They give you a high price for your trade in, I bascially gave them a brand new phone, as in still has the stickers on and they cut it down by half as it does not have warranty + not as decribed (not a blemish on it)

What a waste of time

Hi Pardeep,

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience to you and thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding your trade-in valuation.

We strive to provide fair and accurate offers based on the specific, verifiable history of each device. While we appreciate that the device appeared physically new and had its original stickers intact, our system diagnostics identified it as a twice-replaced unit. Because replacement devices carry a different valuation than standard retail units and because the manufacturer’s warranty status is only fully confirmed upon activation we had to adjust our initial offer to reflect the device’s actual history.

As you chose not to accept this revised valuation, we have processed the return of your device to you. We understand this may be disappointing, and we appreciate your time in working with us. We wish you the very best.

Kind regards,
The Mobile Direct Team

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear about your experience.

After receiving your review, our team immediately checked all of our communication channels, including our customer support inbox and other contact platforms. We were unable to find any emails from you at that time.

Our team then contacted you directly by email to investigate the matter further. During our conversation, we established that your emails had been sent to no-reply@mobiledirectonline.co.uk, which is the automated email address used to send order confirmations.

Please note that this is a system-generated no-reply email address and is not monitored by our customer support team, which is why we did not receive your messages. This is clearly indicated by the email address itself.

Once we became aware of the issue, our team contacted you promptly and assisted you in resolving your request.

We sincerely apologise for the misunderstanding and appreciate the opportunity to clarify what happened.

Kind regards,

Great Products and Great Service

Having been an Apple user for a long time I wanted to swap to Android after reading different reviews.
I purchased a Google Pixel 10 which arrived promptly and was in perfect condition. After a couple of weeks I decided I wasn't getting on with Android and contacted Mobile Direct and asked if I could swap the P10 for an iPhone 16 which they promptly agreed to so I bought a iPhone 16 first so I could txfr my data from the Pixel 10 to iPhone and then returned the Pixel 10 and Mobile Direct promptly refunded me for the Pixel 10.
All the way through this process the communication and advice was brilliant from their support team and made me feel that it was no trouble at all to do what I wanted to do.
Hence 5 stars for both Product and Service.
Thankyou Mobile Direct for great service.

I should have read the reviews first!

I should have read the reviews first!

I'm sure they're fine if you buy a phone off them, but honestly dont trade your phone in. Was offered £582, which of course puts them 'just' above all other trade in companies. Phone is pristine. Of course, got an email shortly after receiving saying 'we have revised our offer to £381 because of the condition of your phone'. Their main reason (lol) was because it had 'a number of battery cycles'. So unless you're trading a phone in that you've never used, they'll con you.

The trick here is, they have good trustpilot reviews because of the other side of the business.

Honestly, do not trade in with this company. Its just a scam, and most people cant be bothered with the hassle of getting the phone back. I've learn my lesson, just put it on Facebook and you'll get the same sort of money anyway.

Edit: Their response is also factually incorrect, there’s no wear to the screen or the sides of the phone, it’s in absolutely fantastic condition. I’ve sold it to a different company who were more than happy paying £550 for it.

Again, please check their trade in reviews. They are solely 1*. I’ve complained to trustpilot as it gives an inaccurate review score.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience.

We would like to clarify that, upon receiving your device, our inspection identified slight wear to the sides and back, slight wear to the screen, and a high battery cycle count, which had contributed to a reduction in the battery's overall condition. As a result, the device did not meet the condition category originally selected (Excellent).

Please note that, to qualify as Excellent condition, a device must be free from visible signs of wear and have no noticeable wear to the screen. The wear observed during our inspection meant that the device did not meet this category, as detailed in the inspection report provided.

Our valuations are always based on the actual condition of the device at the time of inspection, and we have photographic evidence available to support our assessment should you wish to review it.

As part of our efforts to reach a fair outcome, we provided a revised valuation based on the inspection findings, as the device was assessed within our Very Good condition category.

We always aim to be transparent and fair in our assessments, and we value customer feedback. We also believe it is important that valuations accurately reflect the condition of the devices received, helping to ensure a fair process for all parties.

If you would like to discuss your case further, we would be happy to review the inspection findings with you and share the supporting evidence.

Terrible, do not trust these people with your phone. How can a brand new phone unopened in the package be offered a lower price than quoted? If you want a trustworthy service DO NOT USE!!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience.

We would like to clarify that the revised offer was not related to the physical condition of the device. During our verification process, we were unable to verify ownership of the device using the documentation provided. In addition, there were associated insurance and network-related considerations that prevented us from proceeding with the original quoted valuation.

As a result, a revised offer was issued in line with our assessment and verification procedures.

We always aim to be transparent and fair in our assessments, and we value customer feedback. We also believe it is important that valuations accurately reflect the condition and verification status of the devices received, helping to ensure a fair process for all parties.

If you would like to discuss your case further, we would be happy to review the inspection findings with you and share the supporting evidence.
