The Wireless Industry Service Excellence program certifies a technician’s ability to perform repairs according to a set of industry standards.

This certification allows you to visit our stores with confidence, knowing that your phone is being repaired by a certified expert.

Does Batteries Plus fix software related issues?

No, this is something customers can easily research and fix on their own.

Customers should back up their data prior to coming in for a repair. Although it’s not necessary, if you feel more comfortable, you can also sign out of your apps as well.

Do I need to give my phone’s password to the repair technician?

No, sharing your password is not required, however it is recommended that the customer unlock the device so that the technician can test that the device has its full functionality following the repair.

Is my data safe during a cell phone repair?

Yes. The only time a technician will access your device is in order to test that it is functioning properly.

Is there anything I can do to make my repair visit go faster?

Scheduling your appointment online can save you time by communicating what model phone you have to the technician so they can have all necessary parts available prior to the repair time. If you have a case or screen protector, removing it before bringing it to the technician can also help to save time.

What are some tips people can follow to help protect their phones?

A strong case or screen protector will help protect your phone if it gets dropped. You should also avoid storing your phone in your pants pockets for a number of reasons. First, it can cause the frame to bend, which can cause the screen to sit improperly. It’s also common for lint to become wedged in the charging port, which can prevent your phone from charging properly.
