How do we grade used mobile phones?

Before we can sell you an used mobile phone, it has to be thoroughly examined by our qualified staff. We need to be sure that our stock will meet your expectations. Satisfaction of our customers is very important for us as we believe, that long-term partnerships are the key to success in business. Therefore we have prepared a system of testing and grading of all mobile devices that enter our company, so that you can be certain that the product will have an accurate description and a proper price.

All phones are chcecked in order to meet the following cirteria:

  • phone has to turn ON and OFF without any problems
  • we check on possible simlock state
  • the overall condition of the display is examined, we check if the display is clean, colours are ok and if there arent any bad pixels
  • we test the microphone
  • we test the speaker and loudspeaker
  • the vibration of the phone must be OK
  • we check whether the camera is working
  • we perform a test call on each and every of our mobile phones
  • we also check the battery condition and charging

  • on newer devices we as well check, if they are not blacklisted nor bloked
