The OG Mobile Geeks 🤓
Our editorial team has been nerding out over phones since 2007 – that’s before the iPhone was even a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye!
Our expert team of writers and technology evangelists cut through the marketing spiel to give you the lowdown on what’s hot and what’s not – if it sucks, it sucks. We’ll always tell it like it is even if it puts a few noses out of place!
We believe that technology shouldn’t be hard to understand, embrace, and integrate into your life. Our goal? To provide insight and guidance on all the latest technology products, trends, and software.
We’re also big fans of refurbished phones, and in 2025 we started doing our bit by setting up our refurbished phone store right inside KnowYourMobile.
Our editorial team has over 30 years of combined experience. And they always tell it like it is. Based in London, the North West, and overseas, the KYM editorial team is 100% dedicated to bringing you objective news, reviews, insights, and data.

We’ve Been Around Awhile…
Billions of Pageviews, A Global Community
We’ve put thousands of gadgets through their paces. If it beeps, boops, or has a touchscreen, chances are we’ve poked, prodded, and written about it.
Global Squad, Local Flavor
Our team’s spread across the globe like butter on hot toast. We’ve got writers from every corner of the earth, bringing you the juiciest mobile news with a dash of local spice.
Star-Studded Lineup
Our crew? Oh, just a casual mix of ex-Apple brainiacs, novelists who can make words dance, and tech journos who’ve won more awards than you’ve had hot dinners. NBD.
Worldly Wide Web
Billions of pageviews? Check. Visitors from pretty much every country on this big blue marble? Double-check. We’re basically the United Nations of mobile tech info.
Go Green, Reduce Waste and Buy Refurbished
We Sell Refurbished Phones, And We’ll Even Buy Your Old, Broken Ones Too…
In 2025, we added a new chapter to our story: we began selling refurbished phones. With rising costs and growing concern over electronic waste, we saw an opportunity to make a difference. Refurbished tech helps cut down on both carbon emissions and e-waste—so we took action and became part of the solution.
Buy Refurbished Phones
Whether you’re an iPhone, Samsung or Google Pixel fan, we’ve got you covered. From high-end models like Apple’s Pro and Pro Max to cheaper options like Google’s A-series phones.
Sell Your Old, Broken Phone
If you’ve got an old or broken phone laying around, you can convert it into cash. Use phone recycle service, fill out the form, and get a quote in a matter of minutes. And unlike most services, our quotes are accurate too!
Make Your Tech Greener
Here’s an interesting fact for you: refurbished tech is usually 40% cheaper than buying new, and 99.9% of people cannot tell if a phone is refurbished or not – they look that good. What are you waiting for?
Started In 2007
KnowYourMobile started in 2007, back when phones were dumb and labour were still in power. Things were simpler back then, sure, but the phone market was about to explode with the advent of the smartphone.
Poised to do what it did with the PC market, Dennis Publishing launched KnowYourMobile as a user guide and news-focused website designed to help users better understand their phones and how to get the most out of them.
Changed Hands In 2019
KnowYourMobile was acquired by Richard Goodwin in 2019 and Dennis Publishing became part of Future PLC a few years later.
Between 2019 and the present day, KYM as it is now known has developed and changed, covering a wider array of topics and subjects.
New Directions, New Ideas
Times change, but phones are still integral. They are how we connect with the world. In 2025, we’re editorially as focussed as ever but we now operate a new refurbished phone store inside the site. Our goal? Help our readers save money, get the tech they want, and reduce e-waste.
