Social tariffs

We'll include special social tariffs in your results that are offered to those on certain benefits - do check eligibility criteria with the provider as it varies by firm.

You don't get the original accessories

With refurbished phones, you may not get any of the original accessories the phone came with when new, such as plugs and earphones - but you'll usually get a cable to charge it.

Most offer a 12-month warranty

Most retailers offer a 12-month warranty on refurbished phones, though always check first before buying. Under the warranty, the retailer will fix most technical issues that occur during the first year you own the refurb.

Most allow free returns for up to 30 days

Retailers generally offer free returns on refurbished phones. You usually have either 14 or 30 days to return it if you're not happy (it varies depending on the retailer). It should be a straightforward process to return it in this period, as most have dedicated processes.

You can still insure your phone

Insurance providers will usually let you insure you phone even if it's a refurb, and it shouldn't cost any extra. So if you want to protect your phone against accidental damage, loss or theft, see Mobile phone insurance for more info.
