OK…Phonelab is just awesome. I have a pile of Samsung phones that need software fixes. My only previous option was to spend thousands of dollars on a professional solution. Then the Phonlab guys suggested I get an Octopus Box. I bought it and spent a ton of time trying to get it working and never could. I was beyond mad!!!! Enter Tom. He connected to my computer and spent a ton of time diagnosing and fixing a weird driver issue. I never would have gotten that fixed. With in minutes I was able to use the Octopus Box and I am able to fix phones that were “dead”. I subscribed for a year since the service was so valuable. Even at the year price, adding in the cost of the Octopus box, I saved nearly $2,000 of real money. That investment has already fixed $3,000 worth of phones that we can now sell. Phonelab and Tom are rockstars. This course is worth every penny and quite frankly….a lot more.

Look If by now your not aware of the capabilities of the guys who run this site. I got to experience their level of knowledge first hand with using Teamviewer on my computer yesterday. Let me say I am very impressed and appreciate the prompt help if your new to phonlab I encourage you to keep using this information on here it is a cash cow once you know it. Not only that but there is not a better organized platform of knowledge out there and definitely not a better bunch of people to work with. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!

Absolutely cracking course. I started out working at a CNSP (Club Nokia Service Point) back in 2000. With Nokia training was quite intense and ongoing. I always enjoyed their courses and learning. I opened my own small shop / repair centre 8 years ago now and the constant training is something that I dearly miss. I stumbled across Phonlab and thought “lets give it a try”….WOW, what detailed and a fantastic amount of content. Really impressed and extremely happy to have enrolled on your course. With the mobile world moving on pretty much daily there is always something new to pose a challenge and it can be difficult to keep up with it all at times. I’m sure I will be checking back over again at some of the topics you cover in this course simply because there is so much information to take in but it has been a very pleasurable journey working through it. All the best for the future and looking forward to keeping up with your updates.

Recommended Equipment

Smartphone Tech Course

Below you will find a list of recommended equipment for taking the Smatphone Tech Course. The only required device is a Windows 10 PC with a couple USB ports and at least 200GB of free space on it. All lessons are based on the windows 10 platform but if you have windows 8 or 7 that is fine.  Some of the steps may just look a little different.  If you only own a Mac and want to use it that is fine also, you just need to check out our FREE course for unlocking phones with a Mac.
