If you have ever had a damaged Verizon cell phone and have taken your phone into a Verizon Wireless store to get a replacement you are probably aware that they will offer you a refurbished phone. A little over a year ago I had a damaged cell phone and when I took it into the store I was given the option to choose from the
refurbished Verizon cell phones. This was a great option at the time because I really didn’t want to pay full price to purchase a new phone. When you have a damaged phone and Verizon won’t replace it free of charge you basically have two options. You can pay the full retail price for any phone in the store or for $50 bucks you can get a refurbished Verizon cell phone. I chose to go with the second option and pay the $50 bucks. This was my first experience with a refurbished phone and I was confused when they took the battery and battery cover off of my old phone and put it in my new phone. I felt this was unfair at the time and asked them why I did not get a new battery. They quickly stated that this was standard procedure and that all refurbished phones do not come with a battery. Since this was standard procedure I did not have much choice at this point unless I wanted to pay $300 dollars for a new phone. If you do have a damaged cell phone and Verizon will not replace it for free, just ask about getting a refurbished mobile phone and save the money you would have spent. You might need to buy a new battery on eBay if your old one is going bad. I know mine was shot and eBay had the exact battery for my phone model.
