Where to buy a reconditioned handset?

spiddy100

I'm looking at getting a new phone, ideally an Android smart phone. At the moment I'm on a £10 a month tariff (minutes and texts only) which suits me fine - obviously I would need some data included if I'm on a smart phone. But I'm never going to use it enough to justify a high contract cost.

I know which network I want to sign up for (Vodafone definitely have best coverage where we live) and doing the sums, the best option seems to be a SIM-only contract and picking up a pre-owned handset somewhere.

I know there are loads on Ebay etc but I'd ideally like a warranty and to know I'm not being ripped off! Does anyone know where the best place is to go for a second hand phone? Is Ebay worth a punt if you stick to trusted sellers with good feedback?

Thanks for any advice.

CPW and daughter companies sell refurbished phones, but I don't think you'll find many refurbished androids there.
IMO 'refurbished' is a bad starting point when choosing a phone.
There are new androids well below £100 around.

Check places like orange accessoires and talk mobile as their can offer a service which is great and you dont have to go through seedy places like ebay
