How to buy used mobile phones
- Find out the price of a brand new phone of same brand and model.A used cell phone’s price shouldn’t cost you more than the standard price.
- Check whether the phone is locked(i.e locked to a cell phone service provider).Phones locked to a cell phone service provider do not permit the use of SIM cards from another service providers.You can easily verify that the phone is not locked to another service provider by inserting your SIM and then making a call to a friend.
- Know your phone dealer:do not buy used mobile phones from just anyone. Try to buy from a used cell phone dealer with a good reputation.
- Find out extra information on the mobile phone's condition: how old it is and whether there are known problems. Ask questions and inspect the cell phone carefully before purchasing.Look for any noticeable damage.At least test the basic functions such as switching on and off, making a call, sending an SMS, taking photo with the Camera, listening to Radio, sending some file through Bluetooth, listening to some MP3s, changing flash memory, using the headset, browsing internet etc. note the battery level at the beginning and recheck after sometime of heavy use (I'll suggest you keep playing Music or Radio for the half an hour) if you notice a drastic decrease in the battery level, that may be a sign of a weak battery.
- Buy a used mobile phone with warranty.Try to buy a used mobile phone with an extended warranty. Avoid buying a used mobile phone that does not allow returns, even if you find that the cell phone was damaged prior to purchase.
