Buying refurbished phones

[Hatch]

Always seems to be a bit dodgy myself, but it does seem to be much better deals with a refurb phone,

 

Is there any reason why i should not do it?

 

Iphone 5 by the way, I am referring to.

I cant see any reason why not - especially if the saving is significant.

Bought the Mrs a refurb Sony Xperia P - £129 from O2 instead of retail £240. No issues with it apart from it not coming in an original box, and no instructions.

thats what normally mean by refurbished from the big carriers and i,ve never had a problem with any of them ..and normally they are products returned or a small defect which the manufacture renews so its has good as new.
