As the title states -
How are Verizon Certified Pre-Owned phones sanitized?
Certified Pre-Owned devices go through a 100+ point quality check. A number of the steps in this process is to ensure that the device is cleaned and free of residue. This includes the keypad and the earpiece. In addition, the ports are cleaned, including the memory card port, headset port, USB port, and accessory ports.
I hope this information is helpful. Have a great day!

Wow. I've never even thought about this! I hope someone has an answer for you. This is a great question.
Well cleaned and sanitize are really two very different processes. Wonder if the non answer IS the answer

I'm sure it is. This is actually highly disturbing. I've never thought about this. The hepatitis virus can stay active on a surface for 7 days... If these phones are not thoroughly disinfected (I would imagine it's impossible to sanitize a cell phone) Verizon could be in some serious legal heat.

Coming from 25 years in a medical lab, I nearly posted the hepatitis comment but thought against it.
We need to keep in mind, I doubt the phones get turned and back out in 7 days. Also, There are so many things we touch every day that we all would have a better chance of contracting Hepatitis. Basically everything we touch going through our daily business. Doorknobs, napkin dispenser at restaurant, grocery cart, mailbox, pens, phones at work, the chair we sit in, heck the outer box the refurbed phone is shipped in has a better, albiet slim chance of having active hepatitis on it before the phone inside would. Imagine how many have touched that box, just to get it to ya.
If you don't place your fingers in your mouth or have open wounds uncovered, we are all for the most part safe.
