I got this phone for my youngest daughter and as a test to see how ordering a refurbished phone would go...to my surprise this iPhone 8 really was in excellent condition. It looks brand new and The battery is lasting her all day too. The day I received this phone, I came back to order a different phone for myself, and it arrives today. I am very excited and I would absolutely recommend buying from back market, I plan to buy an iPad soon and will be shopping from here when I do. I love the fast shipping too.

The phone was in very good condition, and it works just fine. I am not certain if the battery new when the phone was refurbished, because it doesn't seem to retain a full charge for an extended period of time...I think it is best to charge it virtually every day. I am, however, quite happy with the purchase. D.Lee

I ordered an iPhone 8 in good condition. Delivery was good and it’s working just fine. I was under the impression that there would only be slight imperfections on the phone, but not the screen. However, it does have a scratch on the screen itself.

This gold iPhone 8 is clean. They did a good job making it nice again. There are no cosmetic issues whatsoever, the mesh covering the ear speaker is new and clean, the mesh covering the voice microphone area is also new and clean, the small screws are also new and clean. The only complaint is that the battery capacity is at 70%, and I will have to replace the battery. Even doing that, the phone is still a good deal, and I will have what I want, so I am happy. Thank you for this clean, pretty, functional “new” gold phone.

Should I buy an unlocked iPhone 8?


When you buy an unlocked iPhone 8, 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, Back Market has plenty of options to help you find an iPhone 8 at a low price.


Which networks can I use an unlocked iPhone 8?


Your unlocked iPhone 8 from Back Market 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 8 warranty and return policy


All locked or unlocked iPhone 8 purchases on Back Market 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 8 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 8


When you buy an unlocked iPhone 8 from Back Market, 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 8 might look slightly depending on the network, but you can learn more about the activation process on our help page.
