Verizon Wireless is selling the iphone 4 and iphone 4s on a prepaid plan. The iphones are are being sold as referbished. This is a misrepresentation. The phones are recycled. We purchased sevearal iphone 4s models. One of them had severe battery issues and would not hold a charge. Less than 30 days after the purchase we took the phone into the Apple store to warrenty the battery. The averge person would understand referbished to mean that the phone had new battery installed.
The Apple Rep told us the phone had not been referbished and that it had sold 2 years prior and was out of warrenty by 1 year. I told the rep that it had been sold to us by a Verizon Coporate store and was told it had a full warrenty on it. He stated that was not the truth. Therefore that would make that statment a material misrepsentaion of fact and void the sale. We returned to the Verizon store who had sold us the iphone and the rep treat us like we were idoits and said ""he found nothing wrong with the phone""
We told the Verizon rep that apple ran diagnostics on the phone and had found the battery to be bad. The Verizon rep stated he could not go by the Apple Reps diagnostics. So what this comes down to is the phones Verizon is holding out as referbished are really recycled.
Beware. For 199.00 buying a phone that does not charge and then having to pay 79.00 for new battery you could spend a 100.00 more and get a good referbished phone from apple. In fact referbished iphones are even less. Once again another CELL PHONE SCAM!
