We can help whether you are looking to sell your phone or trade your phone in, so how do we determine the value of your existing device?
Stolen / Locked Devices
The secondhand mobile phone market is saturated with stolen or locked devices. Generally speaking a locked device is usually a stolen device, the reason I say this is if it was your device, you would be able to unlock it. If you approach me looking to sell your device, the first thing I am going to do is to check if the IMEI number is registered as locked to iCloud or stolen. If this is the case, unless you can unlock it, the device is just a fancy paper weight.
NB – Locked devices are not devices locked to a network like Orange or 3, they are devices locked to iCloud for example.
Carrier Locked Devices
If your device is locked or assigned to a specific carrier or mobile service provider, such as Orange, T-Mobile, 3 Mobile, it would be to your advantage to ask that company to unlock your device. Often when the mobile is end of contract the service provider will unlock the device for free for the account holder. If we need to unlock the device, it reduces the value of the device as we have to pay to have it unlocked.
No Password
No password will mean we will need to reset the device to factory settings, reloading new software. Not a big deal, just takes a little time.
Aesthetic Condition
Obviously if the iPhone / Samsung Smart Phone is in near new condition, buyers will pay more money for a device in great condition. If it is battered, chipped, scratched, it will mean that some external parts may need to be replaced to even make it sellable. The the cost of these parts and the cost of fitting these parts will impact on the value of the device. It really is worth keeping your device in a good quality cover.
Device Functions
We will test all the device functions to ensure that everything works. You will not believe how often people try to off load their device as being in perfect working condition, for us only to discover some major issues, like the wifi not working.
Then of course there is make and model and recent release of the next model, to take into account.
Should you wish to buy one of our premium used iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, Sony, HTC, Nokia, LG, Google, OnePlus or Motorola Phones, as well as sell your old device to us, I am sure we can do a deal that works for us both.
Should you wish to repair you device instead, you can bring your device to us or if you are busy, we come to you. We cover all of Bristol, Bath & Portishead.
How Much is my Phone Worth
That is the million dollar question. If you have read the points above, you can see that there are a several variables to consider. Working out a price is best done face to face, after we have had an initial chat on the telephone. It makes no sense expecting some crazy price, which often is the case.
One last note, don’t forget to back-up device. If you have not already reset your device, we will totally wipe all your data from the device once we have agreed a sale. Give us a call so we can help you Sell / Buy My Phone
