Dear Garren,
After verification, your transaction has been paid one week ago. You should have received it by now.
Thanks to confirm,

Did not get refund, now no reply to my inquiries.

I got a quote on three phones. All were sent in one package. One credit came through, with no mention of the other two credits. I have emailed my appointed contact twice and have gotten no replies. Highly unprofessional and disrespectful.

Dear Jenny,

We are sorry that you have experienced an issue with your order.

You traded-in a Nokia Lumia and you get paid by Webuymobile.
However, you also sent two Blackberry Z10’s for a value of $10 each to our partner Webuymobile instead of Bestceller. Webuymobile don’t buyback this Blackberry model. You received an email from Webuymobile explaining why they could not pay you for these phones and that you could have it returned.

The best way to have a brand new phone

I bought an iPhone 5s unlocked two weeks ago via cellmefree, I received it 3 days after. The phone arrived in his original boxe, in a perfect shape with all the accessories. I will strongly recommend to all my friends to buy a phone via this website! Cheap prices, fast delivery, good quality in the same time, pretty rare :)

Perfect! Couldn't ask for better service!

Well this is simple, the service I received from cellmefree was perfect. Everything was as expected, the envelope arrived a few days after I agreed to the quote they gave me online and in less than a week I received my check of the amount they promised. Couldn't hope for a smoother transaction! No fuss, just what you expect and even faster! Great follow up and customer service. Thanks!!

Cell me free saved my life!

One week ago, my Iphone 5 broke up.
Thanks to Cellmefree, I got a 5S immediately for a very cheap price that functions perfectly. Their service and professionalism is the best on the market.
I would definitely and blindly recommend this company.

THANK YOU!

confused my phone with another

Comunication was terrible. I had to contact them each step of the way for updates. A full week after they received my phone I received an e-mail stating my phone had water damage and it would cost me 10.00 if I wanted it back. My phone was in perfect condition when I sent it in. After several e-mails back and forth with someone who insisted this was the correct situation, 3 days later I finally received an e-mail from someone who apologized for the mix up and promised me my check was in the mail. Which it was. Horrible experience and I was sure I was being scammed for my I-phone. They did make it right in the end but the comunication and organization was terrible and the process took 3 weeks from start to finish. I would not use them again

Dear Karen,
We apologize if you did not have a positive experience with cellmefree.com. It is never our intention to disappoint a customer. However we fixed our mistake immediately (it was during week end). The whole process didn’t take 3 weeks. You received your phone on November 7th and your check was mailed out on November 18th.

Highly Recommended!

This process couldn't have been easier! They gave me the quote, sent me the kit, I mailed it in, got my money! I did have a few questions for customer service during the process and they always answered me within a few hours. Will do business with again!

Phone in okay condition

The headphones were a bit messed up, there is something clicking when I play music. The phone wasn't in the best condition, but still was very good.

Amazing Service

I bought several phones from this company and their service was outstanding. They even made an effort to meet me at my workplace to deliver the phone. Units worked perfectly

I will be using them again and already recommended to colleagues.
