Opening new cellphone box instore

Some people take contracts and don't need device, it can be used for a gift or resell to get quick cash. If box is opened, resell value is lower.
A new SIM can be activated on any device.

Mine was opened and turned on in store to "check that its working"...
 
Peace of mind for the store(high . If at a later stage you've changed mind unfortunately you unable to return the device.. Edcon(edgars, CNA, jet) you've to sign a paper that you acknowledge the phone is working. Some people deliberately break phones on purpose for a refund ask the salesperson he/she will tell you..
 
Nothing new. Been like this for years.

Most stores have a "subject to in-store activation" disclaimer on deals.
 
Telkom told me it was policy to open the box while VC just handed it over.
