What does "refurbished" mean when talking about a phone?

Should I buy a refurbished phone off the internet?

Answer #1

New is new, by definition the refubished one is something that some one else already returned because it didn’t work

Answer #2

That means it’s used, but the company is selling it again. There’s nothing wrong with a refurbished phone. If you need a phone, you should get it. But I suggest you look at it first for scratches/water damage, etc.

Answer #3

Most of the time they are ok or in “like new condition” depending on who you are buying it from but there are also the ones that arent which is very disapointing. You get what you pay for, and if the savings is just minimal, then I’d go new then you have the warranty to back it up.
