Warranty
Welcome to The Big Phone Store's warranty page. We are dedicated to providing our customers with high-quality products and support. To ensure your confidence in your purchase, we offer a comprehensive warranty policy.
What is covered
Your purchase from The Big Phone Store comes with a Big warranty policy. The warranty period begins on the day you place your order, and the policy covers any internal fault that may arise with your device within that period during the normal use of your device.
Brand New Devices: All “Brand New” devices sold by The Big Phone Store carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty. This means you’ll be able to return your device to the manufacturer to have your issue resolved. If you cannot locate the contact details for the manufacturer of your product then please email us, and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.
Refurbished Devices: As phone repair specialists with over 20 years of experience, we also offer a full 12-month warranty on all of our refurbished devices (with the exception of “Poor” condition devices, which carry a 3-month warranty).
