I went with my younger bro yesterday to get a uk used galaxy S2 but when we got to the market, what we saw were refurbished phones being sold in showcases.He wanted to buy an unlocked AT&T galaxy s2 sky rocket from one of them for 30k but I asked him to go home and think about it.The phones looked very clean and all of them had tags from companies that refurbished them.Have you ever had a bad experience from refurbished or showcase phones.

i also want to get an htc my touch 4g refurbished for 15k but am confuse wheather to go ahead or i should by tecno d5. pls advice.

Before you pay for the my touch check if it's d one with the good screen by turning the phone to an angle of 45 degrees, if the display appears faded then don't buy buy if it appears very bright that's the good screen, most HTC refurbished come with good battery so u just might get a good one.

I have never used or bought any refurbished phone. I would suggest better buy net phone because refurbished though look very good and clean but after all it is refurbished phone and might have some fault in it.

Never used one b4

No EXPERIENCE!

pls what is the difference....tokunbo and refurbs

Sorry, that Question Is Not For Me Cause All My Phones are straight From the C.E.O of The Company.Like My Blackberry I Bought It From The C.E.O Of RIM(Research In Motion) In Canada#Continue Puffing My Cuban Cigar#

I bought a blackberry bold3 phone from garrison in port harcourt for 17k and within a month I flashed the fone after a new memory card crashed the phone, I changed the battery and without any thing happening the screen had a crack which on its own started drawing a line on the screen from top to bottom of the screen. All in one month

Na my name

Since I started using phones, I haVe never bought brand new and I can assure u that they all served me well!

I have a blackberry that is an amalgam of bold 4 and bold 2 ,appworld never works, and normal browser can't download more than 8mb,and people are always asking me which of the model it is. Get the real thing

Frankly speaking , I had an ugly experience with refurbished phone. I don't wanna go into details but I advise you to buy a direct London used phone if you don't have money for new phone instead of buying a refurbished phone . Dr Okpokwu Sunnie speaking .

Refurbished phones? they are as good as the new ones, it just the problem of weak battery and no users guide, which you can buy better b3 and who knows,if you are smart like me, you don't need manual.
Am using HTC hd7 and enjoying it!

i still dont get it .what is the difference between a refurbished phone and a used one?most of the phones been advertised here on nl are used ones too,and yet many of them work .

Well ¶ think all ‎​И̣̣̣̥a luck oh!
Got this refurbished  and I've used it for 2 yrs running. Only ish I've had is with the ba3 and track ball. So really ‎​И̣̣̣̥a lotto you dey play. So if you know say U̶̲̥̅̊я̲̅ head gud, you can try refurb, if not my brother go for new wan

Its like buying a tokumbo (used car) anything you see after purchase you take! It's a trade of luck!

how much you buy am?

jossy01:

mods see work

Is it not money?? Spend it...even if u buy refurbished and it doesn't last u buy another one, if u cn't afford it hola @ me & i will buy for you....okay! #i got too much money#

It's all about being fortunate to get a good one. Me before buying I usually check them extensively and ask d dealer for a probation period or u may say warranty period which usually range between 48hours to 72hours

Mine was a BB torch 1 and I am sure I was the 4th person to use it if not more.
From the white man that used it, to the guy that sold it to my sister, then from my sister that used that Phone recklessly, then to poor me that wanted to use a BB.
I spent not less than 10k to put the phone in order.
I had to change the screen flex twice, the case, and plenty other flex.........SHM....#ComputerVillage.
But.. the most Annoying thing was that the phone just served me for 3 months, the 1st 2 months was without any BB subscription, while at the 3rd month I decided to subscribe. just at the end of my subscription, the button for E became so stiff that I had to use so much force on it while PINGING!
To cut the long story short, I woke up one evening after having a sunny day to realize that the screen's resolution was like that of water color, I quickly removed my battery for a hard reset,putting the phone on,it worked fine for 5 mins and turn into water color again, not only that, the screen immediately turned white and went black.
Since that day eh.............. I had to go back to my 1st love, Samsung C5152 Double sim which developed another screen problem last Sunday. Presently I am using a Nokia torch-lite double sim phone!.........

the truth is over 60%of phones been used by nigerians are second hand .it all boils down to luck.

9jadelta: how much you buy am?

It goes between 16k to 20k depending on your location. And for the record, you would not be able to access window live Id with your mtn. If you must install app. Use etisalat line
