🧳 08:00 — Drop-Off Day
Location: Customer return / Trade-in / Upgrade
A device gets handed in. It might be:
-
A two-year-old iPhone that’s just been replaced with a newer model
-
A barely-used Samsung passed down but never activated
-
A work phone retired from corporate life
Some are scratched. Some are perfect. All are about to glow up.
🔍 09:30 — Health Check & Diagnosis
Location: GRADE MOBILE Tech Lab
This is where the transformation begins. Each phone goes through a full 60+ point inspection. We test:
-
Screen brightness and touch sensitivity
-
Battery health and charge cycles
-
Microphones, speakers, and cameras
-
Buttons, ports, haptic feedback, and Face/Touch ID
-
Signal reception, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS
Phones that fail? They're either repaired or responsibly recycled.
🧼 11:00 — Deep Clean + Cosmetic Restoration
Location: Clean zone (think: tech spa)
Every phone is:
-
Sanitised and deep cleaned
-
Buffed and polished
-
Given a fresh outer shell if needed
-
Fitted with screen protectors or replaced screens for a new-phone feel
We don’t just make it work — we make it shine.
🔄 13:00 — Data Wipe & Reset
Location: Security-certified wipe station
Using GDPR-compliant, military-grade software, we:
-
Completely erase all personal data
-
Restore the device to factory settings
-
Run integrity checks to confirm no traces remain
Your new refurb is as fresh as a brand-new device — just without the carbon guilt.
🧪 14:30 — Final Testing & Quality Control
This is the moment of truth.
Only devices that pass every check are approved to go back out into the world. Those that don’t? They’re either upgraded or responsibly dismantled for parts.
Because every phone deserves either a second life — or a sustainable send-off.
📦 15:30 — Reboxed, Repackaged, Ready to Ship
We pair the device with:
-
Charging cables
-
New packaging
-
A 12-month warranty
-
And that signature “why didn’t I do this sooner?” feeling
Once boxed, it’s officially a GRADE MOBILE refurb — and it’s on its way to a new home (possibly yours).
🌍 17:00 — New Owner, New Life
A phone that might’ve ended up in landfill is now:
-
Scrolling TikTok in a uni flat
-
Taking selfies on a city break
-
Syncing health data to a smartwatch
-
Sending love notes, memes, CVs, and job offers
That’s the magic of circular tech. That’s the GRADE MOBILE difference.
💬 Final Thought: More Than Just a “Used Phone”

-
💸 Save you serious cash
