What is a refurbished phone?
A refurbished phone is not like a normal second-hand phone. It may have been returned by a customer for having a fault that the manufacturer has then repaired and sold it on as a refurb.

The customer may have sold it back to the retailer or phone company so they can upgrade. Or if you're really lucky, they may simply have changed their minds and returned it unused, in which case you'll essentially have a brand new phone but for less.

Before it's sold on, the manufacturer or retailer will check it, repair it and ensure it is up to a certain standard. Then they will sell it to you, although probably without the standard box or accessories you get with a new handset.

Not all manufacturers sell refurbished phones but a retailer will have a similarly high standard of refurbishment and it should tell you if the phone is not ‘as new'. Sometimes, these handsets are referred to as 'refreshed' or 'reconditioned'.

So what are the pros and cons of a refurbished phone, and is one right for you?

Pros

It's cheaper. A lot cheaper. A refurbished phone can save you hundreds of pounds upfront or over the lifetime of the contract.
It's been professionally checked and repaired, unlike a typical second-hand phone.
There will be a warranty period (although it's important to check how long).
It's more affordable if you want to buy the phone outright and use a cheaper, less restrictive SIM-only or pay-as-you-go contract.
As well as extensive testing, the company has to wipe any data left by the previous owner or risk falling foul of the Data Protection Act.
Cons

You'll have to wait for the next top model. If you want the very latest release, there are unlikely to be many on the refurbished market immediately and it may take a few months before one becomes available.
You may not be able to insure it. That said, some insurers will happily cover a refurbed phone, so it's worth shopping around. If you have phone insurance as part of a packaged current account then double check the small print.
The warranty will almost certainly be shorter than with a new phone.
Depending on the grade of refurbishment, the handset could have scratches and scuff marks.

Refurbished on Amazon/EBay is different from refurbished in Electronic stores in Lagos/Computer Village.

They quickly end up being dysfunctional.
Mobile phones are like television set, repair is mostly wasted money and effort.

That phone is not refurbished, it's STOLEN. Refurbished phones are original phones that had a reason for repair. They are as good as new phones because they're repaired with original parts but do not come with warranty. Sometimes it might be a minor repairs.

But you see those phones that are advertised at ridiculously cheap prices, they are either stolen or fake phones

Refurbished is like reconditioned used but restored to factory perfection

I’ve used palm treo refurbished nice experience also a used iPhone 1 in Steve Jobs debut all the phones he listed I’ve used

englishmart:
Refurbished phones are substandard versions of phones. They shouldn't be called refurbished, they should be called fake.
A refurbished phone of 64gb will take files of 2gb and be crying of low memory space. A refurbished 50mp camera has a clarity of 8mp.

Refurbished is for the less privileged.

You don't know what you're saying

In the good old days before this disaster government came to power I use to buy refurbished phones from this site, for resale for good profits, they have minor issues which are usually returned by customers (https://www.digicircle.com/), with the current exchange rate its no longer feasible for me., thanks to the useless APC government in power
Most of the phones you buy in Nigeria is coming from that website , I mean iPhones and Samsung and other big brands

Refurbished phones mean factory faulty phone

My own nah the so-called London used phones. Can anyone explain what it means? Do they use that much phones in London?

They use that much phones in London. But majority of those phones were stolen from the owners and the rest were locally used. Only a little fraction are genuine London used

Don't forget, phones used in every other parts of the world, including china, are refered to as London used in Nigeria

If its foreign its okay, run away from Nigerian used refurbished phones and laptops.

They just change casing, all other things are a mess, the boards are over soldered, charging ports don't work, just packaged junk.
