Our process

Certified repair. Not a cosmetic wipe-down.

Wholecellers phones are rebuilt inside an OEM-certified repair facility by technicians trained to Samsung and Apple standards. Here's exactly what happens to every device.

Samsung Level 3

Certified Samsung repair facility

Level 3 is Samsung's highest tier of authorized service, covering advanced board-level and component repair, not just screens and batteries.

Apple Certified

Certified Apple repair facility

iPhones are repaired and validated by a certified Apple repair facility using approved procedures and tooling.

Step by step

From intake to in-box.

Intake and verification

Each device is serialized, checked for blacklist, lock and finance status, and logged into inventory.

Secure data wipe

All personal data is permanently erased before any work begins.

Full diagnostics

Display, touch, cameras, speakers, microphones, buttons, sensors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular and charging are tested.

Certified repair

Failed components are repaired or replaced by certified technicians using quality-controlled parts.

Battery verification

Battery health is measured. Batteries below our threshold are replaced.

Grade, QA and pack

A second technician confirms function, assigns a cosmetic grade and packs the phone for shipment.

Condition grades

Every grade works perfectly.

Best
Premium

Looks virtually new. No visible scratches on the screen or body when held at arm's length.

Excellent

Light signs of use on the body. Screen free of noticeable scratches.

Good

Visible wear on the body and possible light screen marks. Best value, same full function.

Better for the planet

Every refurbished phone keeps a working device in use and out of the waste stream.

Your privacy, protected

Previous owners' data is permanently erased. Your new phone starts clean.

Ready out of the box

Charged, tested and ready to activate the day it arrives.
