Delivery was quick as a flash and everything was fine. The phone was top-notch, just as described. However, the phone was set to Spanish. It was just as well that I can speak the language and was able to follow the instructions, at least until I’d set everything up in German.

The ordering process was very simple and the mobile phone arrived after a few days. The language was Spanish, but I was able to change it to German using Google Translate. All in all, a great way to get a good, affordable mobile phone.

First phone for my 12 year old son: it's exactly what we expected! the phone is clean and well cared for; it works correctly; for the moment the battery works well, but its life remains to be seen with time.... in any case we're very satisfied with the purchase and above all with the value for money. Well done guys ;-)

I ordered a mobile phone in excellent condition. It's not at all. It has scratches on the screen and the casing. At most, it's in good condition. But I'm keeping the phone because it works well and returning it seems like too much hassle.

Order and delivery excellent. When I turned it on, I selected Italian and everything seemed okay, but using the keyboard is impossible because I can't change the language from English to Italian. In the language input section, an 'update in progress' icon appears, and then nothing happens.

Older model that suits me perfectly but impossible to change the keyboard to azerty. It's a Spanish phone with a UK language. I'll have to adapt. The device was delivered on time, well packaged and in perfect condition. Thank you for this. Sincerely
