We don’t just take a second-hand phone or device, give it a wipe with a tea towel then flick it over to the first smart shopper who slides our way. Each one of our refurbished tech products goes through a detailed inspection process that covers 72 different points. Stuff like checking the buttons work, microphone playback and battery life, to name three of those points.

We also check them against a national police lost and stolen database, so we know they’re legitimate.

Once they’ve passed this industry-leading inspection process, we pop them on our site for sale at bargain prices, with grading information so you can know what you’re getting before you make your order. In addition, we offer a 12-month warranty and 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Risk: minimal.

Finally, with all these devices, we offer a free SIM and free delivery to anywhere in Australia and next-day delivery in metro areas.

You know how most grading systems start with poor, then fair, then good? We skip all that for our refurbished devices, kicking off with VERY GOOD Here’s some specific info on our refurbished grades and what they mean.

Very Good: This device displays more obvious signs of wear such as scratches, blemishes or scuff marks. May have some visible scratches on the screen and/or some scuffing. 100 per cent fully functional.

Excellent: This device may have very faint marks on the screen or the frame. 100 per cent fully functional.

As New: This device has no signs of wear. It’s flawless and in pristine condition. 100 per cent fully functional.

Here’s where you come in, joining the circular economy, reducing waste and earning some extra coin. When you’re ready to replace your old phone or tablet or watch, you can hand it over for us to polish up and move it along to the next happy user.

If you’d like to trade in one or more old devices, download our trade-in app, diagnose your device condition and receive a quote on the spot. We wipe all your data, restoring the device to factory settings, then we refurbish or redistribute it. Even if a device is broken, we can often recycle it for parts.

Either way, we’re committed to keeping electronics out of landfill and maximising their use before they become obsolete

Boost Mobile has full coverage of the Telstra mobile network, which covers more than 99.4 per cent of the Australian population, and more than 2.6 million km2 of Australia. That’s the case for all our refurbished phones

We support phones that are compatible with VOLTE (Voice over LTE) and the 4G 700 MHz band (B28.

We’re talking iPhone, Androids like Samsung Galaxy models, Google Pixel models, Huawei and other brands.

Boost Mobile is the best refurbished site, according to a poll taken among Boost Mobile refurbishers. We offer bargain prices on the latest mobile phones, plus a 12-month warranty and 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all our inspected models.

They’re so good. In fact, as you saw above, they’re very good, excellent and as new. If you’re on a budget, or just a smart shopper who doesn’t want to pay regular price for your tech products, this is a great opportunity to check out all the included latest mobile phones we have on offer.

Refurbished phones are better than grabbing a second-hand phone from some rando. That’s because we take the time to polish them up good and proper. All Boost refurbs undergo an industry-leading inspection to make sure they’re 100% fully functional plus they come with a 12 month warranty so you’re more than covered

Put this way, a second-hand phone is like buying a phone from that guy in the pub. You know the one, the type that says he needs to sell his Samsung Galaxy to buy his cat medicine. Maybe he’s legit or maybe he’s a little bit dodge.

Or maybe you should source your refurbished phones from a place that offers that 72 point check, a 12-month warranty and only the finest used phones. (That’s us [Boost Mobile].)

Refurbished smartphones go through a rigorous process before we put them up for sale. Firstly, we only accept devices that are in great condition. Next, we run them through a 72-point inspection check to make sure they’re suitable for sale. Once we’ve polished them, they’re as good as they can possibly be. All of which is to say, yeah, our refurbished smartphones are meant to last.

Our refurbished smartphones are better than good. Our refurbished phones are gently used devices that have undergone intensive testing and inspection to ensure they’re in top condition. More specifically, we sell second-hand devices at one of three quality levels – As New, Excellent and Very Good. As you can tell from the names, they might have signs of wear but they’re 100% fully functional.
