The offering is completed with SIM-free phones, accessories — chargers and cables, headphones, cases, screen protectors and smart devices and watches — and a service to trade in your old phone as part of the payment.

Refurbished handsets and promotions

A significant part of the catalogue consists of premium refurbished phones, with Apple and Samsung models that the store presents as a money-saving alternative to new handsets. The website also shows featured offers with discounts, data boosts and cashback promotions on specific models, as well as a block of most popular handsets. The published prices combine a monthly instalment and an upfront payment, with annual price review clauses depending on the operator.

Customer service and business structure

The site has a call centre for enquiries and a help and support area, as well as an order tracking service. The business operates through the online store, with handsets and contracts managed by the partner networks. The company maintains a presence on social platforms, although the links are listed separately in the directory profile.
