When it comes time to upgrade their devices, many iPhone® users weigh the pros and cons of buying from a cellular provider or searching for an unlocked used iPhone for sale. Choosing the latter could ensure you get the phone you want while paying less money in the long run. Here’s why a refurbished, unlocked iPhone should be your next purchase.  

Unlocked iPhones Don’t Bind Users to Specific Carrier Coverage  

used iPhone for saleWhen you buy an iPhone from a mobile service provider, the device comes locked. This means it will only work with the carrier’s subscriber identification module (SIM) card. From HD-quality video streaming to mobile hot spot functionality, you will pay service rates for the features attached to a carrier’s specific plans.

A used iPhone for sale will come unlocked, which means the device will work with any SIM card. Because you aren’t tied to a service agreement, you can switch out the card at any time. If you find a competitor with more affordable rates, you can switch without having to buy a new device or even negotiate with the carrier you are already happy with. If you travel abroad, buying an unlocked used iPhone will cut down on costs because you can purchase cards in the places you visit to avoid international service rates. 

Cost of an Unlocked Used iPhone Is Recouped in Resale Value

To cut down on initial costs, many people choose to lease phones from carriers. Payments are then made over the length of the warranty. From changes in service rates to late fees, expenses incurred over the length of leasing the phone could amount to much more than the purchase price. We often have phones that are less than 1 year old. Opting to get a used iPhone for sale means you won’t be vulnerable to a carrier’s lease agreement. The retail price for a slightly used product is less expensive than new merchandise sold by a carrier. Making the necessary updates to the refurbished phone and installing a protective slip to prevent damage will boost the resale value. When you’re ready to upgrade, you could get a better trade-in price.
