    I don’t usually leave reviews but this time I’m compelled to write one. It’s my first time using backmarket to purchase a refurbished phone for my Mom as a xmas gift. I opted for the excellent condition. Honestly, I was thinking twice to make a purchase thru backmarket because of the mixed reviews that I’ve extensively read, especially the words “brittle screen display” “non-genuine parts installed” such and such. But since, backmarket offers 1-year warranty and 14-day return policy, it’s a no brainer. Thus, I went ahead and made the purchase. The iPhone 14 Pro arrived quick and upon examining it more thoroughly, it’s basically flawless like brand new just like you get from apple, other than 85% battery life (which I’m about to get replaced by apple anyway). I’m so happy about this transaction and I highly recommend it to people who are in the market for one without costing you arm and leg. Shout out to Supplytronics!

    I recently purchased a Google Pixel 7 Pro from Back Market, and I’m really impressed with my experience. The phone arrived in excellent condition, just as described on the site. The pricing was competitive, and the purchase process was smooth and straightforward. Shipping was faster than expected, and the packaging was secure, ensuring the phone arrived safely. Overall, I’m very satisfied with both the product and the service. I would highly recommend Back Market to anyone looking for quality refurbished electronics at great prices!

    I loved the product and its quality, also got the item delivered earlier than expected. It was very economical, as I got an iPhone 15 pro 512 GB for just $904, and that to in excellent condition. Also, I got Battery health at 100%, moreover phone still has an active Apple warranty. I am not sure if after refurbishing the phone it is still water resistant or not, and so I wouldn't risk it. The charging cable is not original and very small in length. Rest everything is awesome and I love it. I checked the Antutu and Geek bench benchmark scores, they were a little lower side from the actual score but I guess that is due to the low charging and background applications.

    Exchanged a Samsung Galaxy S9 for a Samsung Galaxy S23. I came across Back Market in an article and after checking them and many other refurbished electronics suppliers I felt completely comfortable to take a chance. The order process itself was very easy and product shipped/arrived as promised. The staff picks were helpful in deciding on what to get as well. I had no problem setting up the phone myself thru my current carrier Verizon. ALL data transferred successfully. I took it in just to make sure I did everything correctly and without knowing it was refurbish, even they said the phone looked and operated as New. I would definitely use Black Market again . (I ordered an Excellent level which was similar price to Good condition at the time.)

    So far I'm impressed with my purchase of the refurbished iPhone 13 mini. The phone appears to be in excellent shape with no cosmetic damage. The case and screen are blemish free and the battery charges to 100%! The only difficulty I have had is migrating the data form my old Android phone to the new iPhone. The service provider (T-Mobile) and Apple Support weren't much help. I will definitely consider another refurbished phone from this seller in the future.

    I was so hesitant to buy a refurbished phone off Back Market. After losing my phone that I bought from Apple (and am still paying off), I knew I didn't want to spend the $1,300 on a brand new one AGAIN. The iPhone 14 pro max I bought of this site is EXCELENT. I purchased the "good" option, expecting it to come with a few scratches from a previous owner.... It's literally a brand new phone. Not a scratch on it and works absolutely perfectly. Not sure how this site does with other products outside of iPhones... but I will 100% be coming back when the time comes to purchase another.

    I purchased the iPhone 13 Pro 512GB - Sierra Blue in Excellent.Condition. It is beautiful with no scratches, nicks or dings. It looks and feels brand new. It has lots of “bells and whistles” compared to my iPhone 8. My purchase was easy and its delivery super fast. I am thrilled with my purchase and I’ll always buy refurbished from Back Market. Oh, by the way, this is my third purchase from them. Moolidee

    I chose "good" condition and there were 2 chips on the iPhone, in the metal part of the phone not the screen. I guess that's what you get with a used phone tho. The phone itself works great and I am paying for $2.99 a month for insurance because it seems like it'll cover everything so I think that's a good deal. One thing I will say is the phone availability and price was changing pretty much daily and I did miss out on a better deal but that's ok I was dragging my feet on making the purchase bc it was the 1st refurbished thing I've bought. So if you see a good deal get it now! Overall I am happy with my purchase so far! I paid $265 for a black iPhone 12 64gb.

What does unlocked phone mean?


An unlocked phone is any mobile phone that is not tied to a specific carrier or network provider. These carrier-free phones can be used with any compatible carrier or network provider, as opposed to locked phones that can only be used with a specific carrier network like Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile.

Opting for a fully unlocked smartphone, whether it's an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel or any other model, gives you more flexibility to choose any phone service that gives you the best coverage or saves you the most money. It's also a great option when you need a temporary network provider while travelling internationally.

Locked vs Unlocked iPhone

Other popular questions about unlocked phones?

What is a GSM unlocked phone?


If you came here looking for a phone that's GSM unlocked, you might be wondering how that's different from an unlocked cell phone. While unlocked phones can connect to any carrier, a GSM unlocked phone is only compatible with carriers that use GSM (Global System for Mobiles) networks. As such, an unlocked GSM phone may not work on CDMA carriers like Verizon or Spectrum. Popular GSM carriers in the US include AT&T, T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Cricket, Tracfone and Simple Mobile. You can also find GSM carriers abroad, in case you're interested in temporarily activating a SIM card while you're travelling outside the US.

What is a SIM-free phone?


SIM-free phones are simply phones that are sold without a network SIM-card, which is an identity chip that ties your smartphone to a network. These phones can either be locked, meaning you'll need to get a specific carrier's SIM card to activate it, or unlocked meaning you can activate your phone using a SIM card from any compatible network.

Are there any disadvantages to buying an unlocked phone?


The biggest disadvantage is that some carriers will not fully support it. That means if you run into any technical or network issues, there's a chance that your carrier can't help you. Generally, phones that are locked to a specific carrier will perform better and sometimes even offer more network features like Wi-Fi calling. Don't let this completely deter you, if you've already found an unlocked mobile phone that you like - your carrier will still let you use their network, so you'll still be able to make calls and send texts.
