Help Refurbished phones the same internal quality?

[Boostin]

I know they often come with exterior blemishes and minor scratches but are the internals rebuilt? basically if you drop a refurbished phone is it more likely to be damaged? Do they come with a used battery???

The one time I did an exchange the refurb did not come with a battery or battery door (htc fuze). But the exterior was flawless. If it's a refurb they fixed something about it whether it be a cracked screen or some internal component.

So in essence it is a used phone with used components inside that wear out overtime? Basically you are buying an aged phone that may be as old as the exchange your making.

Yes it is more likely a phone someone swapped out that had a problem making it a used phone and yes it could be just as old as the phone you have that you want to do the warranty exchange on or it could even be older depending on if you got that phone on launch day or waited a few months to get it.

Sometime I think my phone is messed up so I am considering taking it in for a manufacture 1 yr warranty exchange. It often does not recognize the Sim card for awhile on start up, it takes forever to start up, it doesnt acknowledge new incoming texts after I turn it until I send a text message to myself 30min later and then they come flooding in all at once.. Wtf ??? is this a phone problem or a network problem?
