How do other people feel about their used phones?
According to consumer reports, the refurbished phones offered by manufacturers, cell phone carriers, and major retailers are generally "certified," which means they've been inspected and often upgraded to make sure they're in good working condition. This means these phones operate as they should, and consumers can use them like a new device.
What's the difference between pre-owned and certified pre-owned phones?
The term "certified pre-owned" refers to all pre-owned smartphones Verizon sells, which are vetted for quality and given a quality rating by Verizon before being sold to the consumer. Not all retailers certify their devices before selling them to consumers, so this is an extra step Verizon takes in quality assurance with all pre-owned devices we sell.
Is it safe to buy a pre-owned cell phone?
Yes. It is safe to buy a pre-owned phone from a trusted source that vets them for quality and ensures they are in good working condition. Verizon rates all certified pre-owned phones and makes that rating known to the consumer.
How do you know if a phone is refurbished?
All pre-owned phones at Verizon are sold as "certified pre-owned" devices.
