I buy refurbished phone too and have a som only contract. The money this saves over the years is astronomically eye watering and I don't think people.reslise. I know not everyone has the cash finds available to purchase our right but if you do it really is a fantastic option. My last 2 phones I've got off eBay, repritable stores and pay with PayPal. I've never had a problem with either of my purchases at all. I also go for the best refurb option.
It seems like a lot of people fall into this disposable culture but really these bit of tech with refurbs or new batteries have a hell of a shelf life.... Cheaper, perfectly good piece of kit and it is helping with waste what's not to love!
