Just found the refurbished iPhone 4 on the 3 network - £69 upfront cost for the phone on a 24 month £30 per month contract - http://www.3-direct.co.uk/mobile-reviews/apple/iphone-4/414/

arh thanks for clearing that up for me, i was looking at the one plan, thats prob why i couldnt see refurbished! x

Just to be clear, the 3 stores do not sell refurbished/refreshed iPhone 4's on any tariff - only brand new handsets.

From what I've seen on their website previously, they have sold refurbished/refreshed iPhone 4's and it does state it is a 'refreshed' phone. These were the same price as brand new stock.

The One Plan offer at £35 per month and £69 up front is still very competitive and you can definitely get that offer with a brand new iPhone in their stores.

I wouldn't purchase anything but a brand new handset, especially if there is no saving to be made.

Hi. Thought I could help here.

The 'Refreshed' (refurbished) iPhone 4 that Three does isn't currently available direct from their stores - including online.

They have chosen to sell these through affiliated websites like the one mentioned above and refurbished-phones.co.uk

There is definitely a saving to be had. Currently £5 per month on the One Plan. 24 x 5 = £120 saving

Just a general tip. Don't always assume that all deals are available directly from retailers. Some partners are very good at securing exclusives

Hope that helps

I've just tried to find the site that you mentioned...ie www.refreshed-phones.co.uk and it doesn't seem to exist?

You can get refurbished phones direct from 3 so not sure what the post about 'refreshed mobiles' is about -

That's not 3. They are three.co.uk

That's an affiliate partner. My point entirely.

Bit confusing for anyone that searches three.co.uk for the refreshed iPhone as the page is hidden
