The Mobile Cash Mate reviews on our site are mixed, although you will find some very positive feedback below, written by TopCashback members who sold their mobile phone to them through us. There are comments like “quick sale, would recommend” while someone else wrote: “Very fast and efficient estimate, which was very close to online quote before they had seen the phone. Cashback was paid within the stated timescale — great service.”

It is a similar story on Trustpilot. You will find good Mobile Cash Mate review feedback, but you will have to search for it. One happy customer stated: “The price for my phone was the best available, the free pack arrived quickly and the payment was received within a few days of sending the phone to them — the full amount offered was received.”

There is plenty of other good feedback, including comments like “I found them a pleasure to deal with, would use them again”, “excellent service. Fast and great communication, and I was given what I was promised” and “very quick and hassle-free. Also gave a better price than similar companies”. Another Mobile Cash Mate customer said: “Always kept in contact and offered me a fair price for my phone. This was completely hassle-free and I received my money on the same day I accepted my quote.” Review this merchant

Fast service and payment - however, as always they didn't pay anywhere near the amount they originally offered but overall - still happy with the service and what i got. Thanks

Cashback eventually tracked following claim (took just over a month to track)

Have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I've used a few of the different mobile recycling companies in the past, but these seem to be the most organised; posted the phone on Monday, received an email re-negotiating the offer on Tuesday (and it was a really fair offer as well), and had the cash in my bank account on Friday. Would definitely consider using these again.

I had a few mobile phones that I no longer needed, and looked at many retailers to compare offers before sending any of them. Out of all those handsets, which were all working and in good if not excellent state, I had a Nokia 6303 Classic which I wasn't even sure if I wanted to sell, as it was as good as new, even still have its original box that it came in, and all its accessories, still shiny and brand new, hardly used. Mobile Cash Mate offered on their website the best price for it. The other models that I had were in a less perfect state, and were priced higher on other websites, so I sent them to best buyer, and sent the 6303 to Mobile Cash Mate. They were the first to reply with a message saying they received the phone and it has scratches on the screen and the outer casing, and its value dropped from the £25 advertised on their website, to a £20 take it or leave it. It was my first time so I thought they would all be doing the same, and I agreed to the £20, although I knew exactly the state of the phone and how new it was, and had bubble wrapped it myself before sending. The surprise was that, all other retailers came back to me when they received the other phones, saying a payment has been sent with the exact same price they had on their website for a working mobile of the same model, without any complaints about scratches or marks, although some of them did have those. Bottom line, Other retailers might offer higher, similar, or even lower amounts than MCM for the same models, but it seems that they just pay what they said they would, providing the phones are in good state, while MCM seems to offer a lesser amount anyway, no matter how good the condition is, once the phone has been received by them. Add to that no tracking of the cashback showing on the account, and the need to submit a claim for it, which I just did. I wouldn't recommend MCM unless you are selling them a brand new mobile in its original sealed box, and still don't mind to be paid less tha

GOBSMACKED!! I sent off a perfect phone and like most other people in this forum got told there were scratches on the case and on the phone! They knocked off 25% off the offered price! This is the only site i've seen this tactic with! If they want a brand new phone out of the box for the 'not really that competitive' offer price then they need to state this! Wasted my time in the hope I was desperate enough to suck it up! The phone came back with a 2 inch scratch on the screen that wasn't there to begin with! I guess this was to try and endorse their trump up inspection! DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!

Like so many of other reviewers - when they get the phone they give nowhere near the price offered when you fill in the online form. I rejected the offer and asked return of my phone - their response was they'll send it back Royal Mail within 7 days or, of course, I could pay £10.00 and they'll send it straight back. I don't care if I get nothing for the phone, I hate being misled and out of principle I'll have my phone back. Let's face it, it's phone recycling and hardly unlikely that any phone will be in it's original condition - the phone I sent back was used very little, never been dropped or damaged and was in as good a condition as you could get for a used phone. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE PEOPLE!

Money offered was cut in half for my phone after they received it. I asked for it to be sent back as I was not happy with a tenner for a working Samsung galaxy mini gt. Nearly two weeks later I'm still waiting for my phone. Not happy...

Be very careful of this Merchant.They hook you in with a good price on your old phone, only to then make a ridiculous low offer with excuses like scratches,chipped paint,etc.Having read some of the other reviews,they seem to do this quite often.They offered me £12 for a good condition working Nokia 6310i which had a few paint chips to the outer casing but nothing major.Taking into consideration the phone was 5 years old,it's entitled to have a few knocks.They offered me a miserly £5 which I think is a total rip off and I will be asking them to return the phone to me.I don't like companies that operate like this as it is sharp tactics.So Cashback lovers you have been warned.Don't waste your time with this Merchant.

Topcash tracked rapid, MCM sent the FREEPOST bag fast, i sent it back recorded and promptly received a mail telling me there were scratches on the phone! Considering the phone is two weeks old and was bought new as a present i was quite suprised!Therefore my original 'quote' dropped by £15, i have asked for the phone back as am interested to see the scratches, which i have never seen! I recommend taking a picture of your phone before sending, showing condition of casing and IMESH number. I await my return but do not recommend this firm as they seem to constantly drop their 'quote' price.

I’d had positive experiences selling mobile online before, therefore sent my iPhone 6s to MobileCashMate with quote for £200. Subsequently they’d told me the phone screen was damaged - as there was a protector attached when I posted I’d assumed they removed this. After receiving a photo showing the screen crack they offered me £110 - I asked them to return it. My phone turned out to be fine and undamaged - the photo must have been someone else’s handset. Very stressful experience!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I sent them my iPhone 6S as they offered the best price I could find (£160) for the phone in perfect condition - which it was. When I eventually heard back from them, they said that the Sim tray was missing (which it was NOT when I sent it to them) and therefore they could only offer £16.81! I asked for the phone back and - surprise, surprise - when it arrived - no Sim Tray. I bought another Sim tray off Amazon for £1.97, put it in the phone and took it into Carphone Warehouse where they gave me a very good price for it. Lesson learned!

Do Not Use! Offered 69% less than original price, then seemed to go against their own terms and conditions on return policy. This experience cost me over £12! Very poor service

This company will fabricate the value of your handset that you will receive. In my experience they dropped the value considerably while still advertising the same amount on their website. There was nothing at all wrong with my phone but they told me that there was a drop in value on the market. At the moment I am still without my phone as Royal Mail couldn't deliver to me and they returned to sender. This company are refusing to take responsibility claiming they don't have it. My advice is avoid like the plague. Legal action is my only option

Fraudulent company, will reduce the price no matter what. Have read other reviews where they scratched/damaged your phone themselves before returning it.

£100 knocked off the locked in quote for fictitious faults, when asked for them to provide details of their how they reduce price for valuations they won't provide anything. Breeching their own T&Cs by asking you to pay them £10 to send the device back with sufficient insurance! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Take a lower offer from a reputable company and avoid the headache!
