Phone was once listed as a new item. The smartphone recieved was once in very desirable structure and was once repackaged to show up new, however was once lacking some accessories. I checked the serial range and the unique Samsung SN was once wiped from the cellphone and was once no the place on the packaging. I would propose checking the serial range via dialing #06# on the smartphone dial screen. And barring a legitimate serial range Samsung will now not guarantee the phone. The smartphone did have an IMEI#, however these can effortlessly be forged. If you favor to take the risk, I would solely buy if the object is Prime eligible to ease returns.
