surprised to hear complains about customer service with wileyfox.. i had a messed up Swift 1, sent them an email, they opened a ticket and got back to me in minutes, i couldn't provide all the info they needed (not actuall the phone i use), and they still guessed our (software) issue correctly and provided instructions.. extremely good CS imho! maybe dont call, use their online system.
that said i'm not ordering because apperently camera on swift 2 is still no good :disappointed:

My Swift 2 Plus arrived, and I ordered Used - Very Good. It didn't come in its original packaging and there were some very small scratches longer than 0.6cm in length, so I wondered if they'd sent me a differently classed condition instead (Used - Very Good is defined as in original packaging). After calling to ask Amazon have credited me with £10 whether I decide to return the phone or not.
One thing I was more worried about was any form of guarantee, as just a 30 day satisfaction guarantee isn't much peace of mind particularly on electronic goods, but I've just spoken on chat and had confirmed that 'There is One year warranty' on Amazon Warehouse Deals, which adds a bit more peace of mind.
But to confirm, all warehouse deals have a one year warranty?
Yes. You are absolutely correct. You can get back to us if there is any isue.

Managed to get one of these for my mum who was after a cheap smartphone. Got it for only £55ish a couple months back. Was stunned to find aw had sent the plus version. A few minor scratches to the back but screen was perfect and my mum is very happy with it.

I bought one a while ago. Whilst it's a pretty good phone customer service is literally non existent! In that they never responded to any form of communication when I had an issue with it. Ever....

Only £86.56 for a phone?! I need to spend at least 10x that amount to keep up my reputation

Make sure you have one before lashing out. Small scratches on back will be OK but the front ones less so.

What reputation :thinking: you almost sound like an apple fanboy, sun does not shine because you spend 10x that amount, what are you doing on this site if you need to buy a phone for £865.60
This is a great phone at a fantastic price as long as the screen is not damaged as it is used

You say that as if you imagine higher priced phones have no conceivable value. They obviously do in terms of features, the market also dictates the price. It's called choice, choice is a good thing, embrace choice. This phone is underpowered with a feature set that doesn't suit me, however for me I don't need the best camera on the market which the current iPhones have, which is why I have a Sony Xperia XZ and bought it used.
Now the fact that this phone doesn't suit me does not in my mind negate it's value or purpose, it means that it simply doesn't suit me, just as an iPhone 8 doesn't suit me.
It's currently fashionable to denigrate higher priced phones based on price, the point is price is only one aspect and without these phones you have less of a choice. There are options for everyone at every price point, if every phone vectored towards the higher prices then we'd have a big problem, but this won't happen due to market forces.

While you make a cogent case for respecting each others mobile telephony purchasing decisions I believe that you are missing a crucial and if I may be so impertinent to say so, bleedin obvious point. HE WAS HAVING A LARF. Lighten up.

I am thinking about getting this phone but not sure about battery life. What's your experience?

Mine last a day happily, although I use it for audible / Music on my hour long drive to work and home, then email, fitness tracking, a few apps here and there usually have 60%+ at 9pm in the evening when I pop it on to charge for a hour

The phone is fine, my son has had one since January and I get no complaints or requests for tech support. It allows you to integrate an SD card with the internal storage and receives regular security patches.

I've een using the Swift 2 Plus for almost a year now. Still going strong. It's a pretty fast phone, the 3GB of RAM really helps.

Is the GPS okay on these? I think my original Swift is great, apart from the terrible GPS which seems to be an issue with the originals.

I have one and the GPS seems ok, been working fine on Pokemon Go. Overall a pretty fast phone for the money, still slick after 3 months of owning

I think there may be more than two available as I've just ordered a Midnight Blue 2 Plus and there still seem to be two showing. Thanks, OP.

The plus version is £20 more also for a"used-very good" condition at amazon warehouse. As posted above I'd personally go for that (3gb RAM +32gb storage) instead.
25% of purchasers have given it 1 or 2 stars. To me this suggests something is very wrong with the phone as well as the supplier, even though it is very cheap for what you get.

The Plus version with 3GB RAM for £100 would be hotter. You could easily get 2 years of service effectively losing only £50 per year.

I think I bought this last time on a deal advertised here. The transparent lens cover was missing. Photographs could be taken ok, but there was no protection for the lens itseft. Also the case had strange markings on it. I sent it back and got a full refund, but I don`t think I`d get another second hand phone from Amazon
