The Austin Cell Phone has been repairing cell phones and tablets in Austin since 2012.

Devices they repair

• Apple iPhones
• Apple iPads
• Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets

• Many other smartphones, tablets and some laptop screens

How repairs work

• Walk-in repairs are available at the Austin shop; call or chat for current turnaround times.
• Most common smartphone and tablet repairs are completed quickly, often in about an hour when parts are in stock.
• Staff explain repair options and help customers choose the most cost-effective solution rather than automatically recommending replacement.

Data safety and limitations

• Customer data stays on the device during repairs; they do not wipe or reset the device as part of standard repairs.
• They can unlock many iPhones and other smartphones for carrier use, but they cannot remove an iCloud lock from an iPhone — only Apple or the original owner can do that.
• For some Android smartphones they can bypass a Google account lock; ask for details for a specific model.

Buying and activation

• Buying a used phone here does not extend your carrier contract.

Business and school customers

• Businesses and schools can buy used phones to equip staff while staying within budget.
• The shop can also combine device purchases with bulk repair services for organisations across the USA.

Pricing and availability

• Specific inventory and prices change frequently.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
