What are the benefits of "au Certified"?

　In general, the advantage of used smartphones is that they can be purchased at a reasonable price than new. In addition, au Certified has the following benefits: One of the risks to buy used smartphones without so -called "red rom" is "network use restrictions". This is set to "refuse" a connection to a mobile phone network on an individual terminal for any of the following reasons.・ “Unpaid” has occurred in the terminal price. ・ The terminal is fraudulent (including theft). Simply speaking, if the network use is restricted, it will not be used as a mobile phone. The terminal in such a state is called "red rom". Normally, a mobile phone buyer checks the terminal after confirming the status of network use restrictions. However, it may be in a "red rom" state after purchasing or selling it as a used smartphone. If the usage is restricted, it cannot be canceled even if the current user declares. In that regard, au Certified is that KDDI guarantees that it does not restrict network use. It is a great advantage that there is no worry that the smartphone you bought suddenly will not be connected to the network. Au Certified, which can join the compensation (warranty) service, allows the seller to join the paid terminal compensation (warranty) service. Both can be subscribed only when purchasing the terminal, so if you need it, consider carefully and join.
