Apparently, when it’s being repaired, you have to give the repairer your password etc to access your phone in order to test if it’s all working ok.
Wouldn't you have to give your password to any repairer?

Here's a postal service (free postage) - Screen £39.99

Here's a local one you could get a price from:

http://www.phone-repairs.com/ - fill in the online form for a free quote - apparently, they can be found at 2198 Coventry Road, Birmingham, B26 3JH

You can send or take your phone .....

Re: How Much?!!!!!!

There are different quality screens that can be added. You can get a top-of-the-line Apple screen or something not quite as good but which will work fine.

IMax Repairs, based in Tring is a very reputable company - they fixed the screen on my iPhone 5 a few years ago and it felt like brand-new.

You can get this protection thing stuck on your new screen for €5 it's supposed to protect them even if they are hit with a hammer.

Sorry Omah, l have only just seen this!
The phone belongs to my daughter who lives in London. She forgot to bring it the other weekend when she was up here to be a bridesmaid.
She said, she’ll get it done for me in London. I’ll let you know what happens!

Re: How Much?!!!!!!

Don't be tempted to buy an iPhone X. If you drop it, its glass shell smashes, especially the back. The front of the phone is made of gorilla glass but the back isn't. Cutbacks in quality?

http://www.zdnet.com/article/how-bre...oull-find-out/

I bet the fanbois who rushed out to buy this latest offering are kicking themselves now as most insurances won't cover the cost of repair. A fool and his/her money are soon parted.

Omah, As you asked here is an update.

In the end, my daughter got the iPhone 6 screen done in London, it was £50 with a screen protector. She kindly paid for it, for me!!
It then had to be unlocked as l have a different provider. That cost ?£8.99.

With the unlocking and transferring everything over, l didn’t have a phone for a couple of days.

That has all now been sorted but l am a bit nervous, in case l drop the phone!! It is a bigger phone than my iPhone 4 but l suppose l will get used to it?!!
