Re: How to tell if your replacement is refurbished
You cannot actually tell by physically looking at the phone...unless it has scratch marks and dings. Sprint does not put stickers saying refurbished on the units...instead they hard program the information into the phone. If I was to press ##778# in my phone dialer on my TP2 a list will come up, towards the bottom it will say build date, refurbished date, activation date and so on. By luck my refurbished phone I have now only had 1min 14sec of calls ever done on it...data was under 500k too. The physical look of the phone was perfect...so Im guessing even though it said it was refurbed, it was a phone that a person brought back to Sprint within the 30 days, and by law they have to put it in refurb status...I lucked out...but as of sometime today....I will be getting a brand new TP2 at the Sprint store...not a refurbished....atleast thats what the lady told me...she said I got you a brand new phone, not a refurbished....so crossing fingers....btw....if anyone is looking for a TP2....I will be selling mine the first week of August..brand new barly used....with new battery and all...msg me for price if interested.
