Refurbished & Used Phones in Vancouver
Need a refurbished or used phone in Vancouver? need-a-phone.ca ships fully unlocked, quality-checked iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and Motorola phones and tablets free across Canada, with fast delivery throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Why buy a used phone in Vancouver from need-a-phone?
Vancouver living isn't cheap, and a refurbished phone is a straightforward way to get premium hardware for a good deal less. Every device is inspected, fully tested, and graded by condition — Excellent, Good, or Fair — before it goes online, so there are no surprises when the box arrives. Phones ship ready to use, contract-free and unlocked, with no credit check and no two-year commitment.
We're a Canadian company with a real storefront, not a marketplace of anonymous sellers. Every phone passes through our own bench in Winnipeg before it ships to you.
Do these phones work with BC carriers?
Yes. Each phone is fully unlocked and compatible with every major Canadian network, including Telus, Rogers, Bell, Koodo, Fido, Freedom Mobile, Public Mobile, and Chatr. Insert your SIM or set up an eSIM on supported models to get connected. We also check every device against the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association blacklist before it's sold, so you'll never end up with a handset that was reported lost or stolen.
Can I sell or trade in my old phone in Vancouver?
Yes. Our trade-in program gives you an instant quote online — pick your device, storage and condition and you'll see what it's worth straight away. We send a free shipping label, inspect the device when it arrives, and pay by e-transfer or PayPal. There's no obligation and no contract, and it's an easy way to put the value of a drawer phone toward your next one.
How fast is shipping to Vancouver?
Standard shipping generally takes 3 to 5 business days. If you choose the next-business-day option and order before 3:00 PM Central (1:00 PM Pacific), delivery to most Vancouver-area addresses can take about one business day. Shipping is free on every order, and returns are free too.
Which areas around Vancouver do you deliver to?
We ship anywhere in Canada, and that includes the whole Lower Mainland — Vancouver proper, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta and Langley, plus the Fraser Valley and across to Vancouver Island.
