Retrofone have five years experience in the used mobile handset market providing consumers and businesses with good quality mobile handsets. As part of our wider telecoms group we sell 20,000 used handsets per month to a wealth of contacts throughout the UK and Europe. We provide mobile phones for individuals who have lost their handsets on the train, business people who need a cost effective replacement, old romantics who crave for something different, or people who just want something that’s plain good value.

We pride ourselves on the provision of an enjoyable shopping experience, allowing consumers to browse and learn about the evolution of the mobile phone, whilst looking for their preferred handset. Perhaps most importantly we want to ensure that we provide a wide selection of handsets at very competitive prices.

Retrofone is aimed at a growing number of businesses and individuals who want to buy unusual, discontinued, or valuable mobile phones. The mobile phones are split into two distinct groups, working and non working. The website currently shows just digital working handsets using a small sim. However, over the next few weeks we will be expanding the site to include older handsets which are becoming increasingly popular amongst collectors and mobile phone enthusiasts, despite the fact that they no longer work on today’s GSM networks.

Rare early models are now changing hands for several hundred pounds and becoming increasingly sought after. Even the not so rare are popular sellers with companies buying them for props, or nostalgic individuals purchasing them for their mantelpiece, or as presents for friends and relatives. We will be providing an index and images of all our handsets dating from 1987 to the present day (analogue and digital) so look out for this from February 2005

All working handsets are unlocked to all GSM service providers (unless otherwise stated), allowing them to be used on any network in the UK or Europe (Vodafone, O2 etc) With an unlocked phone all you have to do is take the sim out of your existing handset and place it in your new phone, ensure the battery is charged, and the handset is then ready to use.

All Retrofone handsets come with a charger, battery and a link to phone manuals and are sold in excellent condition with a one month ‘return to base’ warranty.
