Way to prove phone is new?

---

Is there any way to tell for absolute certain that a phone is new?

I know it's easy these days to reset counters and such, so I was just wondering if there was any way to tell for sure if a phone someone sold on ebay is indeed new and not just a clean used or refurbished phone.

Thanks for the info!

impossible !!!

u can't verify if it's new, cause you only need to hard reset the phone to get a brand new phone (OS is as new) !!!!

anyway just look at it,if it looks new, it's new, otherway, it's an old phone !

salut !

Look around it and specifically at the silver line around it.
If the phone is old, the silver line always goes off.
Slt

Yea the silver line is a way to tell and also, look if the chrome color is wearing off the middle button...
