I need to get a new battery fitted to my daughters iPhone 3g. (I know I could do it myself but I would make a hash of it!)
I'm looking at places online where you send it and they fix it and then send it back. Therein lies my worry... I don't know any of these companies and don't know who are trustworthy and who will just pinch the phone, has anybody used any iPhone repair company online they would recommend?

A Battery Replacement performed by Apple is £55 by the way.

I replaced mine recently, after mine took a wash & packed up.

Followed youtube videos on how to strip, 15min job done

& no need for any fancy tools, apart from a window suction cup to ease off the screen, easier than I thought to do as well.

Yep as I thought, that looks terrifying. I should have pointed out that when it comes to such things my hands work like I have mittens on, weird when I used to make my living playing the guitar really...
Thats why I don't mind paying some spotty herbert who works out of his shed £30 to do it so long as he posts it back 😳
