What are Refurbished Phones?

A refurbished phone may previously have belonged to someone else but, unlike one that was purchased second hand, it will have been checked out by a service provider, manufacturer or retailer and made to comply with certain standards.

What to expect

When refurbished phones are bought, they are often given a grade rating so you can tell what to expect.

Aside from that, the mobile device will be wiped of any personal information from the previous owner before it‘s sold to you. This is due to the Data Protection Act, so it should be with a warranty that covers both defective parts and faulty operation.

The Types of phone grades

To make it easier for you to find out what kind of phone you really need, below is a list of the grade types that contains the most common features of each type of refurbished phone:

• Grade A - this handset should be almost like a brand new one. It should not have any marks or scratches. Any damage will be purely cosmetic.

• Grade B - this handset was clearly used, but it should work fine. Marks, scratches and dents are visible.

• Grade C - these handsets will look very used indeed, but they are still functional.

Although there are some sellers of refurbished phones who tag them as "like new", "perfect" or "nearly perfect" to describe the condition of the phones.

Cost-effective purchase

You can save hundreds off the price of a new phone by opting for an old one that was previously owned.

Refurbished phones aren't just cheaper to purchasethey're also often better value because they come with a warranty.

Buying a second-hand phone won't cost you any money either, so you'll get a bargain without having to spend too much money.

Are refurbished smartphones safe?

Provided you're buying from a reputable retailer like AMT Electronics, it's perfectly safe to buy a smartphone that was previously owned by someone else.

Most refurbished smartphones come with a warranty so they should be protected if something goes wrong. However, it's always good practice to check if the device came with a warranty before purchasing.
