    Have you considered buying a used phone?

    There are some pretty good deals on ebay.

        I’m not sure what experience you’ve had but eBay does quite well on buyer protection. Same goes for Swappa. Can’t speak for either website in non-US countries though

        They are bigger than buying a brand new phome, of course. Stillabysmally low if you do it correctly, and even in that case every service now protects both the buyer and the seller

          No, I didn’t purchase any used phones online. I’ve seen some posts about used phones being locked. Even if I get a refund, I still lose money.
