Brighton Beach used phones

Why buy used through A&S instead of a stranger online.

Buying a second-hand phone from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist saves you money — until the IMEI turns out to be blacklisted three weeks later, the battery dies after one charge cycle, or the seller forgot to mention the back glass is held together with tape. A&S Digital Wireless at 3070 Coney Island Ave takes that risk off the table. Every used phone we sell to Brighton Beach customers has been tested top to bottom by an actual technician — not just glanced at — and we stand behind it with a 30-day shop warranty.

Stock changes daily. The fastest way to know exactly what's available right now is to call (718) 769-0418 or stop in. We typically carry iPhones from the 11 through the latest Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S and Note flagships, Google Pixels, and a rotating selection of budget Android phones under $200.

Our 9-point check

Every used phone passes this before we sell it.

IMEI status

We check the IMEI on every device against US carrier blacklists. If a phone is reported lost, stolen or financed, it never makes it to the shelf.

Battery health
