Has anyone done this? Looking at using Envirofone, they have mixed reviews but they do mean that I can afford to get the phone I want lol. Any experiences, good or bad?

Yes. It was fine

I bought my last phone from the expansys open box section, paid a little over £100 for an lg g2 which is the best phone I’ve ever used 🙂

Good to know! I was looking at a Samsung S7 for £370 which seems like a good deal. I suppose the thimng that I would worry about is how much life is left in the battery, a that always sems to be the thing that goes first on a smart phone..

Won’t it explode long before that becomes an issue?

S7?
Hope you are not expecting to travel with it, or stay in a hotel.

I bought a like new s7 for 320 on ebay

Why? What have I missed? 🙂

My O2 refresh phone (subsequently unlocked and tarrif cancelled) was like new, just not in original packaging. They had so many of them it’s hard to see how they could have been used.

Samsung 7 series devices have had QC issues, exploding batteries, burned genitalia etc.

So i’d beware of buying one that wasn’t a certified Samsung refurb.

Burning issue in news

Ah yes, I was aware of that- I thought that it only applied to their phablets though?

Looks like it’s the S7 too lol
