Mobile Cash Mate Reviews

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.” Log in to review

Absolute farce, robbing scheming con merchants DO NOT USE!!!! Sent mobile off in pristine condition for the top price offered only to receive an email offering a fraction of the price as my mobile was chipped and scratched, this is utter nonsense and a complete lie. Judging by the review it's obviously a common scam, this sight was recommended by Martin Lewis's money expert sight, a real sham!!

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...

Typical rip off merchants, promise you one price after receiving and inspecting phone, then try to fob you off with lower offer, Condition must have deteriated whilst with them.

The cash back tracked straight away. The amount was offered was top across all the sites at 23.00 for a blackberry. I then got an email offering me 8.00. I wish I had read the reviews 1st. This is a joke, they said it had starches on the sides and on the screen. This phone was in a leather pouch all the time I had it. It never had a scratch on it at all. I am so annoyed that I have asked them to send me this phone back rather than be ripped off. Let them fork out for the postage. I may keep it as a spare and will never use this company again. I've used others and never had this type of problem.

Terrible Cowboy Company - sent my perfect (2 months old & had been in case) iPhone 4 in without stupidly reading the reviews on this company - and initially said I'd get £87 - they said I'd get £87, confirmed this on delivery, then dropped it to £60 saying there were scratches on the screen and corners of the phone (absolute lies for this pristine phone) - I've just emailed them telling them to return the same phone to me in the same condition, without damaging it on purpose to make out that it was already damaged. Hoping I get a good result & I get it back & they don't steal it. Will keep this site updated with what happens. Really angry and sad about this & gutted I didn't read the reviews but I thought they'd be ok as they were on a price comparison website sellmymobile. DO NOT USE!

I got a better price for my phone than most sites but had to ring them and haggle. They will claim your phone is damaged. BAD

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.

DO NOT USE! Its a complete waste of time. I sent my iphone 4 which was in mint condition. On the website they offered £127. I understand they never normally offer that much but when I received the email from them they offered me £75 due to apparant scratches. If there was any scratches they were certainly minimal and did not warrant a devaluation of £52. My question also is if they are a recycling company why do they care so much about the appearance of your phone? After receiving the offer I requested they send my phone back which they said they would and it would take 5-7 days. However, 2 days after that they offered me a re price meaning that although I had requested they send my phone back they still hadn't! I am still awaiting my phone now and hope to receive it soon.

Sent my phone off (not even that classy - a Galaxy Android but brand new) and eight days later I am still waiting for an email from them to say it has arrived. They told me to contact the post office. As I never paid for tracking (why should you if it's a freepost service?! If they advise it, it's like an admission of guilt - they can just say it 'went missing') I have no idea if it has arrived. They say it hasn't arrived. But that it also might have. But could be 'waiting to be processed.' Which one is it? Anyway safe to say I am rapidly thinking they could be completely fraudulent and need to be investigated by a consumer journo pronto. And taken off ALL money comparison sites (that includes you Moneysavingexpert - you're just as bad for listing this 'company'). They aren't a viable option. Yup - wish I'd read the reviews. I am a Journalist so I will definitely recommend to consumer journo friends to look into this. Or I may even do a piece on scam sites myself. They deserve to be held to account. If you believe in Unicorns or fairy dust this is the company for you. Anyone who wants money in return for recycling decent hardware, go somewhere reputable.

Offered a small proportion of the original agreed amount. Got them to send the phone back and sent it to another site who gave me 100% of the offered amount. Don't waste your time.

Terrible service. Amount offered online was great, but once they receive it the amount dropped like a rock due to perceived small scuffs and scratches - the phone was in really good condition. I rejected the claim and asked for the phone to be returned, only to find upon receipt that it was damaged. Whether this was in transit or deliberately I can only speculate. Treat with caution.

I should have joined this site earlier and read the reports relating this outfit. I sent them two phones, one being an immaculate Samsung S2 with a quoted value of £120.00 the other phone had a value of £20.00. I received a cheque today, three weeks later for only £92.00. AVOID these people at all costs. Having read what they will do, if I ask for the phones to be returned, I will cash the cheque and put it down to experience--!! If enough of us complain, hopefully they will get their just deserts,

Don't use this mobile phone recycle firm. They will not pay the amount quoted on their Internet site and will use the excuse of "scratches etc" to justify it. Also, you will not receive an email from them which telling you of their revised offer. They blame your own system for non delivery of the email and so you cant then get your phone back as they automatically recycle it after 48 hours. You have been warned!!

I sent my mobile to them after having purchased it no more than 3 months ago. However instead of being decent and giving me the money they originally offered me online, they made up some excuse that there was a scratch on the screen of my phone and reduced my payment amount to less than half. My phone was kept in a perfect condition and had a screen protector on from the day I purchased it. I'm a student and don't have much money, so for them to rip me off is simply heartless.

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

Offered a fair market price for my phone which had been kept in a case since day one and apart fro a couple of scuff marks on one edge from insertion into the case was in immaculate condition. To be fair I was expecting a small knock off the offer price because of that, but when the offer came back with 45% knocked off I was shocked. They must think people are right mugs. Lost £7.00 special delivery costs now. Would I use this company again....not a chance!!

DO NOT USE THIS RETAILER. MY PHONE WAS SENT IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND I EXPECTED TO RECEIVE WHAT THEY OFFERED. GOT AN E MAIL OFFERING 20% LESS DUE TO SCRATCHES. WHEN I DECLINED THEIR NEW OFFER IT WAS RETURNED TO ME COVERED IN SCRATCHES.

Do not use this retailer - price quoted was NOT what we received for an immaculate returned mobile. Will not be using them again

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.

Tried this retailer, but wish I didn’t bother. Offered a decent amount of cashback so sent the phone to them. Got an email saying because of scratches they will lower my offer by £20 (around 25%), I said no. Phone was sent back pretty sharpish, but having checked other reviews this seems to be common practice. Went on to send my phone to Fonebank and was offered and paid a higher amount than MCM originally offered.
