Get Your Cheap Refurbished iPhones Here

Remember when the iPhone launched and an 8GB model was $599? Well, you can currently get a refurbished 8GB iPhone from AT&T for $249, $150 off the current price and $350 less than the original price.

Of course, it's refurbished, so you risk getting a scratched-up one . It's interesting that just last week the Apple Store had refurbs, also - for $100 more.

Some people are reading this blurb (after you add the iPhone to your shopping cart) and thinking it means no activation required, but that's not the case:

iPhones are shipped inactive. If you have an existing number with another wireless carrier you will be able to transfer it during the activation process once you receive your device.

Reading that myself, I'm not sure how people are getting confused. It also says on the site:

*Requires 2-year plan, ordered during activation process. Limit one per customer.

Of course, I'm sure you could order the phone and jailbreak it, but if you don't want to go that route, you will still have to sign up with a 2-year plan. Still $249? It's tempting.
