Verizon Certified Pre-Owned review

Verizon Certified Pre-Owned suits buyers who already pay Verizon for service. Verizon says each device is tested and inspected so the battery charges, Wi-Fi and other connections work, every pixel works, all ports function, speakers and microphones work and software is up to date. Every phone then gets a cosmetic grade of Good, Very good or Great. The program lists a 90-day limited warranty and lets you spread payments over 36 months at 0% APR. On the check date the store showed 49 pre-owned phones, from an iPhone SE (3rd Gen) at $102.99 to a Galaxy S26 at $633.99. The 90-day warranty is much shorter than the one-year coverage from Back Market, Reebelo, Gazelle, Apple and Samsung, and the offer is designed around Verizon plans. We compared documented policies and published prices only.
