    was looking to purchase iphone for virgin mobile. Out of stock on virgin mobile website and I questioned buying a used one on e-bay. This phone was comparatively priced at the time. Phone was in brand new condition and had no problem with the activation thru virgin mobile. Also likes how it comes with a warranty. Two weeks after I noticed it was on sale and the store credited my account the $20.00 savings. Great purchase.

    I really like my phone. It is refurbished, but works like new. It would have gotten 5 stars but I had to return my first purchase sine the headphone jack was not working with the mic headphones.

    I like the size and style of the iPhone 5s. Only bad thing is the battery doesn't last as long as I'd like.

    I was a little apprehensive reading the mixed reviews here. But, I was pleasantly surprised with the pre-owned phone. It looks good and did not have trouble setting up with Virgin Mobile. Love it!

    I've always been a little unsure about refurbished electronics. The phone I got had a problem with power. It wouldn't turn on. Best Buy was perfectly nice when I took it back, but still, why was it available to buy in the first place? The second phone has been fine. It's good if you want a high end phone and not pay a full high end price.

    This phone would not work on the Virgin network. Best Buy support was absolutely NO help. The only option they offered was to return the phone. I spoke with Virgin and they said it was nothing they could solve. Bottom line--these phones DO NOT WORK with Virgin network and should not be marketed as such.

    The phone arrived quickly and I was able to activate it with a Virgin Mobile account with no problems at all. Great way to get an iPhone at a good price; seemed more reputable than some vendors online.

    I bought a refurbish iphone 5s for virgin mobile because virgin mobile was out of stock. The phone was bought online and was delivered quickly, but it came with a broken home button. Returned it for a refund and 3 days later virgin mobile had a new one in stock at a better price.

    If you are using Virgin Mobile for your cell carrier, then it's hard to pass up this deal. A recent iPhone with a one year warranty? Fantastic deal. Phone is exactly as described.

    He opted to get this phone instead of the 6 because his research showed the 6 had too many glitches. The phone works great!
