T-Mobile refurbished phone benefits

Want to shave those monthly device payments off your budget? There is another way. Buying used is a great way to upgrade your phone without upgrading your costs:

• Save half or more off your device cost.
• Enjoy the flexibility to take your new-to-you unlocked phone to any network.
• Used devices are big business - which means there are plenty of trustworthy seller sites.
• There's a growing market of third-party insurers that will sell you coverage even on used phones.
• You won't have to trade in which means you can sell your phone when you're ready for a different one.

Considerations when comparing T-Mobile phone deals

1. Refurbished vs. used: Refurbished means that the device has been repaired and restored. Used means you're getting the phone as-is.
2. Returns: Most phone seller sites offer a return policy if you change your mind. The standard is 30 days, although some sites - like Swappa - only offer returns if the item wasn't as advertised.
3. Warranties: Warranty policies vary widely. Gazelle offers a 12-month warranty on many devices, while Decluttr provides a 30-day guarantee.
4. Insurance: If you're nervous about buying a used cell phone you can typically purchase third-party cell phone insurance that covers the standard issues.
5. Shipping: Most online phone sellers offer free shipping and handling.
6. Certified devices: You can find used cell phones that have undergone a rigorous inspection. For example, Gazelle puts devices through a 30-point certification process.
7. Phone payments: Monthly installments are available through some sites, however, high-interest rates make this a poor choice in most cases.

Sell your old T-Mobile phone for cash

When you buy a new cell phone, don't forget to sell your old device. There are multiple benefits to doing so:

• You'll get more money in cash than you will by trading your phone in for credit with your carrier.
• It's environmentally friendly.
• Even selling for parts puts more cash in your pocket than throwing it away or in a drawer.

Switch to a cheaper T-Mobile plan

You've saved 50% or more off your device. Now you can save over half off your mobile service as well.

MVNOs - or Mobile Virtual Network Operators - are smaller wireless carriers that use the same cell networks as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. MVNOs rent the use of the big four networks and resell it at cheaper rates.

The low-cost carriers can afford to offer cheap cell phone plans because they don't have the high overhead, marketing, and store location expenses. Most operate only online, in fact, which means you'll never have to set foot in a store.
