What is CheckMEND and why use it?

Here at Fonebank we take our responsibilities very seriously and pride ourselves in the ethical way we run our company. As a result we check all the phones sent to us with CheckMEND to ensure they are in the hands of the rightful owner as we do not want to pay people for phones that are not theirs to sell.

If you wish before sending us the phone you can run a check on CheckMEND to ensure we will not refuse to pay for the handset under the terms of the UK Recyclers Charter full details of which can be found here.

How to use CheckMEND?

Simply vist www.checkmend.com and you can then either run a single check or if you wish to check more than one phone open an account.

We hope you find this service helpful and if you have any problems or questions relating to CheckMEND please email them at support@checkmend.com

*IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: If you run a check on CheckMEND and get the all clear but between the time you run the check and the time we receive the phone that status of the handset changes we only ever use the lasts status check which we run when we receive the phone.
