Cash 4 Fone in short

Cash 4 Fone is a Wellington high-street shop on New Street that pairs phone repairs with buying and selling second-hand electronics. Our verdict is that the long trading span, claimed since September 2009, and the walk-in plus online store combination are what set it apart. You can walk into the New Street shop or use the online store. It suits anyone who wants repairs and second-hand devices from one shop.

Customer reviews of Cash 4 Fone tell a cooler story, with 3.6 from 30 Google reviews trailing the rest of this round, alongside a further Trustpilot rating. Repair prices are not published either; the price list covers devices for sale rather than repairs.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Cash 4 Fone suits you if you want a Wellington high-street shop that both repairs phones and sells second-hand devices [1] [3]. Trading since 2009 is the longest span on any record in this round [3]. What counts against it is customer evidence: 3.6 from 30 Google reviews trails the rest of the table [2].

Questions about Cash 4 Fone

Is Cash 4 Fone any good?

It depends what you want: the New Street shop suits anyone pairing a repair with second-hand buying or selling, and the trading span claimed since 2009 is the longest in this round. But 3.6 from 30 Google reviews trails the table badly. Visit for the devices, and ask hard questions about the repair.

Is Cash 4 Fone registered with a trade scheme?

No scheme membership is on record: industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. No mandatory registration applies to phone repair, and no company record is published either. Weigh the long trading claim against the weak reviews.

What does Cash 4 Fone charge?

Repair prices are not published; the price list on the site covers devices for sale rather than repairs. That means the shop quote does the talking. Ask the full cost of your repair up front, and get it in writing before work starts.

Where does Cash 4 Fone work?

Cash 4 Fone works from 24 New Street, Wellington, serving Telford and Wellington through the shop and an online store. That suits anyone passing through Wellington who wants repairs and devices together. Visit the shop or browse the store before you commit.

How is Cash 4 Fone ranked?

It sits outside the top ten of the twelve researched firms in our September round, kept out by the weakest customer record in the set. The table order comes from the scorecard behind each card. Read the full review before deciding.
