Re: i phone 3g 16gb

Apple do them, as do o2 but only over the phone, and i've got a feeling cpw do them too but not entirely sure on that one. Apple also give them out when your iphone bites the dust and you have to go to the store to get them replaced, them new phones you thought you were getting as replacements were actually refurbed models! But refurbs in some ways are better than the originals because they have been extensively tested, and are fitted with new front and back shells so you can hardly tell there refurbs without looking at the serial numbers.

I've just phoned o2 and have been told they do not sell refurbs. I spoke to a lady in retentions.

They most definitely do! Ask to be put forward to someone competent or ask at the apple store. I do not know what there policy is though after the release of the iphone 3gs.
