You have discovered one of the best places in Austin where you can get some real help with your smartphone or tablet.

However, also specialize in Samsung Galaxy repair as well as many other smartphones including LG, HTC, Motorola & much more.
Services
The Austin Cell Phone is a locally owned family business specializing in cell phones. Our business is unique in the way that we offer almost all service you may need that is cell phone related. With us you can Buy A Phone, Sell A Phone, Unlock A Phone as well as iPhone Repair, Cell Phone Repair & iPad Repair.
There are plenty of reasons why you would want to buy a used cell phone. Perhaps you refuse to get on a payment plan or pay full retail price for a replacement phone. Or maybe you lost or broke your last phone and just need a temporary one until you can afford the latest and greatest. Whatever the reason, we are here at The Austin Cell Phone to make sure you have a choice when it comes to buying a used cell phone in Austin Texas.
It's hard to find quality flip phones these days. When you go to the carrier store all you seem to see are the shinny new gadgets that come with an expensive data plan. Sure, you may find a few flip phones hidden in the back but your not interested in them. Smartphones are great but you need to take out a payment plan or a lease agreement to buy one if you can't afford to pay for it in full.
New versions of the smartphone come out every year. You might have a collection of older smartphones collecting dust at home. Help pay for that upgrade by selling your old smartphones to us today. We pay the same, if not more, than those online buy back sites & we are local to you in Austin Texas. When you ask yourself, where can I sell my phone, you might think about your personal safety when venturing out and meeting strangers.
Its seems that with every new version of smartphones being released they are getting more expensive. So expensive that you need a payment plan to buy one. Most carriers allow you to turn in your old iPhone for credit towards the latest version. We suggest that you sell your old iPhone to us. Most of the time you will get more cash than you would if you just traded it in.

Brought my iPad Pro in to the store a few months ago after it was pretty badly cracked. The guys ordered a new part and replaced it. The service was quick and the iPad worked well at first, but slowly began to have hardware issues (dead zones in the screen). Guys said it was an issue with the part and that the screen was past warranty. Total service cost me over 340 dollars. I would potentially trust these guys with a smaller project, but the parts they use are sometimes faulty, so I would take the more expensive stuff elsewhere.

I attempted to replace my iPhone 8 battery and managed to tear a cable. I called various cell phone repair services in Austin, and ran up against "would not", "could not", or exorbitant prices. The friendly and competent young man at The Austin Cell Phone store fixed all I had broken as well as my cracked screen ... fast service, great expertise for a very fair price. This will be my "go to" place for any issues with my iPhone or tablet. Highly recommend.

I've had iphones for years. My iphone SE was acting up and I was about to throw it away. I took it to The Austin Cell Phone and had it looked at. I was told it had an old battery and all that it needed was a new one. I waited in my car and twenty minutes later went in and picked up my phone. It was fixed and working like new.
Then, the snowstorm hit and I was outside chain sawing some broken cedar from behind my home. A large limb hit my front trouser pocket where my iphone was. I had never broken a screen before and now had an epic "shattered" screen and "bent" phone case

I was really impressed with how fast they were able to get me in and out. The gentleman that worked on my phone (I forgot to grab his name) was very friendly and informative. If you are having any issues, give them a call!

Place was nice, but they wanted to charge me $100 more than another place to fix my phone. I'm sure they're good but not for me. Not for that price.

Fixed my note 10 screen in just about an hour and a half. Not only did they fix my cracked screen, they put the best glass screen protector I have ever seen on my phone. Zero bubbles or a way for dust to get between the protector and glass like other tempered glass protectors. Very courteous and professional staff! Definitely the place to go to get your phone fixed.

Have had the pleasure of working with The Austin Cell Phone several times over the past few years, and each time Alfonso and staff have made me feel like I was their ONLY customer, when clearly the opposite is true. These folks are genuine, stand behind their work (always great) and are so happy to help. KUDOS to the 'Mom & Pop' shop atmosphere, where good works and honesty, are still King. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I went to this business Thursday of last week. I needed my screen replaced because it had a green vertical line. The salesman was polite and very knowledgeable and they took my phone right away and it was a very quick process. But, two days later I noticed that my phone was cracked. I didn’t drop it or throw it or anything where I thought maybe this would mess the screen up. I just noticed it when I went to check my phone. Over the next couple of days it cracked in three other places. Making that for places that it cracked. I have never had a problem with a cracked phone before. And, since I

Wow, what can't I say that's most epic about this company? Well, I did have a minor wait due to another service being done on another device but Hector, the young man working, gave me an estimated time that he was well under. Props to that.

So, I made my way to this shop after seeing all the wonderful reviews on Yelp and upon checking their website in the evening, I started looking at details on a replacement screen for my iPhone. I love the fact that their website had a representative that quickly answered questions in realtime through a chat window when I was looking to call them

We had a cracked screen. These guys did what they said they would do in the time they said it would be done and it was for a fair price. Yes I'd use them again!

After my Iphone7 stopped charging, I googled "why phone not charge, blah blah", did all that the interweb suggested and came to the conclusion that the phone needs to see a specialist. Yelp lets you ask for quotes from several different cell phone repair shops. Alfonso, responded immediately. He said they could take a look into the phone free of charge but he assumed that the charging port needed to be replaced,if that's the case, it'll cost 59 bucks.

I soon received other quotes from the other repair shops and they all said about the same thing, it would either cost me $25

This review started higher, but after an edit, I had to remove another star.

I have a phone that isn't the latest and greatest Samsung or Apple, so, as far as quotes went, it was really about price. They came in FAR under anywhere else. I'm also guessing that having a less than popular phone may have attributed to some of the issues we experienced.

I paid for 50% of it up front (gave them my phone number) and then I waited. Nearly a week went by, and nothing. So we called. The screen hadn't been ordered. Ordered it again (giving them my phone number again).
A week went by and

I was only slightly freaking out Monday night as my cell phone refused to accept the electricity I was trying to feed it. I kinda thought something was amiss with my charger port as it had become unpredictable the last few weeks and Monday evening, it just gave up altogether. So, yeah, I was slightly freaking. Dead phone! I have a dead phone! What am I gonna do??

A quick google search the next morning led me here and I was impressed with the reviews. Also, I noted the bad reviews, what few there are, received a thoughtful response from the proprietors of ACP. Figured I'd give them a shot

Wow! I walked in about half an hour after breaking my iPhone SE screen. The guy (should've asked his name) got to work immediately and had finished repairing it in TEN to FIFTEEN minutes. It looks great and cost 60 bucks before tax. Very satisfied customer! Will definitely recommend to friends.

P.S. The same repair would have cost 130 before tax at an official Apple repair place.
