We've also created some FAQs below, which provide some more help & advice ↘️

What is our Like New range of refurbished phones?

More info

Like New is our range of curated refurbished phones. We check for everything from scuffed screens and cracked cases to bashed-up buttons to make sure all our refurbished phones are in excellent condition. You could bag one of the latest and greatest phones and save up to £200 while reducing your carbon footprint
compared to buying new. All with a 3-year warranty on a Plus Plan, or a year without. That’s the same as buying a brand-new phone with us!

What’s included with a refurbished phone?

More info

As part of our push toward a sustainable future, all our refurbished phones are delivered in recyclable boxes. They come with a USB charging cable and a tool to change the SIM. To avoid waste, we don’t include a mains plug. That means fewer unused adapters rattling around in drawers, and ultimately fewer in landfill. If you need headphones or any other accessories, we’ve got you covered. Just add them to your basket after choosing your tariff.

Are refurbished phones really better for the planet?

More info

Purchasing a refurbished phone from our Like New range reduces emissions, uses fewer virgin materials, and emits less CO2 compared to buying a new one. See our substantiation document based on a report by Cordella et al HERE. Using a lifecycle assessment model, the study investigated the carbon footprint of smartphones and lifecycle costs for consumers in scenarios where different material efficiency strategies are implemented in Europe. Findings revealed that a significant portion of the carbon footprint of smartphones is in material extraction and processing as well as parts manufacture. Material extraction includes the mining of minerals, oil extraction and the use of any other non-recycled resources.

What quality should I expect with a refurbished phone?

More info

We test all our refurbished phones to make sure they’re in great shape. You might see the odd sign of wear, but they’ll always be free from deep scratches and cracks. In fact, we’re so confident in them they come with a 3-year warranty if you choose a Plus Plan, or a year if you don’t. That’s exactly the same as you’d get with our brand-new phones.

What do you mean by ‘At least 80% battery health’?

More info

Battery health starts at 100% and naturally decreases over time. The lower the percentage, the less power you’ll get out of a full charge. All our refurbished phones arrive with at least 80% battery health – so you won’t be running out of juice unexpectedly.

Where can I buy a refurbished phone?

More info

You can pick up a refurbished phone online or over the phone. We don’t stock refurbished phones in store, but you can place an order to be delivered to your home if you’d like.

What if I’m unhappy with my refurbished phone?

More info

We’re confident you’ll be happy with your refurbished phone. But you’ll have 14 days to exchange or return it if it’s not up to scratch – or even if you just change your mind.

I've checked the prices @Dave-O2 and they look  pretty decent.

Good to see the warranty remains the same as new models.

[Pipstop78]

Wow this seems a good idea like the look of this

Here is Ken Lo's take on this :-

O2 Like New Phones: Extra £100 Off Galaxy S23 & iPhone SE (kenstechtips.com)

https://kenstechtips.com/index.php/o2-like-new-phone-deals

Are the discount codes that are contained in that article additional price reductions @Dave-O2 ? ❓

It looks to me like they are, making the potential deals even better value ! 👍 

[Oxonian]

See the link above @Pipstop78 and @Cleoriff for what I think is an even better deal.  

[Pipstop78]

It is actually looks really good choices as well 

[Oxonian]

Just bear in mind @Pipstop78 that there are many outlets for reconditioned and second-hand 'phones, including shops such as Argos and CEX. Hence, shopping around will secure the best deal. 👍   

[Dave-O2]

Thanks for the question @Oxonian 

Yes! The discounts are additional to the prices shown on the website.

Simply set the upfront cost of the phone to at least £100 when choosing your tariff and use the code on the link you sent during the checkout journey 👍

Hope anyone who does order has more luck than me - ordered a like new device in March which was faulty and 8 weeks on I'm still awaiting the replacement. Really really wish I'd gone sim only and ordered a phone with BackMarket!
