Refurbished phones may get a bad rap, but those devices can save you hundreds of dollars. You probably have heard the term “refurbished” and wondered what it means.

This article is going to tell you how you can save a lot of money by buying a refurbished phone.

When you hear the word “refurbished,” you may be turned off completely. I mean, many people have this misconception that a refurbished phone means “less than” or something that is old or malfunctioning.

What Does A Refurbished Phone Mean?

A refurbished phone means that the device has been rebuilt or fixed of its defects. Some people may believe that refurbished phones are all used or pre-owned devices. That’s not true.

Many refurbished phones are “floor models,” which means that they have been on display at retail locations.

The biggest issue with buying refurbished phones is the trust issue: Many people don’t believe that such devices are quality products.

Whether or not you can trust a refurbished device has everything to do with where you buy it and the reputation of the seller. So let’s talk about where you can buy a refurbished phone near you.

Where To Buy Refurbished Phones Near You

Here’s where you can buy refurbished phones you can trust.

Amazon

Amazon has a program called Amazon Renewed that certifies electronic devices for 90 days.

Walmart

Walmart also sells refurbished electronics, too. All of the devices include original accessories and come with a 90-day limited warranty.

Best Buy

With the help of Geek Squad, its internal technical support team, Best Buy has refurbished phones and other electronics. All of the devices are certified as well.

Here’s Why You Should Buy A Refurbished Phone

Here are three things you need to ask yourself before you buy a refurbished product:

  1. What is the seller’s return policy?
  2. Is the refurbished device certified?
  3. Is the device cheaper than a similar item that is brand new?

If you answer yes to all of those three questions, then a refurbished phone should make sense for you.
