How to compare phone prices
- Give every dealer the same model, storage, colour if it matters, condition and quantity.
- Ask if the box, charger and cable are included.
- Ask how the price changes with quantity, and how long it's valid.
- Be careful with "same phone" quotes that hide a different variant or an import version.
- Compare the full cost delivered to your shop.
Phone prices move with the dollar and can change within days, so a price from last month doesn't tell you much. Our bulk quote checklist has a request you can copy.
Check before you pay
- Match the IMEI on the box with the one in the phone's settings.
- For used iPhones, make sure the phone is signed out of the previous owner's Apple ID, with Find My switched off.
- Check battery health, screen, cameras and network. Our UK-used iPhone checklist covers each step.
- Test a sample chosen by you, including from the bottom of a carton, and count every unit.
- Get a receipt listing every IMEI, and pay into an account in the dealer's own or business name.
