Refurbished unlocked iPhone 12

Should I buy an unlocked iPhone 12?

When you buy an unlocked iPhone 12, 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 12 at a low price.

What to expect when buying a refurbished unlocked iPhone 12

When you buy an unlocked iPhone 12 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 12 might look slightly depending on the network, but you can learn more about the activation process on our help page.
