FAQ about certified refurbished phones

Consult applicable conditions.

Our certification process includes a series of tests that each device must pass 100% before it can be sold as a certified refurbished phone by Videotron. In this way, we ensure that the performance is equivalent to that of a new phone.

Battery life may vary depending on prior usage. When certifying the device, we ensure that the battery is operating at at least 80% of its initial capacity. If not, we will replace it with a new battery. Certified refurbished phones have not been repaired, remanufactured, or refurbished by the original manufacturers.

 

More than 30 certification points are evaluated on the phone’s main components:

  • Battery at least 80% of initial capacity, charging up and displaying correctly 
  • All connections work, e.g. Wi-Fi, network, Bluetooth, and others
  • All buttons, keyboards, and vibration modes work
  • Cameras, speakers, and microphones work
  • All ports and card slots are fully functional
  • Every pixel on the display works, images and colours are clear, sharp, and bright
     

 

 

Each certified refurbished phone comes with a certified USB cable.

 

Your phone will be carefully slipped into a protective pouch before being packed in one of our eco-friendly, fully recyclable cardboard boxes.
