Cellular Fantasy

I had a very good experience at CF, they were professional, reasonable and went the extra mile. I would highly recommend them.

They are the biggest rip offs!!! BEWARE, they will overcharge you and nickel and dime you endlessly!

They serviced the Galaxy S4 very quickly and for a reasonable price. Was very happy with the service. Highly recommended.

I have taken numerous iPhones here for cracked screen replacements. They always do a great job, at a fair price. Service is also very quick and dependable. Additionally, they have fixed iPhones that have been exposed, even submerged in water. I could not recommend them more highly.

I agree! Ignore any bad reviews!!! Trust me! They just «unfroze» my iPhone… which locked me out for no reason. The last time this happened some idiot at tmobile made my issue even worse… made me then go to the Apple Store… resulting in some idiot there losing all my European cruise pics. I was devastated. I was in and out in 3 minutes here today… no charge! They are smart and nice. Enough said!!! :-) made my day!!! Thanks cellular fantasy… you saved me!. Shannon!

I tried to exchange an iPhone lightning charger that broke after a week. It was poorly made and the lightning tip came unattached after a dozen charges. The owner did not want to take it back saying «What did you do? I have never seen this break before». I told him that it wasn’t me, but the cheap cable I paid $ 30 for. He was so rude and told me to get out, so I caused a bit of a scene and he threw a new cable at me and told me to never return. I will happily not ever come back.

Ignore any bad reviews for this place. These guys are the best at what they do and their prices can’t be beat. I had cracked my screen twice prior on my IPhone6. It quit on me over the weekend, and the LED screen was shot. Went to the ATT and Apple stores, and they wanted me to buy a new phone for $ 599 and $ 860, respectively. Thought I’d give these guys a chance before going that route, and Im glad I did.
Even when the Apple techs said it couldn’t be repaired, these guys fixed it in an hour, and it was very reasonably priced (under $ 150)
Highly recommended for all your phone repairs. Dont look any further!

Came here first over a recommendation. What a mistake, Ali had the nerve to refuse service because I inquired about where he sourced his parts. Also, no replacement or compensation if the phone is damaged during repair. How is that even possible? I had trouble accepting the «I won’t mess up» guarantee from the guy.
This one is obvious: just go to Santa Monica iPhone Repair around the corner on Santa Monica and Yale. Look at the difference in Unilocal response – that should be enough.

This place is a scam, at least to me. I came to repair a broken glass of an LG phone. The repair person said to me $ 288.00. I said how? The part on ebay is 20 $, a new phone is about a 150 $. Just be careful of what people tell you before you go in, do your research…

Fantastic customer service, quick and easy approach to anything wrong with your cell phone, and overall the kind of people you enjoy having take care of you when you’re in a time-​sensitive repair situation. Great phone plans as well. They are pleasant, honest, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Not hesitating to give these guys five stars. I came in with my iPhone 5s that had a completely shattered screen courtesy of my garage floor and within 2 hours it was like brand new. Still a bit painful to part with $ 110 for an accident but definitely Better than the $ 169 that verizon insurance would have cost, not to mention the time it would have taken to send it in. Overall I couldn’t be more pleased with the work, customer service, and repair time.

Last month I dropped my iPhone 5 twice in one week and screen completely broken. I lived with it for days then went to see if I can get another one and since I had just upgraded, I would’ve had to pay $ 650. I was told to try Cellular Fantasy. I met the great Mr. Al who fixed my phone like new for $ 110. People who had seen my phone before can’t believe it’s the same phone. He did a very nice and clean job. Since it was a Saturday, Al was closing at 5pm but stayed over until my phone was fixed. I really appreciate it! I highly recommend this place! A+

Chose to mail my phone in for repair covered by Square Trade Warranty as opposed to driving to a more local repair shop in Orange. Demolished my S4 screen by dropping it on the edge of a trash can. Sent on Monday, they received it Tuesday, turned it around the same day and I received it back in perfect condition on Wednesday. Looked like a new phone, well packed, a listing of all tests performed (very through). Couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you technician VC whoever you may be!

I was not careful and ruined my SIM card reader of my Galaxy S3 smartphone. They replaced it for me in less than an hour for $ 45. I had called and received a similar quote elsewhere but I got it done here because I had a second phone to fix at this store because it is the store used by square trade warranty for cell phone repairs.
My second phone had a square trade warranty which required $ 100 deductible to fix a cracked glass of a Galaxy S2 smartphone. Square trade warranty allows me to have a 90 day warranty of work done and up to 4 claims on a phone — if they cannot fix it, I get a payout of the original cost of the phone. Square Trade also provided me with a fedex prepaid shipping label but because I was going to leave out of town in a week, I decided to drive 12 miles to the store to drop it off. That’s how I found this store.
Parking is in the back of the store or street parking with meters. It’s near Ralphs supermarket so you can do grocery shopping while waiting for work to be done here.

I was in town visiting when I dropped my HTC phone while it was charging right before going to bed. It hit in such a way that the charging/​mini USB port was completely busted in and somehow also broken in half. I stopped in at about 10am the next day without calling first or making an appointment, but the staff was incredibly sweet and helpful. They fixed my phone in the matter of just a couple hours and even sent a email that it was finished since I (obviously) did not have my phone with me. It’s been several weeks since the repair, but my phone works perfectly and the fix has held up nicely.
I am really appreciative of the high quality work and service they provided. I paid $ 70 for the repair, including tax. I felt that this was reasonable since the repair included replacing the motherboard, was done within just a couple hours, and I have a not terribly common phone. They accept cash and cards. They have a location right on the corner of Wilshire, which is right next to a Rapid as well as regular bus stops.

I’ve used these guys 2 – 3 times and they’ve always done a good job. I rated them 4 stars instead of 5 because I need to use them a few more times before giving them a top-​tier rating. But so far they have always been very helpful and responsive. Recommended.

I (stupidly) had my phone face-​down/​out in my carry on so when it fell hard on the pavement, it made direct contact. My jarred screen was 90% white with the exception of the farthest right side, where you cannot see anything of use. I searched the internet for help, but came to no conclusion.
I decided to bring it here based on the 8 reviews prior (this took place in early 2011) so I explained the issue and had to leave it for a few hours. I’m one of the few who don’t need their phone on them at all times, so this was not an issue. Upon return, the screen was 90% fixed, with a few white ‘spots’ smack dead in the center of the phone. I guess more of a vanity issue; these spots always seemed to hover directly over someone’s face in a photo, or make it look as if a word was misspelled. I was somewhat aggravated that no one could explain WHAT had happened, why the screen got jarred and white like it did.
However later on in the day, the trackpad was acting really strangely, and although my settings were correct, it was clear the way the phone was put back together was done so sloppily that the actual part of the screen was kind of coming undone. The glue used was almost pointless, and dust began to gather very quickly, making those initial white spots almost invisible. I called Cellular and they told me it would be another $ 90 to ‘look at and possibly fix’ which I found ridiculous, being one day later when I had called about this.
So one star for the fact they made my screen mostly visible again, but no others due to the fact it was a poor job done otherwise.

Very impressed with the service here. I had a liquid damaged phone (HTC Evo, took a vodka bath). The power button stopped working, so I brought it in, since Sprint refuses to touch anything with liquid damage.
Long story short, after a couple minutes of waiting I was told the power button is fine, nothing could be replaced because it was just corroded. That being the case, he offered to clean it off, and told me that the problem seemed to be more in the casing. Showed me how to fix it, and didn’t charge me.
My phone now works great, but if anything else happens to it, I wouldn’t think twice before bringing it here!

This is such a strange looking building for a cell phone store. It looks like the old bank buildings that looked like giant concrete blocks dropped straight down by the gods onto the landscape of the city. but since no longer used for a more friendly, not-​so-​cold-​and-​sterile feel.
Anyhow, the gf has been using this place for ages for her cell phone needs and when my cell phone battery was not holding onto a charge anymore. To the point that it was dying after one phone call even if it was on the charger the night before.
Much like a sick child with a broken leg, I waited. and waited. and waited some more before breaking down and seeking professional help in trying to fix the matter. This was one problem that couldn’t be fixed with duct tape.
It only took them a few minutes to check out my phone and its bloated battery to figure out the problem and offer a solution in the method of a new battery. Cost me a fair amount, but wasn’t too outrageous. The fact that I could make more than one phone call without the phone dying. now that was priceless.

This place is located on Wilshire and 26^th St. and what i always thought was some bank is actually a cell phone store. I now learned from nina l. that it was a Home Savings and Loans a LONG time ago.
The place would seem like a Best Buy of cell phones, but actually seemed to have very little of demos. Seems like they only sell Verizon or Sprint phones, because i couldn’t find anything for my G1. I think the place is more of a repair shop than a retail store.
If you never knew, now you know.
