Virgin Recon Mobile??

Just wondered if anyone has bought a Virgin recoditioned mobile from their site? it says they are usuelly no more then 1 month old, fully reconditioned and 6 month warrenty, I thought they would be a good buy as a back up or if your hard up:) it also mentions £10 off if you already have a Virgin account, prices vary but £20 starting prices and less if you keep checking now and again.

I bought a recon Sendo M550 from Virgin about 18months ago for (I think) about £30 including £10 airtime.
The phone was perfect , as new , still working fine today.
I think that for the main part , the phones they sell as recons are returns where customers have got the phone and decided they didn`t like it , so return under the 28 day guarantee. The guarantee does apply to recon phones also , so if you get one and don`t like it , you can return it.
I have found their customer service to be pretty good also. I bought a cheap Nokia 1100 from them (via a bargain posted on these forums :) ). Ordered Thursday , delivered by courier on Friday. I passed the phone on to a friend who wanted a `simple` phone for his mrs. Two days later he told it had a fault (the battery wasn`t making proper contact and kept switching the phone off). I contacted customer services and the next day a courier bought a new phone and took the old one away. Excellent service , especially considering that I only paid £16 for the phone (and it came with a £20 airtime voucher :o - man , that was good deal). Of course , they probably then tightened up the contacts and sold that one as recon (but who would know ;) ).

I bought one a while ago. To be honest it still looked brand new and unused to me mate! They obviously recon them to a high standard. Bit of a bargain :D
