Why all these false insinuations? I live here in UK and i can authoritatively tell you that most of these UK used phones are good without any hidden faults. Here in UK, 90% of Nigerians and other UK residents took their phones on 2 years contracts with monthly payments. These clean and good phones become available for sale when your phone contracts end and you are given the newest phone by your network provider while upgrading after 2 years. So we tend to sell the last phone on contract instead of carrying both the old contract phone and the new one. I have my IPhone 6 Plus now which i intend to sell cos i just upgraded my contract after 2 years and i was given Iphone 8. This is how it works in UK 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lol, eeyah. Pele dear Bought my LG nexus4 as UK used, changed the bat3 and panel once tho, but i used it for 3yrs, 2months. Just gave it to my bro cos i wanted something different, now i use a Samsung S5 sport Uk used, its been 3months and still havent detected any issue wit it. I think the secret is buying from a reliable store and making sure u get a good quality one. Just like every used stuff, grades and quality shud matter to the buyer. I cant pay 50k for a used fone and expect the same experience with someone who bought his or hers for 10k. cristianisraeli: |

why does everything sold in nigeria has to be used? or tokunbo or second/third hand "belgium". one time i forgot to buy bath towel on one of my visits to nigeria i asked my niece to buy me one in nigeria, she said it was 5000 naira, i said no problems. Guess what? she bought a second hand, tokunbo, third hand towel for me! can you imagine? "used belgium" towel for me! she even bought some used, tokunbo, second hand "belgium" pant (underwear) for herself! chai! what ever happens to buying NEW products in nigeria? i don't know! 1 Like |

demsid:Bro, don't ever buy a used phone if the first user isn't known to you and also close to you. Main advantage of brand new phone is a good and genuine battery plus the peace of mind associated with using a fault-free device. In the end, brand new phones are relatively cheaper when you factor in, 1. superior duration of fault-free use(durability), 2. Less frequent or even zero visits to phone repair shops, 3. No need for separate purchase of charger, earpiece, battery etc, 4. Zero security risk unlike for used phones which may actually be stolen. 5. Higher efficiency and so on. 2 Likes |

[quote author=dramaticspeak post=61319285]The only advantage the customer who walks into a shop to get a brand new phone has over the user of a UK used phone is the fact that the brand new phone comes with original charger and earpiece. Getting a UK used phone, you would have to get those separately and most times people end up getting fake which they know and will spoil the phone. It is advisable the users of UK used phones seek to buy “follow come” accessories. They are more expensive but they will last as against the “original” 1k or 1k5 chargers people commonly buy. Let me make it clear here that there is a difference between Nigerian used and UK used phones. Nigerian used phones as the name implies, refers to the phones used by Nigerians and put up for sale. Several reasons make Nigerians want to sell their phones. They include: The fact that they want to upgrade to a higher version of a particular phone, They are in need of urgent cash.CAN YOU SEND ME A GOOD ANDROID 5 UK USED.I STAY IN ABA |

For now, I prefer UK used Phones simply because it's what I can afford for standard. And even if I get rich enough to buy Brand new phones, I wouldn't still buy ones shipped to be sold in Nigeria, instead would import brand new device. #myOpinion 1 Like |

It depends on individual on the type he want, maybe UK used or new phone. But to me I prefer UK used phone because of d quantity of their products. I order a Motorola phone from ebay that is produce since 2014 and d configuration is better than tecno phone that was release some month ago in times of RAM, memory, battery and durability. Most phone dealer in Nigeria are just taking advantage of people by importing scrap to naija. |
