Buying a refurbished iphone

NameUnavailable

Hi,

Has anyone bought a used iphone from one of the various dealers who offer them? Was it OK and who did you buy from?

Thanks

I bought an iPhone from the music magpie eBay shop when there was an extra 20% off voucher. Arrived in good condition and no issues with it (had it 7 months)

That's all I ever buy, a model 2-3 generations old is good for 3-4 years.

I've bought directly from sellers, but last time I purchased through Amazon.

Hi OP
Check the intial warranty and IMO, if they are good for three months then they should be ok

One of our kids bought a refurb and returned it when it developed a fault and bought new since. However, there is a mass market and I'm sure there are good ones and our children swear by iphones as thye are better built according to them and i have one of their old iphones 8/9 years old still works.

Good luck

I bought an iPhone from Giffgaff. It was in excellent condition and worked great. I didn't keep it though as I found that I prefer Android, but it was a perfectly good phone. Giffgaff have a 21-day, no quibble returns policy so you can't go wrong with them really.

Black market but wherever you buy from read the description including what excellent or good means

Another vote for Music Magpie. Used them 3 times great service, no problems with the phones or ipad

Assume that is a typo for "Back Market"?

No it's the name of a larger reseller. Yeah black market seems a bit strange. Blackmarket.co.uk
