The last two decades have been an eye-opener about how important a mobile phone has become to each one of us. Can you even begin to imagine a life without mobile phones? I am sure most of you said a big fat NO.

According to a study, it was found that nearly 9 out of 10 Australians own and use a smartphone. And, many prefer a refurbished phone, too. So, let’s understand what does refurbished mobile phones actually mean

What are refurbished phones?

Have you ever thought about what happens to a brand new phone, which you return within the return period? They do not throw this phone away or dismantle it. The companies go forward with a deep and thorough check and try to find out the fault. Once they have a solution, they take care of it, add a newer factory warranty, wipe out the data, and sell it under the label of refurbished phone.

These phones are usually cheap and also come with a limited warranty period. The phone’s history is also specified depending on the previous ownership time, how old is the make and build of the hardware and software respectively, etc. You can find refurbished mobile phones online, but it is always better to look for trustworthy sellers nearby.

Refurbished Phones – the ultimate checklist

Now that you know what refurbished phones are and are planning to buy one, here are some factors that you must consider to ensure that your investment is not wasted.

If you are buying a refurbished phone, you need to ensure that the entire data of the prior ownership is wiped off from the mobile phone. If you come across any data from past ownership, it is advisable that you do not buy the phone as it may not have undergone all security checks. This is a mandatory check, which you have to perform at all times.

·          Check for Warranty

When you are looking for your dream phone online, make sure you do not just dive into purchasing. You also have to check if there’s a warranty. A warranty ensures your security in case if things go wrong in the first year. So, it goes without saying that you must opt-out if there is no warranty.

·          Assess the condition of the Accessories too

The mobile you purchased may be great but if it’s not in working condition, your whole investment will be rendered useless. If you are not quite satisfied with your refurbished mobile phone, you can always opt for a better one, or purchase a different phone. However, only buy a refurbished mobile phone if its accessories and the handset are in pristine order, devoid of any physical trauma, scratches, cracks, etc.

·          Ask for a valid invoice with the IMEI number and ownership history

If there were golden rules for buying refurbished mobile phones online, this had to be the one with the greatest value. When you go out to buy refurbished mobile phones, make sure you come home with a valid invoice and the handset history – depicting how old it is and how much the previous owner used it.

This is to save yourself from all the trouble if the handset is stolen and then refurbished or if the warranty is applicable or is null and void.

·          Look for the best price for Your refurbished phone

The reason why people go for refurbished phones is that a newer version of the same phone is available at a higher price point. Hence, only go for a refurbished option if the price difference is way too high, and there is no option for you to afford a newer one.

·          Explore the various available schemes available

There are a lot of financing schemes available when you are looking to buy a refurbished phone. Many of the banks provide sweet EMI options, while some offer leasing solutions, too. All these things need to be assessed before you decide to buy.

Over to you…

So, if you are trying to make up your mind to purchase refurbished mobile phones online, this article will guide you through the entire process.

An interesting study showed that 94% of Australians leave their home with their mobile phones, and I am sure you are one of them. Just follow what is given in the article and you will be able to buy amazing refurbished mobile phones online.
