Whether you care about saving money, or saving the planet, buying your next phone refurbished is a great alternative to buying new! Buying refurbished is the best way to get the very best phone possible, at a fraction of the original price! Every phone we sell has been restored to a fully-functional condition, and covered by our 12-month warranty. If you’re not 100% satisfied with your purchase, send it back within 14 days and you’ll receive a full refund, no questions asked!
Meanwhile, electronic waste is a rising issue. Over 5 Billion devices were thrown away in 2022. The Big Phone Store is dedicated to fighting the tide of e-waste, and that means selling as many refurbished Apple phones as possible!
See our listings above to find out how much you could save on a refurbished Apple iPhone XS. The cost will vary a lot, depending on its grade. Phones in pristine condition are worth a lot more money than beaten-up ones. On the other hand, phones with 'poor' looks are a great way to get a crazy-cheap deal on the latest tech!
At The Big Phone Store, we describe all of our refurbished phones using these 5 conditions:
Like New: The only difference between a “Like New” phone and a brand-new one is that it doesn’t come sealed in its original packaging! These devices have usually never been used. We even add a charging cable at no extra cost.
Pristine: The best grade a used phone can get! Held 30cm away, you won’t see any marks.
Very Good: If you don’t mind a phone with some light signs of use, then this is the choice for you!
Good: Not afraid of a few scratches or scrapes? “Good” condition phones might not be much to look at, but they still pass every test we can throw at them. If you’re just looking for a phone that you can trust to work perfectly, and don’t care how it looks, then a Good phone could be more than just 'good' for you.
These four conditions are just about looks! Every phone in the grades listed above is PhoneCheck-certified as Fully Working, which means they’ve all passed over 90 tests to ensure they work just as well as if they were brand new. And we stand by that promise! A phone in any of these conditions comes with a 12-month warranty,so you can rest safe knowing that your refurbished Apple phone will work perfectly.
Poor: Do you just want a good phone at a rock-bottom price? Or do you want to make the most eco-friendly choice? At The Big Phone Store, we’ve committed to save every phone from landfill. We’re not going to give up on a phone just because it has a slightly lower charge capacity, or other minor flaw. Our 'Poor' condition phones are the cheapest way to buy a working device. We’ll even cover you with a 3-month warranty!
Finally, we also sell brand new phones.
There are two ways to buy a pre-owned phone. You might save a little money if you buy a used phone from a private seller. However, buying second-hand phones directly is always a risk. Without the legal safeguards you get when buying from a retail store like us, you're in danger of ending up with a useless phone. Buying refurb is the only way to buy a second-hand phone that is 100% certain to be fully working. Our PhoneCheck-certified refurbs all come with a 12-month warranty and 14-day money back guarantee! Finally, we make sure every device is 100% sanitised before we ship it out.
Now that we have your attention, here’s why The Big Phone Store is the number one best place to buy your next refurbished phone!

Great company to buy from. I was a little nervous buying refurbished, especially for a phone so expensive. But everything about TBPS was great, easy website, fast delivery, quick and friendly customer service. Couldn't recommend more!
