Translink mobile phones grading system is one of the best. Each mobile phone goes through strict mandatory testing protocol set up by our specialists. All of our mobile phones come fully unlocked, powered up and data deleted. Before we can sell you a used mobile phone, it is being thoroughly examined by our qualified staff. We need to be sure that our stocks will meet your expectations. Therefore we have prepared a system of testing and grading all mobile phones that enter our warehouse, so that you can be confident that the product will have an accurate description. All mobile phones are checked in order to meet the following criteria:
The phone has to turn ON and OFF without any problems. The overall condition of the display is examined; we check if the display is clean, colours are ok and if there are any bad pixels.
Grade A
These mobile phones are just like new, they have minimal, if any, signs of usage and are fully functional. They often come with a foil on the screen. The difference between an A-grade mobile phone and a brand-new phone is usually the lack of a box, manual, and original accessories.
Grade B
This grade is given for used mobile phones that carry signs of regular use. There is a possibility of the phone having numerous minor scratches on the screen. Phones with this grade have complete housing with all elements present. This is a fully functional mobile phone and, after housing replacement, looks just like a new one.
Grade C
This grade is given to mobile phones with signs of heavy use. Housing faults, which do not influence the cell phone's operation, are possible. Such faults may include the lack of the charge dock cover or the lack of the rubber on side buttons. Please keep in mind that mobile phones have the battery cover and are functional.
Grade D
This grade is for phones with heavier signs of usage. Some of the functions may show intermittent problems but still allow for basic phone communication.
GRADING-SALVAGE or BER
This grade is for mobile phones that require a lot more work to make them operational. Many functions may not work; however, the device might be cannibalized for parts or ultimately be recycled away from landfills.
