About Backed Buy

Backed Buy is a UK-based refurbished phone retailer focused on giving customers a straightforward and dependable way to buy high-quality refurbished devices.

Our Mission

Raising the standard for refurbished phones, delivering lasting value.

Our aim is to make buying a refurbished phone straightforward, with clear condition standards, defined battery health guarantees and a thorough quality checking process, so customers can understand what they’re buying before they make their choice.

Quality You Can Understand

We believe buying refurbished shouldn’t mean being uncertain about the phone you’re getting. That's why we’ve built clear standards around testing, condition, battery health and warranty.

Every phone we sell goes through our comprehensive 90 point quality check and refurbishment process before it is approved for sale.

We use two straightforward condition grades so you can understand what to expect before you buy.

Refurbished Properly

Every handset is professionally cleaned, securely data wiped and checked for its IMEI, security status and network-lock status.

If a repair or component replacement is required during the refurbishment process, Backed Buy uses original manufacturer parts. Any handset that undergoes repair or component replacement is tested again before final quality control.

A Clear Record for Every Phone

We individually track each physical handset through our process. That gives us a clear record of the specific device as it moves through testing, refurbishment, sale and aftercare.
