They&#8217;re stripped of their outer casings, fully tested and any faulty parts replaced. They&#8217;re then updated to run the latest version of software before being given a brand new housing and battery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently there are 4 different refurbished phones available &#8211; each of them a classic that&#8217;s easy to use and has great battery life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Refurbished Nokia 3310<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Nokia 3310 has got to be one of Nokia&#8217;s most popular mobile phones and I&#8217;m pretty sure that almost everyone will have used one! It has an incredibly easy to use menu system and a clear, well spaced keypad. The Nokia 3310 is all about calls and texts &#8211; no internet, no picture messaging, no fancy features and as a result, you&#8217;ll get amazing battery talk time and standby times from it. A single charge can give you up to 4.5 hours talk time and ten days stand by<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_6603\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sim-free-nokia-3310-grade-a-14001\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6603\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6603\" title=\"Refurbished Nokia 3310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a1.jpg\" alt=\"Refurbished Nokia 3310\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a1.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Refurbished Nokia 3310<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Refurbished Nokia 3410<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bigger brother to the 3310. Essentially the same phone as the 3310, but weighs 20g less, has a slightly different keypad and a basic internet browser. A bigger memory for names and numbers make it ideal as a replacement phone for work. Battery life is also excellent, with 4 hours talk time and nearly 11days stand by.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6607\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sim-free-nokia-3410-grade-a-13992\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6607\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6607\" title=\"Refurbished Nokia 3410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a5.jpg\" alt=\"Refurbished Nokia 3410\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a5.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/a5-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Refurbished Nokia 3410<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Refurbished Nokia 6310i<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was a time when this was the ultimate business users phone, and to be honest it&#8217;s still popular now! The Nokia 6310i is slim, light, easy to use, with a few extra features to the 3310 and 3410 &#8211; the main ones being Bluetooth connectivity, a much larger memory for names and numbers, as well as the ability to connect it to your PC or laptop for use as a modem or to sync your contacts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6604\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sim-free-nokia-6310i-black-gold-grade-a-14235\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6604\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6604\" title=\"Refurbished Nokia 6310i\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/A2.jpg\" alt=\"Refurbished Nokia 6310i\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/A2.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/A2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/A2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6604\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Refurbished Nokia 6310i<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Nokia 6310i is still the only phone available that will fit the Nokia Car Kit &#8211; Cark-91, a fully installed car kit that had a cradle to charge your phone.
