Sometimes, when people are purchasing Samsung mobile phones, we get a lot of questions around modified stock. All in all, it’s pretty simple. Whether you’re wondering what it is, why it’s different or just want to know a bit more about it, we’ve got everything you need to know.

What is Modified Stock?

Modified stock really isn’t all that different to regular UK sourced Samsung stock. The only difference is that the stock comes from the EU and has a few changes added to it. Approved Samsung partners will replace the EU mains plug with a UK main charging plug to ensure you’re able to use it as soon as you receive it. They will also change the system on the handset itself so that it’s compatible in the UK. There’s no other changes that are made to modified handsets. They don’t look, feel or have any different specifications to UK sourced devices.

Where does it come from?

All the modified stock that we purchase here at Metrofone comes from one of Samsung’s authorised partners. A full list of authorised partners is available on the Samsung UK website. By purchasing from an authorised partner, we can be sure that you’re getting a Samsung handset that’s original and suitable. They’re all official Samsung handsets and have permission for the chargers to be changed from Samsung directly. 

Why do you buy it?

When we purchase modified stock, we’re able to do so at a much lower price. This of course translates to our deals and means we can offer you lower mobile phone contracts. There’s no other reason than this! All the modified stock we purchase is brand new. Using modified devices feels the exact same as using UK sourced handsets. The only difference between the two is the price we buy it at and the price you’re able to buy it at.

Sometimes, UK sourced stock can also take a lot longer to get hold of compared to modified stock. This is the other reason we purchase modified stock. It means that our customers aren’t left waiting for their devices to arrive without any sort of indication as to when they will arrive. Again, there are no differences between the two devices other than these two stated. 

What comes with it?

When you purchase a Samsung mobile phone with us, you will receive all the original accessories. Our suppliers will change the main charging plug to a UK compatible charger. This is the only difference. This way, you can charge your phone upon arrival without any stress. The charging cable, headphones and any other accessories are all original and have not been changed. You won’t need to mess around with trying to find compatible accessories.

All modified stock comes with the same warranty as any other Samsung handset. This is a 24 month warranty with Samsung directly. There are no special terms and conditions. It is the exact same warranty that you receive with UK sourced stock. You will also receive a 30 day warranty with Metrofone directly in case anything should go wrong within this period of time. Both these warranties will give you the chance to receive a brand new or fixed handset following the warranty terms and conditions.
