After having bad luck with a refurbished i-Phone from Amazon I was very lucky to find Need-a-Phone. I reviewed their listings for a refurbished iPhone 13 mini and was delighted with the result. My phone arrived a bit earlier than I expected. When I set it up and transferred my data I found that the battery health was actually significantly higher than the minimum in their specifications. It was in great physical condition as well, with no scratches and a pristine screen. The cost was very close to the one from Amazon that I had to return. Need-a-Phone met or exceeded all of my expectations. My next order for a phone will be with them for sure!
I received my phone writhing a few buisiness days of ordering it. Communication with need-a-phone was prompt and courteous. The phone arrived in pristine condition and battery was at 100%. I even received a follow up email to be sure everything was satisfactory.
Phone arrived in 3 days! Great deal. Runs Perfectly. Battery life is 100%. I’m happy with my purchase from Need-a-phone.ca! 😁
Need-a-phone is excellent for supplying newish iPhones! I was looking at Amazon for a different iPhone! But the reviews weren’t that good for the one I wanted, so Facebook displayed need-a-phone! I was sceptical but checked out the company and found great reviews and BBB cert! So selected an excellent rated iPhone 13 at a great price and ordered on a Sunday and received Tuesday morning in Edmonton! I am very pleased with the condition, operation, battery life and ordering process! All very very good! Overall I would highly recommend Need-a-phone for anyone wanting a newish phone with no high contracts(I have a BYOD with Shaw/Rogers)
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review. Your support means a lot to us. We truly appreciate your trust in our team and look forward to serving you again in the future.
Great experience selling my phone to need-a-phone. They were very professional and made the process very easy handle. Would highly recommend.
Great service they went above and beyond!
Great experience! Ordered 2 iPhones from another refurbisher and had to return one of them right out of the box so I decided to try something different. Found need-a-phone.ca on my feed and after checking them out decided to support this Canadian business. Their price was good, plus I took advantage of the $10 coupon for additional savings. Shipping was very fast and I received notifications at every step. The phone was in excellent condition with 85% battery. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and all is good. Would highly recommend.
A great selection of quality phones and exceptional costumer service. They provided professional and easy to understand answers to all my questions. The price was very fair and the delivery was quick. I'm very happy with the phone condition and quality, it feels like using a new phone.
Excellent service. Device was in excellent condition as specified in the add. Would buy from them again.
I ordered an iPhone 11 64 GB from need-a-phone.caand it arrived securely packaged and the phone was very clean.. (an important part of the whole experience).I use my iPhone everyday and I'm pleased with its' performance.I believe in supporting Canadian businesses 🇨🇦 that take pride in their work.
I"m really glad I went this route to find a new phone. It was exactly as advertised. Price was good. Delivery was very quick. I hope I don't have to replace my phone again for a very long time, and when I do I will order through here again.
