Refurbished phones for business

Buying a refurbished phone from us isn’t the same as buying a second-hand phone from your friend or an auction site. All our Pay monthly refurbished phones come with a two-year warranty, plus, they’re Vodafone Assured - this means they have a 32-point health check to ensure they’re in full working order. They’re fully sanitised and any data left on them is totally wiped. And, for complete peace of mind, there’s a 14-day no quibble return policy.  
 
To reduce waste, our refurbished phones are shipped in recycled packaging, which will contain your chosen phone and a charging cable. AC adapters and headphones aren’t included.

When you get your refurbished phone, it will have undergone a 32-point health check to ensure it’s in full working order and ready for you to enjoy. Although we can’t predict how long your refurbished phone will last, you can rest assured that it’ll be protected against any manufacturer faults and repairs for two years, with our Total Care Warranty.

Buying a refurbished phone has a lower carbon footprint than buying a brand new one – reuse and give a phone a second life. See 'Legals' below for more information and substantiation.

Our refurbished phones come in two types of condition:  Pristine or Great. Our refurbished phones in Pristine condition have no visible signs of use on the casing or the screen, whereas our refurbished phones in Great condition have minor signs of use on the casing or the screen, such as light marks or barely visible scratches.

Our refurbished phones are friendlier to the planet and your pocket – buying a refurbished phone has a lower carbon footprint than buying a new one, plus, you could save money in comparison to buying brand new.  Choose from a refurbished phone in either Pristine or Great condition.

Friendlier to the planet​ 
Buying a refurbished phone has a lower carbon footprint than buying a new one​ 
Substantiation: 
A lifecycle assessment study (Pamminger, R., Glaser, S. & Wimmer, W., Modelling of different circular end-of-use scenarios for smartphones. International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (2021) 26:470-482) found that a refurbished phone (used for an average 1.93 years) can have a 55% lower contribution to climate change (or ‘GWP’) compared to a new phone (used for 2.5 years) (according to the study results shown on page 479).  
 
Based on this study, buying and using a refurbished phone can be considered to be friendlier for the planet in comparison to buying and using a new phone, because it has a lower negative impact on climate change.
