kitbag Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 hi guys!! I only got a new phone a few months ago. i was checking on the chooks and i fell over getting all muddy, so i had to wash my school uniform. (i was playing a solo in the school concert later that evening!) It was only after i washed my trousers, that i realised i had also managed to wash my phone! I was looking at new phones just now, and i came across this thing called reconditioned phones! Its where people that don't want of need their phones anymore can give it to a phone shop, the shop cleans it up and sells it on again!! So i have just brought a very nice phone for £20, but if it was new it would have been nearer to £100! HOORAY!! And it is just like new!! I'm so pleased i just had to tell you all! (and it is recycling!!) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 That's good news. I have heard of reconditioned phones-but only because the daughter of my Mum's friend had spectacularly managed to end up throwing her phone in the pond whilst trying to lock the door one morning!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 That's a good deal . Well done! Is it an online shop or a "real" one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 That's a good deal . Well done! Is it an online shop or a "real" one? It was on the Orange website. Most of the reconditioned phones on there are for around £20, and apparently most people can't tell the difference between a new phone and a reconditioned phone! How good is that!!??

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Ooh, ooh, I'm with Orange . I'll be back in a minute . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I've just had a look on the website, it looks quite good, and really cheap! This is the link if anyone else was interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Well done! I've had a couple of reconditioned phones from Orange - fantastic value and great phones (resold one on ebay for the same as I paid for it!!!) That sounds as though I bought it to sell on again - I didn't! Used it for a few months then changed as had a car with a phone cradle already fitted and wanted a phone to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 That's excellent. I don't think there's anything quite like getting a new 'phone to play with....I'm still that Penguinmad has the new Nokia N96!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 The only thing is, it keeps playing random music really loudly, and in the middle of Windsor, it is THE most embarrasing thing ever! It is now permanently on silent!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Why's it playing music? Bit of a bargain tho!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Wow that's worth knowing, thanks. My eldest son has a tendency to lose things so I'm reluctant to buy him a new phone but he does need a mobile as he gets the train for school.

Janty Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 We are due phone upgrades soon.Hubby is looking at the Sony Ericsson W595 and I am hoping for a Blackberry Storm. I have always had the Sony Ericcson P series phones with touch screens, etc but they have stopped making them. Ah well, my upgrade is due on 3th Novemberand the Storm is out on 6th November. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
