Why should I buy a phone from OzMobiles? Is OzMobiles Trustworthy? - OzMobiles
We love offering value to Aussie's and want to share some insights from the industry and how we operate.

Telstra, Vodafone and Optus have some awesome deals on NEW phones on plans, but if your looking for a Pre-Owned / Used / Second Hand / Refurbished mobile phone you've come to the right place.

Apple also sell refurbished phones, but mostly new phones. Buying Refurbished is the most sustainable way to go these days.


Unlike marketplaces such as Catch.com.au, eBay, Kogan - we buy our stock locally, and own the process from start to finish.

Sourced locally, tested locally, packed locally, shipped from the heart of Melbourne any supported with local staff. We have a team of experts that know what a good quality phone looks like, and know how to support and advise if something goes wrong.

We buy, test, grade, check, clean, pack and support you if anything goes wrong. So not only are you getting huge savings on your next refurbished device, but you're also getting a superb buying experience - just like if you were to buy brand new from the big stores. 

Still not sold? Here are 14 reasons why you should trust and buy from OzMobiles: 

1. We have over 20 years experience

We have been operating in the mobile phone space for 20 years, and specialise in sourcing the best value possible for anyone looking for a great smartphone deal. We have sold to over 300,000 customers over the last 10 years, most of our customers are repeat customers for a reason. Success for us is you coming back to buy a phone again, and again. We will always go out of our way for repeat customers, if you check our reviews you will see what people are really saying about OzMobiles.

2. Over 10,000+ Trusted Reviews

We have over 10,000 TrustPilot ratings and not only do we sell and own the phones that we're selling, we procure them, we test them, we grade them ourselves, we pack them and support after sales service. We understand how to support customers when things go wrong, because we have purchased the devices ourselves and understand what we're selling.

3. 12-Month Warranty (Option to extend to 24-month warranty)

Every device that you purchase will come with a 12 month warranty, so at any time you encounter any issues with your device, our customer service team will be more than happy to assist you.

You also have the option to extend it to 24 months at just a small cost.

Our 24 month OzMobiles extra care warranty will also cover you if you accidentally physically damage your phone for a small service fee, details available in our terms and condition page.

On top of that, most of our high end devices like our iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 not only come with a 12 month warranty from OzMobiles, but can be returned to Apple for any manufacturing faults as they will still have the remaining Apple warranty. Just head to the genius bar around Australia, you can book support here.

Why would you want to buy a phone anywhere else, that does not have Apple warranty and genuine original parts?

4. Great service - SAME DAY FREE EXPRESS SHIPPING (Before 12.30pm)

5. 30 Day FREE easy returns

We want our customers to be happy, and know that the only way we can continue to sell cheap phones is to have customers that love our products, love saving money and love the after sales service that they tell their friends and family about their experience.

This is why we offer everyone free 30 day easy returns, because we're so sure you will be happy with our grading and service, and we want you to feel secured when you purchase from us.

You might be unsure of the condition of the phone, so rest assured if your not happy you can get in touch with us from our Help centre and request a refund.

6. Our products are sourced LOCALLY

We are proud that all of our phones are sourced LOCALLY, mostly from Australian Trade-In and Buy-Back programs.

This means that the quality of the phone you get will be far superior from that of an overseas device.

Beware of Overseas Device(s)
We sell only Australian Stock, unike other shonky second hand online shops we only use genuine manufacturing parts. Be careful when buying from online marketplaces such as ebay.com.aumydeal.com.au or Kogan.com.au as you may end up with an inferior mobile phone from overseas, that does not work well with Australian networks, has non-genuine parts which will wear out quickly.

There are a lot of cheap overseas knockoffs which may appear to be a great deal at first, but will have messages coming up when you turn them on about certain parts being non-genuine such as a battery or an inferior LCD. These will deteriorate very quickly and leave you out of pocket.

Don't risk it, ask your seller - "Are your products Australian, locally sourced?" If not, you know why it's cheap :-)

You spend a lot of your time using your phone, why risk it with an inferior knock off from overseas
