Whats Included? ONLY what is in the photo below is included with this auction. I am one of those rare sellers that thinks you should see a photo of what you are buying. Batteries are included unless otherwise stated. For phones that require SIM cards, the SIM card will NOT be included unless stated. If the phone is unlocked it will state it in the title. The model number and Service provider are already listed in the title. PHOTO is of the actual item.

RETURN POLICY
If you receive a Phone in non-working condition or if it quits working within 14 days at no fault of your own, I will exchange or give a store credit at my discretion. ABSOLUTELY NO CASH REFUNDS!!! (Shipping & Handling is non-refundable). It is the buyers responsibility to assure that their Provider can and will activate the phone. I do not exchange or give store credits because of blemished/scratched phones, you are buying used and there is a photo, ask questions before you buy if you are not sure about the quality of the phone.
.
NO REFUNDS IN CASES OF BUYER ERROR.
(Wrong phone or OOPS, I don’t need it anymore!)
Be sure you know what you want!
NO EXCEPTIONS
QUESTIONS
FIRST READ EVERYTHING then feel free to ask any questions before you bid if you are unsure about the quality (look at picture first), what is included (Everything in picture is included) or any other question you might have. I do not refund because you bought the wrong phone and I do not refund if it is more scuffed than you wanted. I sell used phones. Be sure you want what you are bidding on. I try to check all phones to make sure they are clear to re-activate (TDMA & CDMA Phones), but sometimes the customer service reps do not know what they are doing. So please check with your provider when buying a TDMA or CDMA Cell Phone.
Unlocked Phone: A unlocked phone is a GSM Cell Phone that has had the SIM card restriction removed so that the phone will work with any provider that uses that particular GSM frequency. There are 4 different frequencies that are used on the GSM Network and they are GSM850 / GSM900 / GSM1800 / GSM1900.
