Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about our Certified Refurbished phones, warranties, trade-ins, and store visits

Q: Are the phones brand new or refurbished?

Our catalog specializes in Certified Refurbished and quality-tested pre-owned flagships (Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Ultra, OnePlus, Google Pixel, etc.). Every phone undergoes an exhaustive 32-point hardware and software diagnostic check to guarantee 100% genuine components, optimal performance, and pristine aesthetics at massive savings compared to brand-new retail prices.

Q: What physical condition are your refurbished phones in?

We maintain Bangalore’s strictest cosmetic standards, offering primarily Pristine (Like New) and Superb grade devices. Screen glass is scratch-free, camera lenses are flawless, and battery health is tested to be 85% or higher.

Q: Do refurbished phones come with warranty?

Yes! Every certified refurbished smartphone from The Phone Store is protected by our The Phone Store Warranty and includes an immediate 7-Day Functional Replacement Guarantee. Select recently activated units may also carry remaining official brand manufacturer warranty.

Q: Can I test the phone before purchasing?

Yes, we strongly encourage it! You are welcome to visit our Bangalore showroom at Ground Floor Room 2 & 3, Old 127 V Cross Cambridge Road, Someshwarapuram, Bangalore 560008. You can inspect the screen, test the cameras, check battery health, and handle the device in person before completing your purchase.

Q: How does the old phone exchange program work?

Bring or send your existing smartphone for a quick 15-minute diagnostic evaluation. We calculate Bangalore’s top fair-market valuation, which you can apply instantly as a discount toward any certified refurbished flagship or receive as an immediate bank/UPI payout.

Q: Is my personal data safe when I trade in my old phone?

100% safe. We guide you through account sign-out and perform a certified cryptographic factory wipe (NIST 800-88 standard) in front of you, making previous data recovery technically impossible.

Q: How does shipping and delivery work across India?

We offer 100% Insured Pan-India Express Delivery via Blue Dart Air, Delhivery Prime, and DTDC. Metros and tier-1 cities receive deliveries within 2–3 business days. Bangalore local orders are dispatched the same day within 4–8 hours.

Q: What payment options are accepted?

We accept all UPI applications (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM), Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, RuPay), Net Banking, and Store Cash. Credit card EMI options are available.
