Mobilfon Teknoloji A.Ş. operates an online marketplace for certified refurbished electronics, specializing in smartphones and tablets. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, the company provides customers with affordable and reliable devices by sourcing products from major electronics manufacturers and partnering with technicians for inspection and repair. The platform offers devices from brands like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi, categorizing them by cosmetic condition, such as "Excellent," "Very Good," and "Good."

The company's business model is centered on the circular economy, extending the lifecycle of electronic devices.
