Hello everyone, I am about to buy BlackBerry KEYone from a local mobile shop. Apart from box and seals etc. can anyone tell me a systematic way of checking if the phone is brand new or used or refurbished?

I have an agreement with the seller that I will open the box, turn on the phone and run some tests. Can you please help me what tests / commands to run in order to check whether the phone is new or used.

Appreciate your quick help. Thanks!

Assembly Date:

You can find the assembly date for the unit in the MMI test / Traceability menu

1 - Dial *#2886#
2 - Hit "MANU"
3 - Then "Traceability" on top
4 - Hit "Pass"
5 - On the bottom should be your build date
6 - Hit "Pass" again
7 - Scroll to bottom and hit "exit"


You should get a date code like in:

20170529
yyyymmdd

..........

I'm not sure what UP TIME means but....

Main Settings (the gear on the upper right), About, Status and UpTime is at the bottom of that page. I presume it should be near zero?

1.check IMEI and PIN
You can see this Blackberry IMEI and PIN in a
way that the homescreen menu, select Options
then select Status and press the same key ALT
+ Shift + H it will show the IMEI number and PIN.
Make sure the PIN and IMEI numbers match
those in place and the battery box.

2.check Data Lifetime
To check this go to menu -> Options -> Status,
then type BUYR. When a new BlackBerry that is
visible only zero, but if the message Exceeding
120K and Voice Usage Exceeding 60 Minutes,
you should think twice, because the BlackBerry
device has already been used.
