Common Questions
Refurbished device FAQs.
Everything you need to know before you buy.
Do refurbished devices come with a warranty?
Yes. Every refurbished device sold at Instant Phone Repair is covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty on parts and workmanship. If something we repaired or a component we installed fails, bring it back in and we will make it right.
Will a refurbished phone work on my carrier?
All devices we sell are carrier unlocked and compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and most major and regional carriers. If you have a specific carrier, just ask us when you come in and we will confirm compatibility.
What condition are the devices in?
We grade all devices before sale. Most are in good to excellent cosmetic condition. We will always tell you honestly about any visible wear before you buy. Functionality is always fully tested regardless of cosmetic grade.
Can I trade in my old device toward a refurbished purchase?
Yes. We offer buy-back on phones and tablets and the value can be applied as store credit toward any refurbished device purchase. This is often the best value option — store credit is worth more than cash payout.
Do you have a specific device in stock right now?
Our inventory changes frequently. The best way to check is to call us at (517) 518-4775 or stop in. If we don't have what you're looking for, we can keep an eye out for a specific model.
What if I have a problem with a refurbished device after I buy it?
Just bring it back in. Our Limited Lifetime Warranty means we stand behind every device we sell. If there is an issue covered under warranty, we will fix it at no charge.
