Vodafone has launched a new Good Grade option in its refurbished phone range, which offers customers savings of up to £216 on the latest devices versus buying brand new. A Good Grade device is in excellent working order but has some visible signs of use, such as small scratches, dents or marks on the case and screen. From today, customers will be able to pick up a host of Good Grade devices, including iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S23.
With Great and Pristine condition devices available too, customers can get the right phone for their budget on Vodafone’s reliable, award-winning network*.

Reduce, Reuse, Refurbished: second-hand behaviours on the rise
If 50% of Brits switched to a refurbished device in 2024, an astonishing 63,750,000kg of carbon could be saved, enough to power the equivalent of 88,174 family homes across the UK for a year.
Customers can get peace of mind when they purchase a refurbished device with Vodafone, as every phone purchased on Vodafone EVO comes with the UK’s only Lifetime Service Promise. This market-leading offering provides customers with Battery Refresh and Lifetime Warranty, at no extra cost.
Customers benefit from free battery health checks and replacements for up to three years with Battery Refresh. What’s more, Lifetime Warranty covers device repairs against manufacturer faults for as long as customers have a Pay Monthly Airtime Plan, meaning phones last longer with Vodafone.
That’s not all, as all refurbished devices are Vodafone assured. This means they are given a 32-point health check to ensure they are in full working order. They’re also fully sanitised and any data left on them is totally wiped. Plus, there’s a 14-day no-quibble return policy.

Notes to Editors
*Reliable, award-winning network: The UK relies on Vodafone as a network provider as it: i) powers critical national infrastructure and 82% of emergency services, ii) has coverage in 99% of UK homes, iii) covers 96% of the UK and iv) has won numerous awards. See full details and awards on our Network page.
**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.
