Poor service – I recently purchased a phone from Collect Mobile and unfortunately, it has not worked properly from the beginning. When I tried to cancel my sim plan due to this issue, I was met with extremely poor service. The company only had one person working and they were so busy that I was unable to cancel my plan. This is unacceptable for a company that… Read more

claims to provide quality service to its customers. I would not recommend Collect Mobile to anyone looking for a reliable phone provider. Their service is subpar and their customer support is lacking. Save yourself the headache and go with a different company.

Not great, paid $150.00 for a product that is has numerous faults and is not useable – I purchased a refurbished Samsung S7 Phone through this company, shortly before Christmas. This afternoon I opened up the package to get the phone working, before I return to work tomorrow morning. Almost as soon as I turned the phone on, I could see there were issues. Firstly, the language was set to German, so I think the android operating… Read more

system, may be international and not set here for Australia? (Which can create problems, right from the get-go) I changed the language to English, but there is STILL clearly an issue with the android operating system (it would constantly state that the android system was uploading and do this over and over again) Then I could not get past the create a Samsung account and then sign in with your Samsung account (even though I went through all the steps and did, actually successfully create a Samsung User Account (I have email proof to verify this) and then there is the fact the phone gets very hot, and finally the battery is not charging and the charge that was left in the phone, completely died, turning the whole damn thing off!!! I have wasted my entire afternoon into the evening trying to get this product to work. I am flabbergasted that this product got through ANY quality checks at all! I got the phone (roughly two and half weeks ago) and have not attempted to use it until today...........so other than attempt to get it to operate, it is done nothing.......I have not even been able to make a single phone call on the damned thing!!! NOT good enough CELLECT!!! You need to send your customers products, that are FIT FOR PURPOSE!!!

Excellent after sale – The phone was as described in excellent condition. There was a minor issue with the battery but they changed it and the phone was promptly returned. I will recommend Cellect for your phones as they offer peace of mind. And will recommend to my friends.  Show details

Getting What You Pay For :) – Going through Cellect meant I wasn’t going to be paying an arm and a leg for literally the same device that I’ve been eyeing off! Description stated that the phone screen had minor scratches which you can’t see after a screen protector, full battery life and everything in tip top condition. I was extremely happy when I received my IPhone 11 Pro… Read more

that it was exactly what I knew I was getting. No disappointment going through Cellect where I have recommended my partner to upgrade his phone through as well.

Good refurbished phone, but had an undisclosed fault – I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 - the phone was pretty good overall, but the headphone port doesn't work. I was still using my old phone for about 6 months after this purchase, so I didn't realise until it was too late to return. I would probably buy again, but I'd be sure to check everything works straight away. Show details

Iphone 6 – We received an iphone 6 in perfect condition however immediately we had issues with the battery. Over heating, not retaining charge. We contacted cellect and advised to send the phone back by startrack express. The phone was returned in a padded bag. On return the phone was damaged by the courier and now being charged $120 to repair a screen… Read more

Minus 10, rip off morons – I received a faulty Samsung S8, the speaker didn't work when talking on the phone and their where 4 lines randomly appearing on some apps. I reported it within 24hrs of receiving the phone. After some negotiations I had to buy a new phone, to transfer my data before sending it back. After purchasing an s8 Active through them, I returned the… Read more

phone. Due to covid restrictions etc there where delays. I requested a full refund for original phone, but they said I wasn't entitled to a full refund because I didn't return it within 30 days!!! I've spoke with every arrogant moron up to management and they all repeat the same jargon like parrots. I explain my situation etc, in detail and no rapport no compassion. Just repeating parrots about their nonsense 30 day policy. I've had to go through consumer protection to request a refund. 1300 304 054 Under Australian consumer rights they're in the wrong, as it's up to the consumer to choose whether they want a refund or credit or a replacement. No matter they're said polices they politely arrogantly try to rip you off through. Do not do business with these morons!!! I tried my best to get a refund and look after an Aussie business, but they are greedy painful rip offs. You don't want to go through the frustrating stressful ordeal I'm going through!!!

Great services and great phone – I purchased an iphone Xs in pristine condition - the phone was pretty good overall but it was an international version and I couldn't disable the camera shutter sound. Kyle helped me to swap a new phone that has no shutter sound. I am really satisfied with their customer services. I have been using my phone for a week now. It is still in amazing condition. Thank you so much for your help, Kyle! Show details

Excellent seller – Received my phone very promptly within 2 working days in excellent condition as advertised, great customer service as i called prior to ordering to confirm they had the phone in stock as the website i ordered through (Kogan) said 'low stock' and i got through to the customer service operator within a minute of calling and they provided friendly… Read more

service. I was hesitant of buying a refurbished phone however my pleasant experience has me recommending this seller and will be shopping at Cellect Mobile in the future for my phone purchases. One thing i would recommend Cellect Mobile incorporate on their website is Afterpay as a payment method in order to make purchasing more accessible to everyday customers so as not to have to search and buy through an alternative marketplace seller that offers Afterpay such as Kogan.

I was told that as soon as they receive the order it would be packed and ready to go express post which I paid extra for. I purchased the phone on the 26th may early morning expecting it to… Read more

Repeat Customer – Always quality goods and positive interactions. Ordered a Gold Galaxy S7 used and marked in Good Condition. When I received the phone I thought it was a new one as it didn't have a mark or scratch on it. Inserted my SIM card and loaded the required Apps and it was good to go, haven't had an issue since. 00% would use Cellect again and probably will soon for a second mobile phone Show details

Love it! – Hi All Happy to write a quick review I was delighted with the fast delivery and the phone itself. It works great and the screen is clear an crisp.

With the screen protector on… Read more

Highly recommend! – Purchased an android last year with no regrets. It was like buying a new phone. Im not a tech savy person and the whole process was delightfully easy and successful.

Fantastic price - no problems with refurbished IPAD – Purchased a refurbished IPAD from Cellect last year. I was a little skeptical and hoped I had not wasted my money. Well, I can advise, after 8 months, the IPAD hasn't had any problems. (I am posting this review now as I thought it would give a clearer and more true-to-fact appraisal of the product). It was originally purchased as a gift for… Read more

hubby to use as a camera as he is getting older. It is easy for him to use as he is almost 70 and smaller camera screens were not practical. The IPAD is also great to take with him when he travels. The customer service, fast delivery and most importantly, the FANTASTIC PRICE made Cellect a wonderful choice. Thankyou!!
