Broadband and mobile operator EE (BT) has this morning launched its new refurbished smartphone range with airtime, featuring iPhone and Samsung smartphones – priced from £31 per month – and claiming to offer customers a “high-quality, more sustainable and cost-effective way to upgrade“.
The range comes with extended warranty included for peace of mind, as well as using manufacturer approved parts, and a 40% discount on airtime plans for students. The devices are all available on “up to” 36 month Flex Pay agreements to spread the cost of the handset over a prolonged period. Every phone is also said to be “rigorously checked” and “tested” before being sent out.
The device inspection is said to include a 53-point quality check, which verifies everything from battery health and camera precision to ports and speakers. Every phone also arrives in recycled EE-branded packaging with a genuine charging cable.
Sharon Meadows, MD Marketing & Commercial, EE said:
“Our new range of refurbished smartphone Flex Pay plans makes great technology accessible to more people, in a way that helps both budgets and the planet. Refurbished is no longer a second choice, it’s now mainstream, with younger customers leading the way when it comes to thrifty, sustainable choices. Our launch will give them and consumers across the UK, total confidence they’re getting a high-quality device, backed by EE’s extended warranty and award-winning support, along with access to the UK’s best network.”
At the time of writing the page for the new service wasn’t yet live, but it should go live on their website sometime this morning.
