Hi,

I sent in my iphone 3gs for repair.. there is a crack in the inner screen (not on the surface of the glass).


MAXIS took it in for repair and when i was asked to collect it,I got a new iphone (without box).

I asked if it is refurbished set and the maxis guy told me it is not.


I came home and check it online. Apparently, serial number which start with 5k is refurbished set and model start with MB and mine matches all those.


What should i do? Can i get a brand new non refurbished replacement phone?



- Waited 2 weeks for my replacement set-

no i doubt so, essentially it doesnt make any difference between a refurbish or a new set as they follow the faulty phone's warranty, plus this how phone companies work anyways, more of a recycling program. Rest assured that MB could also mean its an older batch, so even with an extensive guide you cannot ascertain that its a refurbish or not since they are not apple technicians. You could always press your luck though, and get back to us here

I read one of the thread in lowyat.net which says..MAXIS warranty T&C said, they have the rights to replace you with refurbished phone, is that true? I dont have a copy of the T&C with me.


I just think that if if it is a refurbished unit, the staff should tell us the truth instead of saying it is a new unit.


Question: i bought my iphone in october 2009, the warranty will be due oct 2010. I got a replacement in june, does that mean my replacement phone will have another 1 year of warranty? or it will just last till oct 2010?


Anyone encounter this before?
