About ClearFrank

A used phone is worth what it tests at.So that’s what we pay.

ClearFrank puts a verified, guaranteed price on a used phone. Instead of guessing from a description, we run a real Phonecheck diagnostic on the device itself and lock the price to the result. It works the same way for one person selling an old handset and for a business clearing a whole fleet: live today for business, and launching soon for individual sellers.

The problem we fix

Most trade-in quotes are provisional. You describe the phone, post it off, and the price is decided after it arrives.

That’s where the haggling starts: a re-grade, a lower offer, a phone you no longer have. The price depended on someone else’s view of your device, formed after you’d already let it go.

ClearFrank moves the test to the front. The diagnostic runs on the handset before anything is posted, so the price you see is based on what the device actually is. Once it’s locked, the number you’re shown is the number you get.

How it works

Three steps, the same for every device. Live today for business; launching soon for individual sellers.

1. Compare real options

Your network, a retailer, online recycling, or donating to charity — side by side, so you can see which is worth most to you. Launching soon; today a quote shows the most we’d pay.

2. Test the device

The free Phonecheck app checks battery, screen, sensors and IMEI on the phone itself. It takes about five minutes.

3. Lock the price

The tested result sets the price, and ClearFrank holds it for 14 days. No lower offer after you post.

What we hold ourselves to

The quote is the price

Once a price is locked against a test, we don’t come back with a lower one.

Tested, not judged on looks

Scratches, scuffs and normal wear never change your price. The test decides it.

Options shown openly

We put the alternatives next to each other, including the ones that aren’t ours.

Your data stays yours

The diagnostic reads device health only. Nothing on the phone is collected or shared.

Questions people ask

What is ClearFrank?

ClearFrank is a UK service that gives used phones a verified, guaranteed price. A Phonecheck diagnostic runs on the device first, and the price is locked to the result, so it can’t be lowered after you send the phone.

Can I sell my phone today?

Not yet. Selling a single phone is launching soon; until then, a quote shows the most we’d pay for your model. Businesses can start now with ClearFrank for Business.

How can the price be guaranteed?

Because the device has already been tested. The usual reason a trade-in offer drops is that the phone is graded after it arrives. With ClearFrank the grading happens before, on the phone itself.

How long is my price held?

14 days from when it’s locked.

Does the test cost anything?

No. The Phonecheck app is free to download and the test is free to run. It takes about five minutes.

What doesn’t the test see?

A cracked or chipped screen, cracked back glass and liquid damage. You confirm there’s none of those at checkout. Everything else comes from the test.

Can a business use ClearFrank?

Yes. ClearFrank for Business runs the same diagnostic across a fleet, tethered at one location or remotely, with every device’s result and value in one dashboard.
