About us
Veterans of the cellular industry.
A combined 20 years of experience in the cellular industry. We supply retailers, network operators and wholesalers across Africa, and specialise in device replacement for South Africa’s insurance sector.
Long-standing supplier relationships, a reputation for client service and fast, efficient claims processing.
A manufacturer’s warranty covers software and mechanical faults, but not user damage, loss or theft — a significant problem in South Africa, and a growing part of the insurance industry.
We believe a partnership with a solid, reliable service provider like Budget Cellular Distributors makes for a mutually successful and beneficial relationship.
At the expo
Phones as patients.
To introduce the repair centre we are preparing to open, we turned our expo stand into a clinic, and gave visitors games to play for prizes.


01 · The Device Clinic
Repair, refurbish, extend life.
Our technicians dressed as doctors, in lab coats and stethoscopes, and the phones were their patients. Even the services were named as treatments: on the clinic wall, screen repairs became an eye transplant.
02 · Apple Games
Good as new.
Entries were free.
Visitors played for prizes such as covers, phones and watches. The games were there to get people talking about us.
- Pop a balloon
- Cup stack challenge
- Coin in the cup
What we stand on
Three things our partners can count on.
Buying power
Long-standing supplier relationships and considerable buying power allow us to offer clients highly competitive prices.
Understanding our partners
Our focus is a clear understanding of each business partner’s needs — the basis of our reputation for client service and fast, efficient claims processing.
Treating customers fairly
Our mission is to be the most trusted supplier in the industry, and our Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) policy is an integral part of that objective.
