    Broken iPhone screen

    Any recommendations for getting it fixed. Looking for a service less expensive that the apple shop and less hassle than doing it myself.

    Just go down the local indoor market. They will have a phone shop that will fix it for you for 30-60 quid depending on what you broke... My lad knows the guys at ours by name

          We have a shop near us in North London that is a shoe and phone accessories shop, what a combination.

          Phone shops are 2 a penny, unlock this, fix that, sell you a case or whatever. Just look for an LED Open sign.

          To be honest, most of them I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, or even your barge pole.

              Surely even an iPhone is less than £600 new?

                I've a mate who got her iPhone screen fixed for £40 all in from a company on ebay. She was very happy with the result (she did a lot of reseach before choosing the company).

                I'll contact her and find out the company name.

                  Good spot but I am sure if you want to pay 600 they will take it off you...
