Mario,
I was looking for iPhone 6 for my wife on kijiji. Then I checked factory direct and got a refurb one from them. 1 year warranty. She had it so far for 6 months, no issues. and phone eas 9.5/10 in terms of condition.
Right now they have a sale, 399 for 64G iPhone 6. Just one thing, you cant return for refund, only store credit

SO rogers won't upgrade her because they want to change that plan? is that work plan from her work? if so, ask the rogers rep for that company to deal with it.
If not, buying a phone outright, sometimes isn't much more expensive than a hardware upgrade phone cost (speaking only apply here) anyway.

I prefer to buy everything used but I won't buy a used phone. With built in batteries you will never enjoy that amazing battery life that phones have when they are new. Also half the used stuff out there is repaired phones with knockoff parts. No thanks.

You can thank all the fucking idiots that were complaining about 3 year terms for how expensive plans are now. Dumb fucks.
I've been buying my phones outright for the past few years now. Same situation, want new phone go on new plan. I'm on a government plan $50 with 6gb.
this 100%.

On the topic of phones, i am on my second iphone5s...it's had a rough life and i may potentially replace it and thinking of going with 5SE.
My work phone is as big as the iphone 6, it's just more cumbersome to use with one hand compared to the 5.

I won't buy a used phone as I don't know if the previous owner(s) have brought it into the can w/ them.

My Ifone6+'s battery is on its last leg. I am looking at 2nd hand as well but ONLY Apple warranty replacements. Guarantee apple parts, minimal washroom time.
I use maybe 5 minutes a month so not concern with people's germs or putting my face on a screen where the prior owner's shit stained hands.

It's only $100 to get a new battery from Apple.

Still cheaper than any used iPhone.
