Can I sell my broken phone in Cairns City?
Yes. Cracked, faulty and dead phones still have value. Many repair shops buy them, and Tilow repairers make an instant offer online.
How are these shops ranked?
Independent shops only: no carrier stores, big-box retailers or chains. A shop needs a shop front and at least 25 Google reviews. Its rating is weighted by how many reviews it has, so 4.9 stars from 400 reviews beats 5.0 from 100. Nobody pays to be listed, and Tilow partners get no special treatment.
Is my data safe during a repair?
A screen, battery or charging port repair does not touch your data. Back your phone up first anyway, and you rarely need to give a shop your passcode.
