Refurbished iPhone 12
For all customers on non-Clubcard Price deals, each year from 2024, your basic monthly usage price or basic monthly price (depending on your contract type) will rise in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of inflation published in January + 3.9%.
If the CPI rate is negative, we'll only apply the 3.9%. The price rise will come into effect on bills dated on or after April of each year, unless otherwise stated.
For all customers on Clubcard Price deals, your basic monthly usage price (for data, minutes and texts within your allowances) will stay frozen for the length of your contract only.

Refurbished iPhone 12 FAQs
What’s a like new phone?
Our refurbished iPhone 12s are like new phones – second-hand phones that’ve been classified as Grade A within the refurbished phones category following an in-depth 36-point check. Our used and reconditioned iPhone 12 devices work perfectly, with no visible scratches and all data securely wiped.
Most of our refurbished iPhone 12s haven’t had any parts replaced. If replacement parts have been needed, we’ve made sure to use genuine Apple ones.

Are your refurbished iPhone 12s good to buy?
They certainly are. Our refurbished iPhone 12s are like new phones, so you know they’re Grade A standard within the refurbished phones category. Looking for a brand new iPhone instead? No problem. We’ve got the iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and loads more on our shelves.

All our refurbished iPhone 12s are packaged in a recycled box, along with:
