What is a housing refurb?

A housing refurb is when the screen and the back case of the phone are refurbished. A refurbished phone is not like a normal second-hand phone. It may have been returned by a customer for having a fault that the manufacturer has then repaired and sold it on as a refurb.

The customer may have sold it back to the retailer or phone company so they can upgrade. Or if you're really lucky, they may simply have changed their minds and returned it unused, in which case you'll essentially have a brand new phone but for less.

Before it's sold on, the manufacturer or retailer will check it, repair it and ensure it is up to a certain standard. Then they will sell it to you, although probably without the standard box or accessories you get with a new handset.

Not all manufacturers sell refurbished phones but a retailer will have a similarly high standard of refurbishment and it should tell you if the phone is not ‘as new'. Sometimes, these handsets are referred to as 'refreshed' or 'reconditioned'.

The advantages of a refurbished phone

• It's cheaper.  A refurbished phone can save you hundreds of pounds upfront 
• It's been professionally checked and repaired, unlike a typical second-hand phone.
• There will be a warranty period.
• It's more affordable if you want to buy the phone outright and use a cheaper, less restrictive SIM-only or pay-as-you-go contract.
• As well as extensive testing, the company has to wipe any data left by the previous owner or risk falling foul of the Data Protection Act.

The process

Every step is geared toward making sure you get a clean, fully functional phone that’s ready to use. 

• First, we take the back of the housing and the board off the phone. Yes, we actually open the unit up. And we put a new housing on most models so that you get a clean device.
• Next, we clean the rubber mat that cushions the buttons on the inside of the phone. We make sure the interior of the phone is clean as well.
• Then we remove old components to be replaced with new ones.
• Next, we take apart the old LCD housing and put it into new housing.
• Then we put lights and new buttons in, another step in providing a phone that’s practically new.
• Next, we reassemble the phone and give it a new handset. That new handset gives you peace of mind that you’re using clean, antiseptic equipment.
• Finally, we place calls to and from the phone to ensure that it’s fully operational. We test every function the phone has to ensure it’s ready to work for you.
