$99 refurb iphone warranty = 90 day, cant extend... - jdc - 12-30-2008
just got off the phone with ATT asking them about the refurb iphone -- apparently refurb iphones dont work the same way refurb macs do
90 day warranty and no applecare can extend it -- cant even be covered by the ATT $5/month repair plan... bummer
looked like a good deal, not so much anymore

I take it that they are coming from ATT, not apple?

wow... so you can't put the SN into Apple's site and find you have 9~11 months of warranty left?
Refurbished iPhone 3G devices carry a warranty of 90 days or more. For details about the warranty on your refurbished iPhone 3G go to www.apple.com/support/oss/.

that was direct from the ATT rep -- who was very sharp and knew his stuff
i guess the only way to enter a serial number is to buy one...

They must have changed there policy, I bought the Iphone 2g refurb from ATT and I got a new one last week from warranty, I had the phone for 9 months. I need to go buy some apple care, hopefully no problems there.
