Going great, in great condition and functioning really good. Arrived earlier than first stated. I like how you all explained everything you check before selling them. I had a bad experience with another company that sells refurbished products. Turned out couldn’t get my phone service on it because it was locked by a phone service and was reported lost or stolen. You all stated that the phones you all sell, you check and make sure the phone services will work on yours before you sell them . I give you all an A+ on my iPhone 12! Thank you for the great and honest service!

Very good at first I was iffy but gave RefurbLane a try. I am glad I did, for an affordable price I got my daughter’s phone. I had some issues installing it but all in all it was the best thing I could have done. You also get help if any issues. I haven’t had any, the phone looks brand new. Thank you!

Should I buy an unlocked iPhone 12?

When you buy an unlocked iPhone 12, you'll have multiple options for choosing a carrier network. It is the safest option if you're not already locked into a long term contract with a network like Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T. With an unlocked phone, you also have the option to easily switch between different network providers if you need to.

However, if you're happy with your current network provider and you don't plan on switching any time soon, you might save a little more money by shopping for an iPhone locked to a carrier. Locked phones tend to cost less than unlocked phones on average.

Whichever you option you pick, RefurbLane has plenty of options to help you find an iPhone 12 at a low price.

Locked vs Unlocked iPhone

Which networks can I use an unlocked iPhone 12?

Your unlocked iPhone 12 from RefurbLane will work with all 3 major carriers in the US: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Since it is compatible with all 3 networks, you can also activate it under each of their Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) including Mint, Straight Talk, US Mobile, Cricket, Boost Mobile, Google Fi, Metro and others.

Unlocked iPhone 12 warranty and return policy

All locked or unlocked iPhone 12 purchases on RefurbLane come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best iPhone 12 for your needs at the lowest price. In the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

What to expect when buying a refurbished unlocked iPhone 12

When you buy an unlocked iPhone 12 from RefurbLane, you'll be receiving a phone that has not been activated with any network yet. It's still a fully functional device, but you will not be able to make any calls, text or access the internet without Wi-Fi until it has been properly activated with a carrier of your choice.

Activating your iPhone 12 might look slightly depending on the network, but you can learn more about the activation process on our help page.

iPhone Trade In

If you already have an iPhone that you're looking to replace, consider trading it into RefurbLane to give you a little extra budget for your next smartphone upgrade. We make the process simple for you and we'll give you a free online quote when you answer a few easy questions about your current iPhone.
