Our Story
We started ReCell because throwing away a working phone felt absurd.
The average smartphone gets replaced every 26 months. Most of them still work perfectly.
In 2019, a few former repair technicians opened a small workshop in Brooklyn with a simple thesis: pre-owned phones deserve the same care as new ones. The same packaging. The same warranty. The same trust.
Today, we've re-homed over 48,000 phones. Every single one has been through our 12-point inspection. Every single one leaves with a fresh battery, updated software, and a story for its next chapter.
