Is this refurbished?
|
|
|
| I purchased a Motorola V3 via Cingular (they sent it through the mail).
Without going into detail as to why, I think the phone may be refurbished
instead of new. Is there anyway to tell for sure? Would the part number or
anything printed on Motorola's label inside the phone be different?
Thanks in advance... Fred

| The easiest way to tell is by noting the box it came in.
Was it in an original Motorola Blue and White box or a Cingular Orange and
White box?

Would the lifetime timer on a "refurbished" phone reflect its non-new
status?

| Having purchased a number of phones from Cingular, I have
never received a phone from them in a manufacturer-branded
box; they have always been in a Cingular-branded orange,
green, and white box.

| If you look on the inside (take the battery out) and notice little circles
(stickers):
oranger and/or any other color = refurbished
white stickers = new
no stickers=new
I just found this out the other day when they were trying to determine if
mine was new or not.

Try calling MOTO and giving them the serial or the IMEI number

| I will. I didn't notice until today that the box had a sticker covering up
the bar code with a new IMEI printed on it! I guess that says it all unless
they say they are refurbishing boxes and not phones!

| Remove the battery and there is a sticker. If there is a sticker over a
stick then you more than likely have a refurb...
