Replaced broken iPhone at Apple Store, got a refurbished one in return?

[Usodarake]

My old iPhone had problems with its speakerphones so I went to my local Apple store and had it replaced. The guy at the store promptly got another iPhone out and replaced my SIM card into it and I was outta there in 15 minutes.

I started using the iPhone right after I left and I noticed a few things that made me think my replacement was not new. First was that the battery was at around 60% when I first turned it on. Second, I never set a voicemail password before but now it prompts me to enter a password when I try to access my voicemail. I dont know the password so I still cant access it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, but that doesn't mean it's refurbed. Battery capacity is all over the map on new units from 20% to 80% so that means squat. As for the VV password, it's probably something you provided AT&T at some point and forgot as I believe VV is tied to your account through your SIM card.

yah, variance in battery life out of the box and VM password not being accepted doesn't mean it's a refurb unless it truly is someone elses VM PW being asked for. I doubt that's the case, if you have your SIM chip in there there should be no reason for the phone to prompt you for a VM PW for someone elses number.

IIRC the VM password default is the last 4 of your number, unless you set up a different one.

Actually I was in the moves and thought I had to re-entry my password but it did something werid but I think it was because of me not connecting to ATT. I call and ask what the password was and after some communication and they reseting it , they told me the default is 10 digit phone number I am guessing only for the iphone.

Ps. I know it usually is 4 digit number for most things , but I believe it might be 10 for this thing.
