How To Detect A Refurbished Cell Phones
Photo Credits:ehow.comYou all know how cell phones are getting smarter and that is why the
majority of people is switching to Smartphones. These are easy to use,
fast and fun; however, Smartphones' prices are still a prohibitive
factor. This can lead you to an alternative retail outlet to buy one.
Buying a Smartphone through an alternative retailer definitely saves
your money, but, how will you make sure that a retailer is not selling
you a refurbished item claiming it as a new piece. So, let's take some
insight into the process of identifying refurbished devices from the
original ones. There are a few tips and tricks which will help you to
determine the difference between the two.
First step is the cell phone's mobile carrier. As we all know most of
the smartphones are "locked" to a specific mobile carrier; the mobile
carriers could give you very valuable information about the phone. In
other words, they can simply tell you if that cell phone has ever been
registered with them to connect it to the network. All they need is an
IMEI number, an ESN number, or some other unique number. In any case
they can reveal the phone's previous history if they want to. However,
there might be chances of them not giving you the desired information.
In that case you have another option to contact the Smartphones
manufacturer. The manufacturers keep all the records of their serviced
units whether repaired or refurbished. They can use the serial number
of the phone to let you know the desired information.
Next in line is purchasing unlocked Smartphones. Unlocked Smartphone
means that the phone has been altered to be used on any carrier's
network and this is okay. Retailers try to increase the market of the
phone by unlocking it to connect to the multiple networks. However,
you need to be careful while going for an unlocked Smartphone. The
phone may not reveal any previous history of being connected to a
different carrier. Secondly, unlocking a phone may also void the
warranty in some cases. Warranty information is another "must' look
into. Brand new Smartphone always come with a warranty of at least one
year. However, the typical warranty period of refurbished smartphones
is 90 days. So it is much easier to identify a refurbished unit if it
is being sold as a "new" Smartphone with a 90-day warranty. Take care
of that!
Apart from all the above mentioned ways to find refurbished
Smartphones, you can also check the packaging of the unit to determine
its brand new status. You can investigate the condition of the
packing, the serial number mentioned on the box and serial number on
the phone, by using this code
*06#
and *#0000#
Remove the back cover and also take a look in the battery compartment
area. In a few cases, the unit itself reveals the state of
refurbishment, all you need to do is a careful examination of the
physical unit in hand and watch, you will see a sticker of the company
that refurbished it . Last but not the least is the price itself,
compare it and see for yourself.
My advice today will be don't boarder yourself to venture into that to
avoid regrets and disatisfaction instead, safe money to Purchase a new
cell phone that will satisfy your wants.
