Should i get a refurbished iphone 5s?

I saw it really cheap on groupon but I've never had a refurbished phone so i don't know what would be wrong with it

First if all, refurbished phone are mostly from oversea which has very low 2nd hand trade value like in China. First, please don't buy online as we can't spot fake iphone. 2nd, if you buy from store, do ask mobile expert go with you for check up.

I have purchased refurbished phones in the past. But they were directly from my cell phone company Net10. I would not purchase a refurbished phone from someone else.

If it is refurbished, then it may well be as new, or have only very minor marks on the casing. That's especially true if this is a groupon offer. The things you need to be concerned about are, 1) what are groupon's terms regarding returns if it isn't in good, clean, working order, and 2) is it unlocked, because a locked iphone either has to be jailbroken (cheaper but not entirely great), unlocked, which is very expensive to have done, or used with the carrier it is locked to.

  • Should I just get my cracked iPhone fixed or get a refurbished one? I have an iPhone 4 and I cracked the front pretty badly. The back only had on crack across it but the front is bothering me. Would it be better to pay $200 at apple to get it fixed? Or buy a refurbished one from them! Help! I'm a little nervous to attempt fixing it myself. I'm NOT good with things like that and after watching a video I'm 95% sure I'd ruin the phone/lose a screw lol.
  • Should I go for an iphone 4s or a refurbished 5? Five found a deal on O2 network for a refurbished iphone 5 16gb (comes with a 3 month warranty) or an iphone 4s 16gb, both the same price. Thoughts please? I'm more tempted to go for the 5 because i trust o2 and seeing as I plan to have my phone a few years, id prefer a bigger more up to date one!
