This refurbished Galaxy S23 Plus deal looks like a solid budget unlocked phone at around $240, especially for anyone pairing it with a low cost carrier plan. The price is in line with other S23 Plus refurb and used listings, and the seller has a track record of phones arriving in good shape, sometimes with warranty coverage and quick replacements when something is off. The main cautions are the loose meaning of refurbished, the weaker trust in eBay refurbs, and the Good tier being viewed as closer to a lower grade than the label suggests. Software support is also nearing its end, so it is best for shoppers who are fine with an older phone and shorter upgrade runway.
People who want a warranty-backed refurb, because Allstate coverage and buyer-focused returns can make problems easier to handle.
Several purchases from CellFee are reported to arrive in good shape and work without problems, including phones that were later used for trade-ins. At the same time, eBay refurb listings can vary, so warranty coverage and return protection matter.
The listing is reported to come with at least a 1-year Allstate warranty, which helps offset refurb risk. That warranty is the main protection mentioned for buying through eBay refurb listings.
At $239.99, the S23+ is a strong budget buy if you want an unlocked phone, and pairing it with a low-cost Visible plan can make the total monthly cost much lower. It is also in the normal $200-$300 range many refurbished S23+ units sell for.
The "Good" tier is the one to avoid here; "Excellent" is described as closer to what "Good" should be, and "Open box" is also considered acceptable. That makes the condition label important when comparing listings.
It is reported to have about 1 year left of major updates and roughly 2 years of security patches. That means it may be a short-term buy if you want a phone you can keep for several more years.
Its a great price if you dont have a high budget and want an unlocked phone. 240$ for the phone + 20$ a month Visible plan is a huge savings for someone on a budget.
MSRP is misleading. The S26 is $999 currently (no current sales). Many s23+ are used/refurbished around $200-$300. This is just a normal price for a old used phone.
