The IT Nerd

With the ongoing turbulence in the economy, value matters more than ever for Canadian consumers. Mobile Klinik is now making it easier to save without compromising quality. Starting May 1, every Certified Pre-owned (CPO) phone purchased from Mobile Klinik, and activated on TELUS or Koodo, will now include a Limited Lifetime Warranty. 

Disclaimer: “Limited” refers to coverage that is contingent on the device remaining repairable and actively used on the TELUS or Koodo network. The warranty is tied to the device IMEI, not the original purchaser, and does not cover loss, theft, or damage beyond economic repair. If the device cannot be repaired or parts are unavailable, a trade-in top-up credit may apply. Terms and conditions apply

That means buying a CPO Samsung S24 FE for just $379 (vs. $1,100 new)   — a whopping 61% discount with available credits — now includes peace of mind for as long as you keep your plan. That’s $721 in savings and no more “what if it breaks?”

For iPhone users, a CPO iPhone 16 is now $596 (vs. $1,315 new)   — a 42% discount.

Disclaimer: Pricing is based on TELUS new device MSRP vs CPO MK price with applicable activation and sustainability credits. Prices as of April 2025 and subject to change

The cost-of-living crunch is real, and this warranty now makes buying a CPO device not just a smarter purchase, but a safer one.

Today Mobile Klinik, Canada’s expert leading chain on device performance and professional smartphone and tablet repair offering high-quality, certified pre-owned mobile devices, opened its 100th store location at the Pickering Town Centre in Pickering, Ontario. To celebrate this milestone, across Canada this holiday season, customers who purchase a certified pre-owned phone and activate select mobility plans in-store can save up to $250. Until the end of 2021 the Pickering Town Centre location is providing 20 per cent off most repairs, accessories and certified pre-owned mobile devices.

The demand for trusted repair outlets and locations to purchase high-quality certified pre-owned devices is growing. A recent Angus Reid Institute survey conducted by Mobile Klinik found 41 per cent of Canadians would consider purchasing a pre-owned phone, citing cost and environmental benefits as leading motivators. Further, the majority of Canadians consider their mobile phone as their most expensive personal item and are willing to consider repairing rather than replacing their device, with nearly half of those respondents having repaired their device before.

Mobile Klinik offers Canadians a trusted location to buy, sell, repair and connect their mobile devices:

• Buy: Customers can choose from Canada’s widest variety of premium certified pre-owned devices, backed by an industry-leading one-year warranty
• Sell: Mobile Klinik will buy most used device makes and models for top dollar, and to protect customer privacy will safely transfer the seller’s data to a new device or USB before properly wiping the old one
• Repair: All repairs are performed by certified, expert technicians, with most completed in about an hour. Common issues include cracked screens, broken cameras, software updates, and battery replacements with premium-quality-parts and state-of-the-art diagnostics
• Connect: Mobile Klinik also offers a full range of rate plans from leading Canadian wireless carriers, with special sustainability discounts to reward customers who extend the life of their devices by repairing their device or replacing it with a certified pre-owned device, rather than buying expensive new devices

Providing customers with further convenience, earlier this year Mobile Klinik launched its Onsite Repair Units, the first van service of its kind offering consumers and businesses nationwide the convenience of professional smartphone and tablet repair at the location of their choice. Now residents and businesses in more than 100 communities nationwide can conveniently access Mobile Klinik’s Onsite Repair Unit service.

Founded in 2015, Mobile Klinik has rapidly grown into Canada’s leader in professional smartphone and tablet repair, refurbishment and resale with 100 retail locations and 500 team members across Canada. For more information visit mobileklinik.ca.

Many Canadians are already thinking about holiday shopping – and tech is once again going to be a favourite. Holiday spending is expected to rise 31 per cent this year compared to 2020, so with peak tech-buying timeframes on the horizon including Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Canadians will once again be looking for tech deals and opportunities to upgrade. 

But, with more and more Canadians looking to reduce their environmental footprint, make more sustainable purchases, and also save money, there’s an opportunity for Canadians to revisit their approach to holiday tech shopping with Mobile Klinik who are Canada’s leading and most trusted provider of smartphone and tablet repair and refurbishment with 100 stores coast-to-coast. As it turns out, 41% of Canadians say they would consider purchasing a pre-owned phone, citing cost and environmental benefits as leading motivators. Despite this, only 12% of Canadians have actually ever purchased a used device.

This holiday season, spread a little cheer – whether for yourself or a loved one – with certified pre-owned devices that are smarter for the planet, kinder on bank accounts, and operate like new. Here are three reasons why Canadians should consider a certified pre-owned device this season:

• The features you need, the price you want: Mobile Klinik carries the latest in mobile device offerings, meaning customers don’t have to sacrifice quality for cost. Purchasing a device through Mobile Klinik can save customers hundreds of dollars on what they might spend on a new device.
• Like-new and under warranty: Sanitized and professionally refurbished, Mobile Klinik’s certified pre-owned devices go through a 34-point inspection by a trained technician and are backed by a 1-year warranty.
• Available without the wait: While the technology industry grapples with chip shortages, leading to a lack of supply for consumers, Mobile Klinik fills this gap by still offering a “new” device in the form of certified pre-owned device options. There is no shortage of devices like the iPhone 7,8,and XR for shoppers to snatch up this holiday season.

Check out Mobile Klinik and the list of devices that they offer.
