Is there any way I can tell if the new phone I receive, ordered online, is a new phone or refurbished?
The packaging, by law, must clearly state if it is refurb unit.
Hi Jzepmom!
Congrats on your new phone! I would like to help.
Did you order your new phone on our website, www.verizonwireless.com? If so, did you select one of our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) devices? Our website would state if the device is refurbished/Certified Pre-Owned. Otherwise, if ordered on our website, and did not show as Certified Pre-Owned then the device would definitely be new.
I hope we've answered your question, and have addressed your concern.
Thanks,
