Introduction
We know, the kids have just broken up and we’re talking about Back2School. At TMT First we used to hate it when WHSmith, Primark, Next and PC World all put the advertising posters up when we’d only just broken up for the holidays! But there’s a reason, Back2School costs a fortune in clothes and tech, so parents need to find the best deals.
New vs Graded Tech
Laptops, tablets and phones are all now a staple Back2School piece of equipment, gone are the days of a Scientific Calculator and a Pencil Case! However, does it have to be new? We all know kids can be rough on tech, but at the same time they ask for the latest and greatest. That’s where graded devices come in, more bang for your Back2School Buck!
At TMT First and our consumer brand Meelie Mobile, we have a range of Samsung, Apple and Google phones including the latest models, all with a warranty and costing considerably less than a new device – win win! Plus, you could trade in your old device to reduce the cost further!
If you are a School, Academy or Trust, TMT First has a range of devices for your students, teachers and support staff, all with the quality you would expect from an Apple, Microsoft and Samsung repair partner.
Plus, if you’re doing an audit and upgrade of last school years devices at TMT First we believe upgrading your tech shouldn’t mean contributing to the growing problem of electronic waste. That’s why we offer fast, affordable repair services and responsible recycling solutions, helping you do the right thing for your budget and the planet.
Why Repair Instead of Replace?
Modern smartphones, tablets and phones are powerful and durable. Often, all they need is a simple repair, screen replacement, battery swap, or software update to keep going strong. Here’s why repairing is the smart choice:
- Save Money: Repairs cost significantly less than buying a new phone.
- Reduce Waste: Keep your device out of landfill and extend its usable life. There is a considerably smaller carbon footprint in a repair than a new device.
- Quick Turnaround: Our expert technicians can have your phone back in your hands fast, with turnaround from 48 hours.
Whether you’re a student or part of a business team, keeping your current device in top shape makes financial and environmental sense.
Recycle with Purpose
If your device is beyond economical repair, recycling it properly is crucial. TMT First’s recycling program ensures that your device is:
- Securely Wiped: Your data is erased to the highest standards and certified.
- Responsibly Processed: Usable parts are recovered, and materials are handled in an eco-friendly way (zero landfill policy).
- Part of the Circular Economy: Refurbished phones go on to serve others, reducing the demand for new devices.
Back 2 Business
Back2School season isn’t just for students, it’s also a great time for businesses to audit and refresh their mobile fleets. TMT First offers:
- Bulk Repairs and Upgrades: Restore performance across your device fleet.
- Trade-In Programs: Recoup value from obsolete devices, working and non-working.
- Recycling Solutions: Meet your ESG goals and reduce e-waste.
