This is still not perfectly clear. I have a replacement phone through the 
company is called something like ensure on which Verizon uses to ensure the 
phones that they sell to their customers. They call it a replacement phone. It 
does not seem like a new phone although  looks like a new phone or did at any 
rate. So a replacement phone is still not going to be a new phone? Is that   
what this article is saying. I was led to believe that the replacement phones 
were new but that I guess was quite and erroneous presumption on my part
