See how we take care of our customers' experience with reliability, top quality and more
Every time I’ve been here, the service has been outstanding and not just in quality, but in integrity. Recently, I took my daughter’s phone in fully expecting an expensive repair, only to be told not to spend the money because it wasn’t necessary. Instead, I was given a smarter, cheaper and more practical solution and that kind of honesty is incredibly rare.
The workmanship is excellent, pricing is fair, and the advice is genuinely in the customer’s best interest, not the business’s bottom line. It’s clear why this place has such an incredible number of five-star reviews…they’re absolutely earned.
If you want ethical repairs, expert knowledge, and someone you can actually trust with your devices, this is the place. Highly, highly recommended.

I went to David with a totally smashed out of shape iPhone in my lunch break. He quoted me reasonably to be able to fix it so it worked perfect, with a minimal fee if it couldn’t be fixed for his time in pulling it apart and assessing the parts carefully. He said it would be ready within a couple of hours. He promptly text me that it was ready and working before I finished at work and stayed after hours to allow me to pick it up. He included a screen protector which I was grateful for. Service came with warranty and he patiently helped me with some technical questions as well with a smile. Great place! Hopefully I won’t be back, but if I need a phone guy again I know where I’ll go ! Thank you!

액정이 나가서 5군데 알아본 곳 중에 딱여기 한곳만 하루만에 고칠수 있다고 해서 갔는데 진짜 하루만에 고쳐서 받았어요.
삼성서비스센터 로비나는 인터네셔널이라 영수증도 필요하고 부품도 한국에서 받아서 고쳐야되고 총 4주 걸린다고 했었고~~한국인이하는곳은 z플립 4는 호주에서 못고친다하고~~
다른몇군데는 부품이 없어서안된다였는데~~
여긴 진짜 깜짝 놀랐어요.
어쩜 하루만에~~아주 깨끗하게 잘고쳤어요~~

Me gusto mucho el local y el dueño muy responsable y preocupado por brindar un excelente servicio. Cambie la bateria de mi iPhone y en 20 minutos estaba listo, los precios están muy bien aparte que te ofrece una garantía por algunos meses por cualquier cosa que pase! En fin, lo recomiendo 10/10 tiene de todo para los celulares!

Double 5 star!
Come again for my PC repair, they did same excellent job as before:
Definitely the best phone shop on Gold Coast!
I get an iPhone 14 Pro Max smashed back glass and screen and water damaged. I have a small budget and wanted the data.
Phone Chat used their micro soldering skills sorted the board problems and replaced the front screen,back glass. now it looks new and running so well for the past 3 weeks. As they even told me the water damage might have some uncertainties, time can prove if it works.
I can't thank Phone Chat Surfers Paradise enough for keeping my 38,200 photos and videos for my life again!
and the beautiful jobs on the front screen, back glass !

I sent my elderly mum, who is partially deaf, into Phone Chat today because her mobile phone had stopped working and she couldn’t communicate with anyone. I rang ahead and spoke to David, who was incredibly polite and reassuring from the very beginning.
When Mum arrived, he greeted her with a smile and took great care of her. He made sure she was comfortable while she waited, spoke kindly, and treated her with patience and respect — something she doesn’t always experience these days, especially in noisy environments where hearing is difficult.
David not only fixed her phone but made the whole experience stress free for her. She left feeling happy relieved and genuinely cared for.
I can’t thank him enough. Exceptional service, compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend David at Phone Chat for anyone needing help with their phone. 😊

Uno de los mejores lugares para reparar tu celular, el servicio es excelente amable y amigable te explican con mucha paciencia y no te ven solo por los dólares que vas a pagar, los precios son los correctos y normalmente tarda solo 30 minutos, que puedes disfrutar de un mini paseo por Surfers.

변기에 폰 빠뜨린 뒤로 배터리 문제가 생겨서 방문했습니다. 우선 가격이 명시되어있어서 신뢰가 갔고, 침착하게 상담 후 한시간 정도의 엄청 빠른 시간 안에 해결해주셨어요! 배터리를 교체하게 됐지만 큰 부담 없는 가격이어서 정말 만족합니다!!

David was fantastic, fixed both my phones immediately. He was transparent with labour n costs. I am a good judge of character, he is trustworthy, honest n really pleasant guy to do business with, his prices are really decent too. Three other customers came through the door while I was waiting, Dave was exactly the same with them as he was with me. Any future problems with my current phones, or my next 'new' second hand phone I will return to him. Thank you David for your help n you really are a decent guy, I appreciate that.

Excellent phone repairs! Can't be better!
We came in yesterday afternoon for this shop's fame, and David served us with his professionalism and passion.
I have a Samsung s22 ultra waterdamaged , he managed to fix it in nearly 90mins right in front of us. Even it got fixed he still told us the water damaged phone could has more problems, he was right there was some problem at night, so I broit back to him, again he got fixed beautifully, thank you so much David, we will definitely recommend this Phone Chat to everyone!

I had an amazing experience with Phone Chat! My silly dog knocked my phone off the lounge and completely smashed the camera, and I thought it was going to cost a fortune to fix.
The team at Phone Chat were fantastic — they repaired my camera quickly and at a very cheap price. The service was friendly, professional, and hassle-free from start to finish.
I highly recommend them to anyone needing phone repairs. Thanks so much for your help!

This Gentleman David is definitely the best phone technician on Gold Coast!
He repaired my water damaged iPhone 17and it works very well in the past months!
AS the Apple store Robina refused to provide the warranty, I have been to more than 3 phone repairs shops, non of them can turn it on.
Awaiting the 3 days for repairs time, I also purchased a valued preowned used iPhone, the price is as good as the conditions.
I highly recommend this shop to all my friends for their professionalism.
~ JAKE N
War super super nett und hilfsbereit und hat direkt erkannt was das Problem ist! Zum Glück konnte er es schnell reparieren, weil wir nur für zwei Tage an der Gold Coast waren! Große Empfehlung für alle mit Handy problemen!!

Last week I had the screen replaced on my Samsung Note 20 Ultra at this phone repair store, and I couldn't be happier with the service! The technician was incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain the process and ensuring I understood everything before proceeding. The repair was done quickly and professionally, and my phone looks and works like new again. Excellent customer service and great value for money. Highly recommend this place for anyone needing phone repairs!

Accidentalmente rompí la pantalla y la batería de mi Samsung s21 plus... Y me lo repararon en menos de 1 hora a un muy buen precio. Además con piezas totalmente originales. Excelente servicio y atención, muy responsable y confiable.

This shop is be far the cheapest in surfers paradise also the owner trusted my story that I could not pay upfront due to having any access on my phone to banking . My phone was completely frozen plus internet banking was not an option from a computer as all my security verification is sent to my phone.
I cannot express the kindness and quality of this store - I am a local and they are the best ❤️
~ Deborah R
David is by far the most friendly and professional phone technician around. He helped me greatly in assessing the problem of my phone and could have easily up sold me or taken advantage of my technological ignorance to his financial advantage . He, however, obviously has great morals and ethics with his business. Highly recommend his professional service to anyone needing honest advice and assistance. Thank you, David
~ Wayne S

I had a great experience trading my phones for an upgrade. The service was excellent, and David was very kind and patient. He carefully checked both phones and explained everything clearly. I felt confident and comfortable throughout the process. He offered me a better price than I expected, which I truly appreciated. Very honest and professional — I highly recommend!
~ Kulwadee S
This guy is amazing
I have been to the shop several times for several reasons, but after clumsily dropping my phone in the river, he brought it back to life.
I thought my phone was gone. It works like a brand new phone.
He explained everything to me prior, and after getting the service done
I can’t thank him enough. I highly recommend this business, he is the mobile phone god
Love your work
