refurbed phones Good? Bad? Ugly?
In looking at the ATT page, I noted they offer refurbed 5's Looking into one of these. For example, A refurbed 32 gig device is $199 with service agreement. Pros? Cons? I am sure I would not be too far out on my own were I to buy a refurbed unit through them? Ray T.

200 bucks for a refurbished phone on a term? That seems a bit steep, especially if the term is 3 years. I guess if you can buy apple care on that phone you might consider it.

RE: refurbed phones Good? Bad? Ugly?
Well, that's a bit more reasonable. I still say make sure you can get apple care on it though. In fact, I advize people buying new phones on term to go for the extended warrantee. It's not worth locking yourself in for that long without it. "Ray T. Mahorney" wrote: I used that 32 as an example they also have a 16 gig for $99 Ray T.

Re: refurbed phones Good? Bad? Ugly?
I had a refurbished 3gs. It was fine until it needed mic repair, the guy I had do it was really surprised about how they'd used glue on places he didn't expect glue. If it comes with a full warranty, I wouldn't be too worried. On 4/23/2013 04:48, Ray T. Mahorney wrote: In looking at the ATT page, I noted they offer refurbed 5's Looking into one of these.
