Q: It says preowned but that could mean anything when it comes to the phones condition. Can I see som pictures or to get a description in some other way? Please advise.

A: Preowned phone is always a nightmare. You may end up with paying restock fees even for no fault of yours. My personal experience says, the phone had few minor scratches but clean. While examining closely , I noticed a big gap at one of the screen. Certainly that is a defect. But when I explained the store manager, they initiated the returns but charged me $35. You can definitely try your luck but be open to pay the restock fees.

Q: Will it come with everything in the box

A: Yes, it would come with everything including power adapter, Lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter, Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector, and Lightning to USB cable.

Q: What is in the box and what type of warranty does it have will there be a activation fee

A: I bought the phone as used and unlocked. So for me, there no activation fee to any wireless of my choice. I’m guessing when you buy a phone with monthly fee and tied to specific carrier then you’re tied up. My advice to you buy a phone full price if you can and unlocked. The phone is in generic box and not in original box. Not with original accessories, it comes with SIM card pin and the phone itself is original. With no visible marks or dents or scratches.

Q: is this unlocked for verizon--fully unlocked for verizon and is icloud open and clear?

A: I bought this phone about 4 months ago and have had zero issues with it on Verizon’s network, iCloud as well. It was a great alternative to going through Verizon seeing as we did not have insurance and lost a phone :) I highly recommend it!

Q: How do I know battery is good?

A: You can use it for around a month or two to see if you come up with problems. My 8 plus drains kind of quickly, so I may or may not buy this phone and just go for another apple phone. But not all phones are the same, even the same model of a phone can cause issues that others don't have. So I can't give you an accurate result as to if the battery is good and worth the price. Hopefully, this helps you know if the battery of your phone is good enough or not.

Q: Will this phone work with Tracfone ?

A: Yes, this will work with tracfone.

Q: Compatible with At&t?

A: It’s unlocked and works with all Network companies!

Q: How long is battery life on iPhone 8 plus

A: The iPhone I received is 97%.

    This phone did me good when it first came out, and it did me GREAT this time around! This was my first refurbished phone and I’ll never buy a brand new device again! But back to the device it’s self! Having the home button back was a blast of nostalgia and a great conversation starter!!! 10/10 would recommend
