WHY THE SERVICE EXISTS
Useful technology should not stay forgotten in a drawer.
3unused devices in the average Brit's home
Information Commissioner's Office research also found that 29% of UK adults did not know how to wipe personal information from old technology. The first useful step is therefore clarity, not pressure.

IT MATCHES
The quotation can be confirmed.
You can add the device to your cart and continue with the quoted amount.
SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT
The reason and next step are clear.
If the model, function or condition differs, we explain why before you decide what happens next.
Received and matched
A recorded check, not a guess
WHEN TECHNOLOGY REACHES US
A careful arrival deserves a clear outcome.
Sending a mobile phone means trusting someone else with both the item and the decision. The receiving process should make that responsibility visible.
Receive and match
The parcel and its contents are matched so the right device is checked against the right order.
Inspect what arrived
Identity, function, condition, account locks and relevant device-status information are checked.
Record a clear outcome
The result moves towards quote confirmation, a customer decision or the agreed payment method.
A USEFUL NEXT LIFE
The next step depends on what the technology can still do.
Reuse comes first. Repair, parts or material recovery follow when needed.
Continue in use
A suitable working mobile phone or device can continue doing its original job.
Repair or recover parts
Repair or useful parts may retain value when direct reuse is not suitable.
Recover materials
An approved route can recover materials when reuse or repair is unsuitable.
WHO WE ARE FAQS
Questions before you begin.
Clear answers about what we buy, quotations and what happens after technology arrives.
Find my deviceWhat is We Buy Back?
We Buy Back is a UK online service that buys accepted mobile phones, tablets, laptops and smart watches from people and organisations. The customer is the seller and We Buy Back is the buyer.
Which devices do you buy?
Our main categories are mobile phones, tablets, laptops and smart watches. Search for the exact model because acceptance and quotes depend on the product and variation currently listed.
Can I sell a damaged mobile phone?
Some damaged phones and devices can still receive a quotation. Choose the condition honestly and describe known faults. Acceptance remains subject to exact product eligibility and inspection.
Is the online quotation final?
The online amount is a pre-inspection quotation based on the exact device details and condition selected. If the received device matches that description, the quotation can be confirmed after inspection.
What happens if my device is different from my description?
If inspection finds a genuine difference in model, variation, function or condition, the reason should be explained and the next customer decision made clear before the order continues.
Do you buy mobile phones and devices from businesses?
Yes. Businesses can use our dedicated Business Recycling page for company phones, mixed technology, larger quantities and collection requirements.
What if my device has no cash value?
An eligible device may be offered a free responsible recycling route. If neither a paid nor an approved recycling route is available, we tell you before an order is placed.
