What is your Google rating?
More than 4,000 customers have given us positive reviews: “Awesome service” — and a near perfect 5-star rating.
Why do you sell pre-owned refurbished phones?
We enjoy saving our customers from needlessly buying the latest expensive models. This keeps cell phones out of e-waste landfills. We have also partnered with Canada’s top battery recycler and Call2Recycle. Cellphones contain precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, copper, cobalt and more. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are 0.034 grams of gold in each cellphone. Recycling these metals reduces the need for mining.
