Is Refurbished The Best Way To Buy A Cheap iPhone?

When it comes to buying an iPhone there are various options available, you could buy a used phone direct from a member of the public via an online auction site, buy a phone out right from a network provider or of course take out a long term contract. However it’s worth remembering that associating the word cheap with any purchase can often mean elements of risk are involved.

For example, buying an iPhone direct from another member of the public means that you aren’t usually covered within any warranty or guarantee. You could alternatively go direct to an air time dealer for your iPhone however that probably isn’t going to be the cheapest way to purchase. This is where refurbished iPhones come in.

Refurbished iPhones offer great value for money but also peace of mind through a warranty. Therefore, they are a great choice when trying to buy on the cheap.



Most reputable refurbished phone sellers will offer a comprehensive 12 month guarantee period which is fundamentally the same as the manufacturer warranty that would accompany a brand new phone. Coupling the savings of a refurbished device with a SIM only contract is becoming an increasingly popular way of upgrading your device, not only does it represent great value for money but it is also very flexible in terms of contact length and any desire there may be for early upgrades.

By the end of 2017 it was estimated that 34% off the UK’s Mobile phone users were on a SIM only plan and this will continue to rise to an estimated 54 percent by 2021. (https://www.ccsinsight.com/blog/uk-adoption-of-sim-only-plans-gathers-pace/)
