Frequently Asked Questions

You Have Questions? We Have Answers.

Do I need to bring accessories (charger, headphones) when selling or recycling my phone?

While accessories are not required, bringing them can increase the resale value of your phone or aid in the recycling process, depending on their condition and usability.

Can I buy a refurbished phone from you?

Yes, you can buy refurbished phones from us with a 90-day warranty for mechanical defects.

How can I ensure the data on my phone is secure before I sell or recycle it?

We recommend backing up and then wiping all personal data from your device before bringing it in. Additionally, we perform a standardized data deletion process on all devices we receive for an extra layer of security.

What types of phones do we buy?

We buy all types of cell phones, regardless of brand or model.

How do we determine the price for a used device?

Our pricing is based on current market values, the phone's condition, and its functionality. We provide a fair assessment and immediate offer following a brief evaluation.

What exactly happens to the phones that are recycled

Phones are either refurbished and resold or dismantled responsibly. Salvageable components are reused, and others are processed safely to avoid environmental harm.
