    I realize this is a very old phone model but it was imperative I replace my husband's old phone with one similar to his 8. He has Alzheimer's and his ability to use his phone is becoming more and more limited. i use it mainly as a GPS device in case he wonders off - he never leaves without his phone in his pocket. Good thing for now! My only complaint is I'm not convinced the battery is new or was replaced when refurbished. The charge doesn't last over 20 hours with a full charge.

    Product arrived on time and is fully functional in good condition. Battery life is so so but not abysmal (as expected for a 2020 model iPhone). Good for a secondary/back up phone which was the purchase intent.

    This used Apple SE2nd Generation fulfilled all the needs that my damaged phone had provided. Some of the software appeared to be more current than what I had been using. Best Buy owes their thanks to a T-Mobile employee that recommended this used product to me as an economnical way of replacing a damaged phone.

    I have bought a pre-owned iphone 12 from Amazon and it had exceeded number of accounts allowed on the phone so I ended up having to return it to Amazon. I came to Best Buy and after explaining my need to the guy at the counter he immediately found this pre-owned iphone se for me and is in perfect condition and I was able to add my account with no problem. My only complaint is that Best Buy charges $40 to set up the phone which in my opiono is not very senior friendly. Maybe Best Buy could offer a discounted senior fee?

    Great phone for my daughter. Low priced, and still works very well for the age of the phone. Easy parental controls to put in place. Highly recommended for younger kids as a phone.

    Great phone, renewed/restored to near perfection condition. Priced reasonably. Only reason i gave 4/5 was because it didn't come with any documentation or charging block.

    I hesitated to buy refurbished but didn't want to spend $$$ on new phone. This one is working better than my old phone, holds the charge longer and doesn't seem to have any problems at all, or at least none have showed up.

    Bought as a gift to upgrade my mom to a more current gen of phone. She had a 8-10 year old phone that was finally on it's last legs. This has been a much needed upgrade, it's not the flashiest but it's enough for what she needs and she is very happy.
