As I know.. Don't buy refubrished phones.. Prices are little BIT lower but all refubrished phones are repaired and don't last and work like NEW.

I receive lot of fualty refubrished phones. which can't be repair.

Because thay already repaired by chinese.

Best Regards,
Wahab

have you seen refubrish dct4

and prise diffrance only 10 to 15$

they just change batt connecter,charging conncter and A-cover

key pad also malfunction must be duplicate keypad

but people stiil byes that phones

in dct 3 5110 and 3310 are most comman as *#war0anty# can be changed

also from last week samsung N620 refurnished also available
with diffrent imei people comes to me for repair imei thats on back body this phones have comman problem of keypad not working

so i can say its point of view
if you are technician then you will earn more money with refurnished phones
but custemor and dealer point of view you will be in troubles as some are unrepairable

I think it depends on who you buy from.

Many of the chinnese rerfurbished phones are repaired BER handsets, so obviously you will get faults.

A proper refurbished phone, is a 100% working used phones which has had the ********* changed. So as long as the phones works correctly to start with refurbishing them will not cause faults.

As with anything, you buy at the cheapest price you will get problems with phones. Find a good supplier and you should be OK.

Yes "it depends on who does the work", But in majorety it's not
well done, cause it needs steps Ithink not coverd all correctly.

- Throughly fixation (every detaile).
- Complete cleaning .
- optimum calibrage (wintesla,full functioning not cracked).
- testing for 3 days or some thing like that, for checking stability.
- Recalibrage with wintesla compairing the difference.
Now how many have the will to do that all , and if have did have the patience.!!
