but you should be able to get vouches for a new phone for the same price or a more money phone”
I work for The Link, and would suggest you get your facts straight before making such outrageous claims! The Link do not deal in seconds at all, we deal in brand new handsets direct from the manufacturer or network.
I'm sorry to hear of the problems you have had, but it does not in any way mean the company sells seconds! Sometimes when a phone is replaced by the repair centre, a refurbished model will be sent, but most times it is a brand new phone too.

Do you think i could have a different phone of the same value, or put money towards a more expensive one? Thanks, Peter.”
The manufacturer basically has three attempts at a repair before a replacement can be requested. This replacement is usually the same model. You should have been told that ringtones and other items could be lost during the repair. I'm sorry to hear it took a month each time - that is excessive and perhaps out of goodwill the store will arrange for a replacement for you (I know I would try my best to do that for you if I was dealing with you!)
