    We were looking for an inexpensive way to re-do aging Android phones, and this little iPhone SE is a gem. We’re able to find a refurbished one, yay. Easy to learn to use. The small size is easy to slip into a pocket, yet we have full internet access. Felt secure about buying through Bestbuy because they would stand behind their word.

    This is for my preteen! Got it for her when she began middle school! It is in excellent condition as if it’s brand new. She loves her new phone and it is well priced and packaged. It looks brand new!

    This is my first iPhone ever, and I purchased it for my DJI Mavic Pro Platinum. The OS is fast but the screen is very small. That is my only complaint; however, like I said, it fits perfect on the RC of the Mavic and the DJI app works excellent.

    The phone came and it had no scuffles or ruffed up places, clean no scratches, generally well taken care of. The battery life is a little meh, but again, its a used phone. I really enjoyed their service. When I opened the package, they sent me a three month phone plan that I didn't pay for and after contacting them, I just got to keep it. So that was pretty lit XD Anyway, I loved my experience

    My iPhone 4s was losing its marbles, and I wanted an upgrade that wasn't expensive. I bought this SE to use on the Ting network. So far the phone is excellent (seems like new) and Ting seems pretty good, too. Not crazy about the color but apparently they made a crap-ton of them in rose gold so that's what's out there; I use a case anyway!

    This phone feels like a legitimate iPhone but it does not operate as such. It worked great for 1 day besides some overheating and battery drain issues but now it just ghost types constantly unless I lock screen it and let it sit for a few minutes. I can only use the phone for a few minutes at a time until it starts getting really hot and glitching out on me again. Battery life has literally dropped 25% in the matter of 15 minutes when I went to the store today. Pretty upsetting that this phone is advertised as being in "excellent condition." I'll be taking it into my local Best Buy to get a new one.

    Small and powerful! I believe it is an iphone 6 in the body of an iphone 5. Fast processor and works very well. Since it is unlocked I can use it in many network carriers. I purchased it to use a secondary phone to use with foreign providers, which worked flawlessly!

    This phone kept dropping calls and wouldn’t respond to swiping on screen. Had to return it as techs at store tried three times to get it to work as well by resetting things. Staff was great to try and help.

    Great phone and it works. It would be nice if the seller thoroughly cleaned all the nooks and crannies. The speaker portion was plugged with dirt and dust.

    Shows minor wear, but still excellent condition. Power cube and cable not Apple, but of high quality, so I'm very pleased with the purchase.
