves the precious resources required to build new phones.

Cuts carbon emissions associated with producing new phones.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends what you’re looking for. If you play the latest games and want cutting-edge camera technology, you’ll want to opt for a newer model (although you don’t necessarily need the newest phone - make sure to compare specs before you buy!). If you just want something that can do the basics like Instagram and WhatsApp, you can save a lot by opting for an older generation instead.

Trade in your unwanted tech! It helps reduce e-waste and puts a little extra cash in your pocket, which you can put towards the cost of your upgrade. You can trade in iPhone and Samsung phones at your nearest SMARTDrop Kiosk, located at Asda stores across the country.

All of our phones are free from a network, which means you can choose an airtime plan that actually suits your needs. Take a look at our average data usage and pick a data cap that fits; you ideally want the cheapest plan but one you’re not at risk of overusing.
