Sell Your Phone Online
Selling privately can be a hassle. You write the advert, answer the same questions again and again, and wait for someone who may never turn up. Then there's the haggling.
You can sell your phone online by choosing your device, checking its condition and getting a quote before you send it to us. That's the whole idea. It's quicker and a lot less stressful.
Here's how it works:
- Search for your phone model.
- Choose the condition that fits it best.
- Look at your quote.
- Send the phone to us.
- Receive your payment.
Your quote is based on the model and the condition you select, so it's worth answering honestly. You'll know what to expect before anything leaves your hands.
Sell Your Old or Used Phone
Be honest, where's your last phone? Most of us have one lying around in a drawer, tangled up with a charger that doesn't fit anything any more.
It doesn't have to stay there. If you're thinking, "how do I sell my used phone?", the answer is that you can value it online in a few clicks. You could sell your old phone for cash instead of letting it gather dust.
Plenty of people do this for good reasons:
- You've upgraded and no longer need your previous handset.
- You have a spare device you never use.
- You've replaced an older mobile that was slowing down.
- You want to clear out unused tech around the house.
Whether you want to sell old phone handsets from a few years back or a model you only just replaced, the steps are the same. We also make it simple to sell old mobile phones, whatever they make. Older models can still hold value, so a quick check costs you nothing.
Can I Sell a Broken or Damaged Phone?
Quite possibly, yes. A smashed screen doesn't always mean a worthless phone.
If you've been asking, "can I sell my broken phones?", the answer depends on the device and what's wrong with it. You may be able to sell broken phones for cash, because some parts and components can still be reused or recovered. You can also sell damaged phone models that have a few knocks and scrapes.
Here are the kinds of problems we're used to seeing:
- Cracked screens
- Damaged displays
- Faulty components
- Battery issues
- Water damage
- Phones that won't switch on
Selling a broken phone is often easier than people expect. We can't promise a fixed price, though. Your quote depends on the model and its condition, and we'd rather be upfront about that than get your hopes up.
The simplest way to find out is to run a valuation. You'll quickly see whether your phone still has something to offer.
What Condition Can I Sell My Phone In?
You can sell a phone in almost any state. What matters is choosing the right condition when you ask for a quote. Here's a rough guide:
- Working: It turns on and everything works as it should.
- Used: It works but shows normal signs of wear, like light scratches.
- Damaged: It works, but something's wrong, such as a cracked screen.
- Broken: It has serious faults, like a dead camera or failing battery.
- Non-working: It won't power on at all.
Choose the one that's closest to the truth. If you're stuck between two, it's usually safer to go with the lower one. An honest description means fewer surprises later.
Sell Your Phone for Cash or Parts
Even if a phone isn't any use for calls and scrolling, it might not be useless altogether. Inside it are bits that can sometimes be reused.
Looking to sell phone for parts? That could be an option when the handset has stopped working properly. Depending on the model, the screen, camera modules, battery and other internal components may still have some worth.
And if your phone is in decent shape, you could simply sell your old phone for cash and be done with it. Either way, the quote tells you where you stand.
We can't guarantee every broken device will be accepted for parts, and not every phone will bring in a payment. What we can promise is a clear answer based on our buying criteria. The valuation tool will show you what applies to your phone.
How to Sell My Phone Today
Want to get moving? You can sell my phone today in five simple steps, so there's no reason to wait.
1. Find Your Phone
Choose your phone from the list on our site. Start with the brand, then pick the exact model and storage size. If you're not sure which one you have, check the settings on your phone or look at the back of the handset. Getting this right means your quote starts off accurate.
2. Tell Us About Its Condition
Select the condition that best describes your phone. Think about the screen, the casing, the battery and whether it switches on. Accurate details matter because your quote is based on them. If we receive something different from what you described, the value might change.
3. Get Your Quote
Check the quote we show you. It's the value we can offer for your phone, based on its model and condition. Take your time to look it over. There's no pressure, and you only carry on if you're happy with the amount.
4. Send Your Phone
Pack your phone securely and send it to us following the instructions you're given when you accept your quote. Before posting, back up anything you want to keep, then do a factory reset to wipe your data. Take out your SIM and memory card too.
5. Get Paid
Receive your payment once we've checked your phone. We'll go through the payment options during your order, so you know exactly what to expect. Always check the details shown at the time, as they're the most accurate.
Why Sell Your Phone With RecyclePro?
We're a UK phone buyback service, and our aim is to make selling easy to understand. Nobody likes posting something valuable and then wondering what will happen next.
A clear valuation and a straightforward selling process help you see what's coming before you send anything. You choose your phone, describe its condition and see your quote up front. After that, we check the device and sort out payment.
Your data matters too. Wiping your phone before it leaves you is one of the best habits to have. We'll remind you how to do it, so your personal details stay yours.
There's a bonus as well. Every phone that's reused or recycled is one fewer sitting in a drawer or heading for landfill.
What Happens to My Phone After I Sell It?
First, we assess it. We check the condition against what you told us, so we know what we're dealing with.
From there, it depends on the phone. Here's what can happen:
- Reuse or resale: Phones in good working order can go on to a new owner.
- Refurbishment: Some devices may be repaired and made ready for reuse where that's suitable.
- Parts recovery: Phones that no longer work may have components that can be salvaged.
- Recycling: Anything that can't be reused is responsibly recycled.
We can't say exactly where each individual device will end up, because that depends on its condition. What we can say is that nothing is treated as simply rubbish without being looked at first.
