    Over the years I have needed about a half dozen refurbished phones. I have tried other stores, but I keep coming back to you. I replaced my wife's i phone 8 and now my 2016 SE. I have never had a bad product from you and I doubt I ever will THANKS!!

    The phone came a day earlier than expected which is always great. I got a iPhone SE 1st generation, the condition was way better than I expected. The only thing I don't like is the size of the phone but other than that the overall service & product was great. It's my 1st iPhone so I'll probably get familiar with this 1 an grab another 1 from Back Market!

    The iPhone SE rated as excellent has issues immediately. Once fully charged the phone shut down at least 4x in the first 2 hours after getting a full battery charge. The power button would not turn the phone on and the only was to turn it back on was to hit the power button and home button simultaneously. After one of its restarts the loading screen with the apply logo froze with what appeared to be a broken streaky image.

    So I ordered a 2016 iPhone SE First Generation Silver and I had received an iPhone SE First Generation Rose Gold. And on the paper that the phone came with says SE First Generation - AT&T Locked. I am pleased with my order and have gotten the phone all set up if y’all want me to send me the iPhone SE First Generation silver send me an email and based on the email and what I decide I will send the current SE I have back.

    I replaced my broken iphone SE (2016) 32 mb with this iphone SE (2016) 128 mb. Even though it's condition was listed as "fair", the phone looked pretty perfect to me! It was easy to restore my backup on it, too. I'm thrilled to have the extra storage space for a bunch more photos! The absolutely AMAZING part? The BATTERY HEALTH is 97 percent, more than DOUBLE what my broken phone has when it ended it's life. Super speedy shipping, well packed! Great communication and shipping notifications. Will definitely recommend to others in need of a phone. Thanks for a great experience! -Jo

    It's been an adjustment going from android to apple, love the phone. Love that even though condition says good, while it's not pristine it's closer to excellent. Thank you and when I'm ready for a upgrade, Back Market will be my first stop.

    Thus iPhone SE (1st generation, 2016) is an older model, but the smallest iPhone you can get, which is what I wanted, and that’s what I was replacing. This iPhone SE from Backmarket was in great shape and works perfectly. It’s the third iPhone I’ve purchased from Backmarket, and I’ve been satisfied every time.

    The device was a little dirty, just some smudges from residual glue, but nothing too serious. Other than awesome experience. Great price. The device was in condition just as advertised. This is my second time buying from Backmarket and will keep buying from Backmarket.

    Everything was great, as usual. Almost decided to return item because I didn't expect it to be so small but...decided to keep it and give it a try. Thanks BackMarket for your great service, products and general awesomeness. L from H-town

    2 year and 2 kids later still going strong. One of the best purchases I’ve made ever (I’m not even kidding).The seller must’ve replaced the battery because the battery is in better condition than my “new” iPhone 13 & 11. Extremely happy with my purchase worth every penny!

Should I buy an unlocked iPhone SE?


When you buy an unlocked iPhone SE, 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 SE at a low price.


Which networks can I use an unlocked iPhone SE?


Your unlocked iPhone SE 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 SE warranty and return policy


All locked or unlocked iPhone SE 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 SE 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 SE


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