IPhone 5c refurb

Anonymous

I have ordered an iPhone 5c refurb and read to see the phone does not come with a charger, does that mean the USB plug or the actual wire that connects to the phone?

Also just wondering if the apple earpods will be included?

No, they won't be included either.

A lot of phones are shipping without the wall wart these days. Most of have these kicking about or a pc that can be used to charge the phone from.

Poor practice in my opinion. No-one should be encouraged to use old chargers or buy cheap ones from Ebay etc.

This type of cost cutting could put lives at risk. slight_frown

It's common practice not to include a wall charger when you purchase a return phone.
This isn't unique to o2.

You're quite right that this practice has become the norm these days, but despite the eco-friendly intentions behind it, it does seem a short-sighted view given that chargers are not standard across all devices, which can lead to the obvious safety concerns that have already been expressed.

 

If you traded in your device at a retailer like CeX, having all of the accessories that were originally supplied, would definitely ensure a better price, so it does seem strange that other retailers would consider them surplus to requirement. And if they're removing "surplus" chargers just to recycle them, why can't consumers be trusted to do the same?

because the retailers need something to upsell you. Cases etc are cheaper online and people won't mind buying those. But cheap chargers still send chills down most consumers backs.
