Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair my phone or buy a new one?
A common rule of thumb is that if the repair cost is more than 30-50% of the price of a comparable new or refurbished phone, replacing is usually the better financial choice, especially for an older device.
Does the age of my phone matter in this decision?
Yes - an older phone may soon face software support cutoffs or additional hardware issues, so spending a lot on repair for an aging device is often less worthwhile than for a newer one.
What repairs are usually worth doing?
Battery replacements and screen repairs are often worth it since they're relatively affordable and restore full usability, especially on phones less than 2-3 years old.
