To give you the best samples, we’ve highlighted our top refurbished VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) phones that are guaranteed smart choices.

What Does ‘Refurbish’ Mean in Terms of Phones?

When we talk about refurbished phones, we’re referring to devices that have been previously owned or used but have since undergone a restoration process to make them like brand new phones.

Here at PCLiquidations, the process of refurbishing pre-owned business phones is carried out by professionals and involves several steps:

1. Receiving and Inspection: The phone is thoroughly inspected for any physical or functional issues. This includes checking the screen, buttons, battery, and other components for signs of damage or wear.

2. Testing and Grading: The phone is rigorously tested to ensure it meets our stringent quality standards. This includes testing the battery life, software performance, and more.

3. Repair and Customization: Any identified issues are addressed and the phone is customized to your needs, such as adding handset detanglers. We also reset phones to factory settings, replace faulty batteries, fix broken screens, and check for hardware or software problems.

4. Final Testing and QA: Every order undergoes a rigorous quality assurance process; our goal is to achieve outstanding customer satisfaction by delivering consistently high-quality equipment for the tech market.

5. Cleaning: The phone is cleaned inside and out and undergoes a final visual inspection. This not only makes it look like new but also helps to ensure it functions optimally.

When you buy a restored phone from PCLiquidations.com, you can be confident that the device has gone through this comprehensive refurbishment process.

It’s also worth noting that not all refurbished phones are pre-owned or used. Some may be devices that were returned by customers due to a change of mind or were store display models. These phones are also put through the refurbishment process to ensure they’re in top condition.

In essence, when you buy a refurbished business phone, you’re getting a device that functions just like a brand-new one but at a fraction of the cost. It’s a smart, cost-effective choice for anyone looking to upgrade their phone without breaking the bank.

Are Refurbished Phones as Good as Brand New Ones?

When considering the purchase of a pre-owned phone, one of the most common concerns is whether these devices can match the performance and reliability of brand-new ones.

The answer is a resounding yes, especially when you purchase from a reputable source like PCLiquidations.com.

Restored pre-owned phones undergo a rigorous testing and certification process to ensure they meet the same functional standards as new devices. This includes checks for:

• Screen condition
• Button functionality
• Battery life
• Software performance

In fact, expertly restored phones can sometimes even outperform new ones. This is because any defects that may have slipped through the manufacturer’s quality control are likely to be caught and corrected during the refurbishment process.

By choosing a refurbished phone from PCLiquidations.com, you’re not only getting a device that’s been thoroughly tested and certified but also making a smart, cost-effective choice.

Benefits of Buying Refurbished VoIP and Digital Phones

Refurbished VoIP and digital phones provide excellent value by offering high functionality at reduced prices. These pre-owned devices have been professionally restored to ensure they operate almost like new units.

That’s one reason why the market for refurbished devices is one of the fastest-growing in tech. In particular, you get unbeatable quality and prices when you buy refurbished VoIP phones from PCLiquidations, such as:

• Affordability: Restored business phones are much cheaper than new ones, offering high-end features at lower prices.
• Quality Assurance: Each phone undergoes rigorous testing to ensure top condition, guaranteeing they are in excellent working condition.
• Variety: PCLiquidations.com features a diverse selection of refurbished business phones from various brands, allowing for personalized choices.
• Eco-Friendliness: Buying a restored phone helps reduce electronic waste, supporting environmental sustainability.
• Support Services: PCLiquidations offers robust customer service and a warranty for refurbished phones, ensuring customer satisfaction and security.

The only disadvantage is that your refurbished phone may not come with standard accessories, such as Ethernet cables, quick start guides, and earpieces.

But then, accessories such as headsets, expansion modules, and specialized peripherals are usually sold separately even with new phones

How Much Can I Save by Buying a Refurbished Phone?

When purchasing a refurbished phone, you can expect to save significantly compared to buying a new one.

For instance, at PCLiquidations.com, refurbished VOIP sets can be up to 80% off the price of new units. This substantial discount allows for high-end phones to be available at a fraction of their original cost, making it a financially savvy option for both personal and business use​.

Instead of paying full price for the latest model, you can get a slightly older, pre-owned model that still offers great performance at a fraction of the cost.

We also offer a range of financing options to make buying a refurbished phone even more affordable. This means you can spread the cost of your phone over several months, making it easier to manage your budget, especially for bulk purchases.

Refurbished Phones Are Better for the Environment

When it comes to environmental impact, choosing a restored phone over a new one can make a significant difference.

For one, it reduces electronic waste. Every year, millions of phones are discarded, contributing to a growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste).

E-waste not only takes up landfill space but also contains hazardous materials that can harm human health. By choosing a refurbished phone, you’re extending the life of a device that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

Secondly, buying pre-owned phones lowers your carbon footprint. Manufacturing a new phone requires a significant amount of energy and resources, contributing to carbon emissions.

Restored phones, on the other hand, require much less energy to restore, reducing their carbon footprint.

Third, pre-owned phones help with the conservation of natural resources. Every new phone produced means more raw materials extracted from the earth, including precious metals like gold and silver.

Feng Wang, the Programme Officer for Life Cycle Thinking and Sustainable Consumption and Production at the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), stated:

“Beyond carbon footprint, the biggest environmental concern where e-waste is concerned is the impact at the end of a product’s life. Recycling practices, especially in developing countries, mean that pollution from hazardous materials and metals at dumping sites has grave consequences for the local environment and informal workers.”

According to the Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 published by the United Nations, a record of 62 billion kg of e-waste was generated globally (equivalent to an average of 7.8 kg per capita per year) in 2022.

Only 22.3 percent of this e-waste mass was documented as formally recycled in an environmentally sound manner.

The table below shows the e-waste generated and recycled per capita in various regions in 2022:
