“Received quoted amount”

★★★★★

written by Mitchell336 on 18/03/2018

Extremely happy with this company. Mazuma mobile withdrew their offer of £35 and offered me £10 for my iphone 6S, they advised there was a 'green border in a defective LCD screen. This was certainly not the case. I then applied to Fonebank who quoted me £35 and paid me £35 the same week. They even paid my husband £36 for an old Samsung galaxy phone. Highlight recommended.

“Sent them a phone in A1 condition, no scratches, marks...”

★★☆☆☆

written by Gary1950 on 01/12/2017

Sent them a phone in A1 condition, no scratches, marks screen working fine, picture and colour perfect. Reduced offer by £50 saying there's internal screen burn! So having phone sent back, hope it arrives as I sent it.

★★★★★

written by 55Whitehead on 20/11/2014

Sent my phone off on a Wednesday and received my cheque by Monday the only company that was willing to give a decent amount ($306) for a phone only a year old and originally priced at $900 in very good condition, every other company was offering $180 also had an enquiry as well and received a reply within the day. Fast and reliable service would recommend to anyone

“Everything they said they did.”

★★★★★

written by Bearlin on 16/06/2014

Efficient, clear and easy. Paid so promptly I was amazed. The instructions were written in clear English even I could understand so not just for the experienced techie. The price quoted was not the very highest I found on line but was next best and seemed to not quibble about condition and had much better reviews. The postage labels were easy to print and clear about what had to be done, what to include, type of packaging to use and reminders about the postage records to get. Overall experience was very positive. They told me everything I needed to know up front and the money was in my account, sent BACS within 24 hours. I would definitely recommend this company for an older mobile phone. Cannot speak for more trendy equipment as this was no i-phone etc!

“Excellent service and price - would defintely recommend”

★★★★★

written by debslav on 09/06/2014

I used Fonebank last week for my iphone 4s and received my money within 3 days. They kept me informed every step of the way and I had no issues with them - so I would definitely recommend them. A very easy and trouble free experience!

“These Guys are Brilliant”

★★★★★

written by Miller304 on 05/06/2014

I can't believe these reviews. I have used this company tens of times over the last five or six years and they have been spot on. Prompt service and decent customer care.

“Not impressed”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 18/12/2013

Sent in a Nokia phone using their return postage but unfortunately it went missing in the post. Fonebank initially replied to my query promising it will make a claim but it has been 3 weeks now without any update or reply to my weekly follow-up emails. Not impressed.

“Fraudulent activity”

★☆☆☆☆

written by andrewpartridge63 on 13/08/2013

I had never heard of this company before 8.50 am on Friday 9 August, when I got a phone call from the Fraud Department of my bank to say two lots of £309.99 and one lot for £414.99 had been taken from my account payable to fonebank.com, in the space of two minutes. The final payment was stopped but the former two went through. Whether the company is fraudulent or they simply have a rouge employee I have yet to be find out but I am not impressed by their communication or attempt to solve the problem to date. I seriously advise not having anything to do with this company.

“Fonebank-does what it says on the tin”

★★★★★

written by on 17/04/2013

I sold my old phone through these people, got the best price without any hitches AND they only wanted the phone not all the bits and pieces that other companies insist upon. The cheque arrived within a few days, a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

“Shocking New out of Box Say doesnt work”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 18/03/2013

I sent them a brand new device out of the box, had tested it worked and then they receive it and tell me they could get it to work. Think these guys try to pull a fast one and hope people just accept it and get the non working cash. Do Not send them your phone.

I sent in two Blackberries and checked both were working before posting - they had also both been in constant use before selling - only to be told that one was now not working and they were reducing their payment to me. I googled and found this site which confirms that they are pulling a fast one on some customers. AVOID at all costs.

“TERRIBLE SERVICE”

★☆☆☆☆

written by TORTUGA on 01/03/2013

I sent 4 phones in two packages, 2 in each. Fonebank say they never received them even though Post Office say both could not have gone missing. Fonebank cannot be bothered to look for them and I have to conclude they probrably have them and have miss laid them, but cant be bothered to deal with my complaint. So all in all TERRIBLE TERRIBLE experience. DO NOT USE

“Dont bother with Fonebank, use the others”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/02/2013

terrible firm to deal with, give an air of respectability then want to bid you down on the phones price. I was warned of this but was nearby so dropped it in as the yinitially offered more than elsewhere, they are nothing short of useless and dishonest. I am back off to Mazuma Don't waste you time with

“Terrible!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Stevie1981 on 11/02/2013

I've asked for my iphone to be returned Sent phone in perfect working order but they said camera was faulty! Apparently camera is blurry and tried to knock 22% - £30 of trade in value even though T&C's don't say anything about cosmetic damage. I tried to explain I had a different cover on the back and the camera lens just needs a clean but they wouldn't budge I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone
