AT&T 24 hour sale - $49 refurb iPhone 3GS 16GB

iphone 3g 16kb

i bought over the summer for $99 but by october it burnt out. could not receive data or even make calls. was disappointed went back to verizon. by the way verizon's now offering itunes in there download manager. looks like iphone coming over there soon. before christmas.
 
Highly doubt that. Seeing all the commercial wars between AT&T , Verizon and Apple makes me think it won't happen any time soon.
But let's not get into that again, this thread has nothing to do with Verizon.

I just happened to stumble upon this deal while paying my bill Friday afternoon. I am still on the 2g plan so I thought why not. I ordered Friday around 4pm and it will be here Monday before 3pm :D Not a bad deal imo.

Not sure, as I have never ordered anything else from ATT online. I might have just been for the Black Friday deal, or it might not have. You should have gotten a confirmation email with a link to check the status of your shipment.

If not, you can also go to the ATT website and do a search for recent shipments using your phone number..

My wife and I both have refurbs and I highly recommend them. They have the same Apple Care warranty and look and work great. 49 dollars for a 16g 3GS is a stupendous deal. DO IT!!!!!!!

we went to the at&t store on friday and they told us they were out of iphones and urged us not to get a refurbished phone because they have no warranty.

I googled it and that's false, they have at least a 90 day warranty.

kind of worried that at&t employees are already lying to us when we weren't even customers yet, hate to see what will happen if we ever come in needing help....
 
They probably wanted you to buy from them instead so they can get the commision.
AT&T reps are well known for giving out false information.

AWESOME. I guess my phone is on backorder. Which was really annoying to see after I had been tracking on FedEx. They shipped out the second line phone, which isn't mine, and isn't an iPhone. So now I have to wait for God-only-knows how long until my phone comes.

I'm pissed

Sorry to hear that. Mine arrived at noon today.

Hope you get it soon!
 
Mine has still been on order since Black Friday.

I got an email from AT&T today saying there is an update. I checked it and now its showing that my original order is canceled and now black refurbed iphones are now on order (back ordered too). I DID NOT CHANGE THE ORDER! :mad: Time to call AT&T

Fail.jpg
 
So I just got off the phone with AT&T and they confirmed that everything is the same even though the order shows completely different descriptions. They will be leaving on Wednesday the 2nd. Hope I get what I ordered. :rolleyes:
 
The pair of 16's were delivered 4 minutes before the 5PM "deadline" by FedEx. Both phones looked like new; sync'd up and installed the OS and carrier update; no screen or control issues; and they now that they have screen protectors and cases on, I'll be doing some battery testing today. $49 each, what else can you say. :cool:
 
I received a 16GB today. Some bloggers said "The refurbished iPhone comes with the same warranty as a brand new iPhone so you should definitely consider getting it." but I couldn't find the warranty term on the AT&T website. I believed it without verification. Yes, it's my mistake. Instead there is a fine print stating the warranty is not a year but just 90+ days depending on the phone:)confused:)

Did anybody check the warranty? Here is the link to check it:

Am I screwed? Warranty of mine expires on Sep 30, 2010.
 
My bad, I also thought it was the same warranty as any other iphone.
You can always purchase Applecare for the iphone that would extend it to an additional 1 year coverage I believe.
But chances are if everything works fine for over 3 months you wont have a prob. I owned a 2G , 2 3G's and now a 3GS model and never had the need to have them exchanged or repaired.
I bought an Applecare warranty on my 2G and my ipod Nano and that was a waste of money cause I never needed to use it.

Ordered mine through Premier and received it today. Was a white 16gb one. I think mine came with 3g headphones though. There is a mic and button but no volume control. For now I'll still be using my SE W810i until my iFrogz Luxe case comes in the mail. Overstock shipped it today.

I ordered a 16GB white one and received it yesterday. It also came with the 3G headphones. I thought it was a mistake, and I guess I'm not the only one.
 
Anything we can do about it? My phone seems fine and its up and running, though I haven't checked too much because I've been studying most of hte day so far. I probably won't even use the headphones so it's not a big deal, but it would be nice ot have the right headphones.

I ordered mine through Premier and it arrived today also. I just called in and set it up. Now I'm syncing my old T-Mobile iPhone so I can upgrade. :eek:

I think I received the old headphones too then. I would guess that if you went to an Apple Store with your phone and headphones (and bring the box, receipt, etc, just in case), they would probably hand you new headphones. That's always been their way in the past. I'm not sure if a Genius Appt would be necessary or not, but it might help.
