A refurbished phone is a handset sold again rather than as brand new. It may have been checked or repaired before resale, but the work carried out can differ. The key is knowing its condition and exactly what's included.
Most of the phones in this range are iPhones, including models from the iPhone 11, 12 and 13 generations. First choose the model, then compare storage and condition. A 64GB phone may suit someone who uses cloud storage, while 128GB or 256GB gives more space for downloaded apps, photos and videos, where those options are available.
A condition grade usually describes visible wear, such as marks on the screen or casing. It doesn't automatically tell you how well the battery holds charge. Look for a clear explanation of the grade, battery information and the applicable returns or warranty terms.
Some iPhones are listed as UK, US or EU versions. The SIM setup and supported network features can differ, so confirm that the exact handset is unlocked and suitable for your mobile provider. If the product says 'handset only', don't assume a charger or other accessories are supplied.

It depends on the listing. 'Handset only' may mean no charger or other extras are supplied, so look at the stated box contents before choosing.
Read the warranty and returns terms for the phone you're buying. Refurbished phones bought from a retailer are still covered by your applicable consumer rights.
