What is the difference between new and refurbished phones?<\/h3>\n
When you buy a brand new phone, you’re the first to use it. Refurbished phones however, have been owned by someone else, but refurbished to function just as a brand new phone would. Refurbished does not mean lower quality. In fact, all of All of musicMagpie\u2019s phones and tech are Certified Refurbished to show it\u2019s passed our 90-point checks. Plus, buying a refurbished phone is cheaper and more sustainable than buying brand new.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want your phone to look new and cover any cosmetic blemishes that may have come with your refurbished phone, you can simply get a phone case. It’ll protect your phone too!<\/p>\n You will have peace of mind knowing that a refurbished device has been fully tested and there is a warranty in place, should you need to use it. If you change your mind within 14 days, you\u2019ll be able to return the device to musicMagpie for a full refund. This is unlikely to be an option with a used phone.<\/p>\n A used phone, simply put, is a phone that has belonged to someone else. Without the checks in place, you have no real idea of what kind of condition the phone is in. There is little protection for you as the consumer should there be any issue with the device when you buy from an individual seller through the likes of Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n For an issue such as the phone isn\u2019t as described, like you get a 16GB model instead of 32GB, you will need to raise it with the seller. If they don\u2019t do anything about it, you can take them to small claims court but this can end up being costly.<\/p>\n If you buy a phone online from a private seller \u201d\u201c particularly if you don\u2019t know them \u201d\u201c make sure you pay through PayPal. Should there be a problem, PayPal has buyer protection in place if the item isn\u2019t as described. eBay can help you too, but they also suggest paying through PayPal.<\/p>\n Purchasing a device through an online retailer will mean you are covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which won\u2019t be the case when you buy from an individual private seller.<\/p>\n Buying a pre-owned phone from a private seller also means you won\u2019t have a warranty should anything go wrong and you don\u2019t have any guarantee the phone has been properly wiped of all its data.<\/p>\n A second hand or “preowned” phone, is a phone that has been previously owned by someone else.<\/p>\n Save cash and get the same great features by switching to refurbished Phones<\/a> today!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n All refurbished phones are technically second hand, but have been quality checked to make sure they function just as a brand new phone would. Someone will sell a mobile phone<\/a> to us, which we’ll refurbish to pass on to someone new at a fraction of high street prices (or we’ll recycle it with a trusted recycler). It’s smart for you, smart for the planet!<\/p>\nWhat is the difference between refurbished and used?<\/h3>\n
