Q: Refurbished phones come with a new battery? If not, what is the guaranteed minimum battery health?

A: Mine arrived today. It DOES NOT come with a new battery. Mine came at 81%. bleh, at this price, it feels like a total ripoff. Bad on me for assuming best buy would be decent.

Q: Is the equipment new?

A: undefined

Q: will it work with AT&T wireless service ?

A: These phones come unlocked and ready to connect to any reliable service. Best Buy ensures it arrives like any new phone. It is easy to connect on the AT&T website or in person.

    Good

    Good phone that works, fits in pockets because of its small size, although it did have a few micro scratches on the back.

    No more buying at Best Buy

    I'm actually very happy with the phone. This is my third iPhone purchase at Best Buy in Huntington - but it will be my last. With my other purchases they transferred all my info from old to new but this time I had to buy a Geek tech support membership ($192!!!). Why didn't they tell me this upfront? What a scam.
