Questions About Pre-Owned Cell Phones

Cricket Certified Pre-Owned phones are previously owned phones that have been thoroughly tested to ensure they function properly. Each phone has the latest operating system software installed, has been cleared of personal and/or sensitive information from the previous owner, repackaged, and passed a cosmetic assessment.

Cricket Certified Pre-Owned phones typically have been used by a former owner for a few months or longer. The phones may have noticeable cosmetic blemishes including minor scratches and casing dents, and may contain repaired or replaced parts. In contrast, brand new phones have never been used and come in the original packaging with all the original parts.
