Prices (Where to Buy)




Common Questions


The Phone II price will vary depending on retailer, age, special offers and whether or not it's purchased with a service plan. If purchased with a 2 year service contract for example, you would likely pay much less for the phone itself up front. You can compare Light Phone II prices from around the web here on The Informr.


Light backs up the Phone II with a 1 Year parts & labour warranty.


If your Phone II has problems and is still within its warranty period, you could contact Light support or the retailer you purchased the phone from. You'll find Light's contact information here. If your phone is off warranty and needs repair for a physical problem such as a broken screen or bad battery, you should visit an authorized service centre or a local phone repair shop. You can also connect with others in The Informr Community Forum to find and share answers to questions.
