    Pre-owned iPhones on Giffgaff any good? - Update

    Hi

    Need to buy a new (used) iPhone for one of the kids after it got stolen on holiday. Looking on Giffgaff as their prices seem reasonable - has anyone bought a used phone from Giffgaff? I'm looking at something in the 'Good' category as opposed to the better ones.

    Any experiences would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Thanks all. Will take a look at some of the options listed. The prices on Giffgaff look pretty good, just wondered if there was anyone here that had actually bought a device from them?

    Cheers

    Update

    Quick update - I bought a pre-owned 6 from Giffgaff in the end as they had the best prices. Delivery was very quick - next day. Condition was graded as 'Good' and to be honest it is much better than I expected.

    Came in a plain box with a charging cable. All seems to work well.

    Thought it might help others if they're looking for a replacement.

    Do they come 'locked' to GG? As an alternative official Apple Store does factory refurbished ones IIRC which, obviously, come unlocked.

    No, they come unlocked so can be used on any network.
