Frequently asked questions
Fully Unlocked means that the iPhone 12 is not tied to any specific carrier like AT&T or Verizon. It can be used with any carrier that supports iPhones. Just insert the SIM card from your current plan into the iPhone 12 and you're good to go.
A 'Renewed' product is one that's been opened or used before, but has been returned to Amazon. Amazon or a trusted market partner have tested and inspected the device, and it has been cleaned and repackaged with all relevant accessories. It should work and look like new.
Renewed products sold on Amazon come with the Amazon Renewed Guarantee. This gives you the right to a replacement or refund within 90 days of purchase if the product does not work as expected.
This specific iPhone 12 comes with 64GB of storage space. This can be used for apps, photos, videos, and other data. Note that the operating system and pre-installed apps will use some of this space, so the available space will be slightly less than 64GB.

For starters; the price on these phones is great. Between having the reassurance of Amazon buyer protection, and the benefit of knowing the device has been tested for performance, itās well worth it. I needed a new phone fast after my cat knocked mine into the sink ā¹ļø Rice fixed it for a while, but it was only temporary before it died altogether. I hate buying phones and avoid it whenever possible. 99% of mine belonged to someone in my family first. And i was good with that. Needless to say, my cat didnāt wait for someone in my family to upgrade. I was on my own this time. Okay.... thatās not entirely true. My grandma had an iPhone 7 sitting around so that held me over in the meantime. Going from an iPhone 11 Pro Max to an iPhone 7 wasā¦.bad. It was too dam small, in every possible way. 32 gigs of memory!! I needed an upgrade. Fast. My 11 year old was bullying me relentlessly. And thatās on me. They had my old XR (formerly my dadās) I scoured FB marketplace. Iād decided upgrade a little, so I could feel better about the switch. I didnāt want to feel backed me into a corner by my catās recklessness. I would get a slightly newer model in a fun colour. Marketplace had plenty. Sending message after message from my iPhone 7, I worried. āThis person seems too eagerā, āthis one has been posted so longā, āI want a purple, but the only purple one listed has less storage spaceā and āthe pretty green one has a small crackā, āthis guy lives 2 hours from meā and āBattery life? Errr last time I checked it was like 74%?ā¦.no, I canāt take a screenshot of it, itās turned offāā¦. ācash only pleaseā Etc. So much pressure. What happens if the thing doesnāt work? Thatās $300+ down the drain. I knew I couldnāt afford new. But I hated the idea of buying something used from a stranger on Facebook. I didnāt want to get scammed, and I also didnāt want to settle. Thatās when I remembered good olā Amazon. Maybe Iād check there. Just for funsies. Probably out of my budget, but it couldnāt hurt. Sure enough, refurbished devices selling ālike new!ā Mostly same cost or less than what Iād found so far. Surely there was a catch? I read through everything, tested by Amazon, includes all the specs, unlocked, I can pick the colour, the storage size, the condition, etc. AND I could have it delivered to me tomorrow??! With a warranty?!! I recovered from my brief stint of disappointment after learning the 12ās donāt come in yellow. Then fought hard to decide between mint and lavender. The lavender would take an extra day to arrive. Mint it was!! As promised, it arrived the next day. It was in beautiful shape. 128gās, mint green, not a single scratch, 86% battery life. All for less than I would have paid to some stranger for a 64g with some āsmall scratchesā Once my case and screen protector arrived I excitedly set it up and synced my data. Oh no. The FACE ID DIDNT WORK š After becoming used to facial recognition, having that yanked away, and dealing with a 7 for over 2 weeksā I was desperate for the convenience of Face ID. I had been using my fingerprint. Like a *caveman*. Not to mention I have Blink 182 tickets, and it specifically states facial recognition is required to access the mobile tickets. Idk if thatās true, but I needed Face ID!! I googled, I contacted apple support. Fixing it could be upwards of $300. Thatās almost what I paid for the whole phone!! I realllllly didnāt want to be stuck without a phone again. But I also wanted one fully functioning. So I reached out to Amazon support and explained. The rep was incredibly helpful (as most Amazon reps are) and after bts failed, she advised the ship was a 3rd party seller, and she send a message to them. āIf they donāt fix it by (insert date) contact us back and weāll make this rightā she encouraged. Iām ngl. I was nervous. I didnāt have high hopes, having dealt with 3p sellers on Amazon in the past. At least Amazon had my back, ig. The concert wasnāt till July. Even without facial recognition, it was loads better than the 7. I could make do in the meantime. The seller came in clutch though, and my worry was unwarranted. They responded within minutes. They were receptive, apologetic, and more than willing to help. As Iād anticipated, they offered a refund or exchange, as soon as they received the return. I explained my concern with not having a phone for several days or more; and the merchant offered to overnight a replacement as soon as the return was dropped off. I could deal with one day without a phone! I gratefully accepted. That was Saturday night, we made plans to catch up Monday for the return instructions and for them to overnight it. Monday I reached back out; and they were ready to ship, BUT they *had no more greenā¦.* š«¢ SHOCK āā¦do you have purpleā No. :( just blue, white, and black. THIS WAS A HUGE BUMMER.Itās silly I know, and the definition of *first world problems ā.. but I meanā¦. My change of heart about this whole phone thing HINGED ON THE FUN COLOUR. Without it, I was just a personā¦out $350ā¦ because my cat was thirsty while I was watching YouTube while washing dishes. I needed a cool colour. Plus, Iād already gotten the matching case! Clear with mint green borders. It wasnāt even a fun blueā¦ it was a dark, serious, navy blue. It was pretty and classy, but I wanted something fun. I even asked if he had any older models in yellow šš no luck, They told me theyād be restocking in a day or so. Still, no greens or purples came in. Ugh. Reality was setting in. I was going to have to settle. It was fine, I thought. At least it would be a fully functioning phone. No. I wasnāt ready to let go. They assured me I could take my time to decide, and I asked if we could wait another week in case one came in. If it didnāt, *then* I would choose from the options available. I messaged them Wednesday afternoon, bracing myself for the answerā¦. THEY GOT IN PURPLE! YAY. They sent a label, I dropped it off, sent a photo, and had my new phone the next morning. theyād said overnight shippingā¦ but wow! Iād dropped off the return around 3pm, and had the replacement by noon the next day. I didnāt even have my new case yet š
Despite the Barney-Esque colour scheme my mint green case created, the lavender is GORGEOUS and Iām actually sort of glad the green didnāt work out. Donāt get me wrong, the green is also gorgeous.. but in the end Iām glad I ended up with the lavender. I was overjoyed when I was prompted to set Face ID during setup. Worked brilliantly, as did everything else. Great packaging, no cosmetic flaws, amazing battery life, customer service was great, and best of allā¦ ITS PURPLE! Canāt wait to pair it with the new case. Iām so glad I went this route where I have some peace of mind as a buyer. Iām grateful to the seller for being so helpful and patient with me as insufferable as I must have seemed making such a fuss over colour preference If youāre nervous buying a phone used or refurbished too, hopefully you can take comfort in knowing- this seller is legit. You receive a good quality product, and, speaking from experience, theyāll gladly help resolve any issues you may run into.

It came unlocked and just as described. But with any used phone purchase especially one that is older than 2 years go get the battery swapped out at Apple immediately. If the phone has water damage they will be able to tell you however, they wonāt change out the battery if there is. I did NOT experience this with this retailer but I have with others. So just a heads up. I would definitely purchase with them again just because my experience was simple and expectations were met. Very happy with my purchase. (We have used the service providers AT&T (virtual sim) and then later mint mobile micro SIM card. Both worked very well no issues when switching phone service companies.)

I purchased a iPhone 12 from this store in 2022 and Apple has randomly shut down my Apple iCloud , locked me out until i prove that i Purchased the iphone from a legit retailer and that i provide a receipt with a IEMI number attached . (TCR) The Cellular resource gave me receipt but when a supervisor from Apple viewed and investigated the receipt, they denied unlocking my account . Saying the last known retailer in there system is a Best Buy in Maryland and my receipt needs to be from there . I contacted TCR again explaining that i need the Best Buy reciept and they told me thereās nothing they can do . So i basically bought a 500$ unlocked iphone , and this store that i purchased it from āTHE CELLULAR RESOURCE ā canāt help me prove that i purchased it .

Have bough 2 refurbished Premium and they work great! Battery is good, no issues with volume or camera, etc. Would definitely recommend this if you can't afford to buy full price, or just don't feel like paying full price for a new one - they are not cheap. We did make sure tho to spend a little bit more money for the Premium instead of the Excellent as my uncle bough one in "Excellent" condition and he ended up having an issue with the Face ID - phone worked well other than that. But for some more money, the "Premium" condition is the way to go in my opinion. These are good phones and should last a long time, so an extra 100 dollars or so are worth it.

This refurbished iPhone 12 has been a fantastic purchase! Arriving quickly and securely packaged, it looked and felt brand new. Seriously, I couldn't find a single scratch or blemish. Setting it up was the typical seamless Apple experience, and the fact that it's totally unlocked gave me the freedom to choose my carrier without any hassle. The 128GB storage is plenty for all my photos, videos, and apps. The vibrant blue color is just gorgeous, and the camera still takes stunningly crisp and clear photos and videos. Battery life has been impressive too, easily lasting me through a full day of moderate use. For anyone looking for an affordable way to get into the iPhone ecosystem or upgrade without breaking the bank, this refurbished iPhone 12 is an absolute winner. Highly recommend!

Got a phone for my son from this seller and within a few days we were experiencing problems with it. I contacted the seller and he was very prompt with his response and gave me the options to return it or exchange it. I wasnāt looking for any money back because my son needed the phone. He walked me through the exchange process and as soon as he received the defective one, he overnighted a new one. This one works way better and we are pleased. Awesome seller with amazing customer service!

Iām currently looking into buying a new phone and I realized I never wrote a review for this purchase. I bought this phone about 9 months ago. I was super excited about upgrading, but Iāve had issues with it ever since I first got it. The camera never stays in focus for longer than a second, the power button is āstuckā, and the volume controls will give out occasionally. It gets the job done, mostly? But overall, I donāt think this purchase was a solid investment for me.
