What Are the Benefits of a Refurbished Blackberry?

There are a few reasons why a refurbished Blackberry might be an attractive option:

  • A refurbished cell phone is generally less expensive than a brand new one. Because these phones aren't technicially new, they are generally sold for a significant discount.

  • A reputable manufacturer can assure that a refurbished, reconditioned, or remanufactured phone is as reliable as a new one. RIM, the maker of the Blackberry, is indeed reputable. These phones are sometimes returned to the manufacturer simply because a buyer decides they don't want them or they may have a small defect. The manufacturer refurbishes the phone, makes any needed repairs, and may even warrant the phone like a new one. A reputable manufacturer will put the phone back on to the market only once it truly functions like a new phone.

  • Many refurbished phones offer greater freedom. Many can be purchased without the need to commit to a contract. Such phones may be unlocked, allowing the new owner to use the service of their choice.

    • Things to Consider When Buying a Refurbished Blackberry

    There are a few points to research and consider before purchasing a refurbished or used Blackberry.

  • Who is offering the phone?
    Anytime you make a purchase, it's wise to know the reputation of the seller. Certainly, if a Blackberry is refurbished by RIM, the original manufacturer, you can be sure the parts are reliable. In other instances, there may be a second party, be sure you know the reputation of that second party vendor. A discounted Blackberry isn't a good deal if it doesn't function or has no service backing it. Check to see what type of return policy there is on the phone before buying.

  • What is the Warranty?
    Ideally a refurbished Blackberry will have a full one year warranty. Some however may be covered for a shorter period of time. Be sure you know the details before you buy.

  • Contract or No Contract?
    Some of these remanufactured phones will come tied to a cellular contract with a particular provider. That's fine if you're happy with that service and the plans they offer. However, if you want to be able to use the service of your choice then a Blackberry that is free of any service plan is a better option. Certainly an unlocked Blackberry can also offer the advantage of allowing you to use the phone with any compatible service. It's then a matter of installing the appropriate SIM card and activating the phone.
