How Does The Trade-In Process Work?

Looking to upgrade your phone without the hefty price tag? At Mobile Reborn, we make trading in your old device quick, easy, and rewarding. Our trade-in program allows you to turn your used tech into instant credit either to put towards a new device or cash in your pocket.

In this blog post, we’ll break down everything you need to know about our trade-in service, the step-by-step process, and why trading in your phone with Mobile Reborn is the smartest way to upgrade your tech.

Why Trade In Your Phone?

The average smartphone upgrade cycle is around two to three years, and with new models boasting the latest tech advancements, it's tempting to switch more often. But what do you do with your old phone? Rather than letting it gather dust in a drawer, trading it in offers several benefits:

  • Save Money: Reduce the cost of your new device by applying trade-in credit towards your purchase.
  • Eco-Friendly: Trading in helps recycle or repurpose your device, reducing e-waste.
  • Convenient: No need to deal with selling your phone privately. Get an instant valuation and cash without the hassle.

What Devices Are Eligible for Trade-In?

At Mobile Reborn, we accept a wide range of devices, including:

  • iPhones
  • Android smartphones (Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc.)
  • Tablets (iPads and Android tablets)
  • Smartwatches (Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch)
  • Consoles (Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Microsoft Xbox)

Even if your phone has a cracked screen, minor cosmetic damage, or isn’t the latest model, it still holds value. We evaluate each device based on its condition, brand, and model to give you a fair trade-in offer.

How the Mobile Reborn Trade-In Process Works

We’ve designed the trade-in process to be as simple and straightforward as possible. Here’s how it works:

1. Get an Instant Quote

The first step is to get an estimate for your device. Simply visit the Mobile Reborn Trade-In page and input key details about your phone:

  • Model and make
  • Storage capacity
  • Condition (Good, Fair, Poor)

Once entered, you’ll receive an instant trade-in offer. If you’re happy with the quote, proceed to the next step.

2. Prepare Your Device

Before sending in your phone, it’s essential to:

  • Back up your data: Make sure all your photos, contacts, and app data are saved to iCloud, Google Drive, or your computer.
  • Erase your data: Perform a factory reset on your device to ensure all personal information is removed.
  • Remove SIM and SD cards: Take out any cards that you may need for your new device.

3. Ship Your Device

Once you accept the trade-in offer, we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label. Simply pack your device securely in a box, affix the shipping label, and drop it off at your nearest postal location.

4. Receive Your Payment

After we receive your device, our team will inspect it to verify its condition matches your description, and your device will go through our testing process, to ensure everything is working properly. If everything checks out, we’ll finalize the trade-in and issue your payment. You can choose to receive:

  • Cash: Directly deposited into your bank account or via PayPal.
  • Trade-in Credit: Apply this towards a new phone from our extensive selection of refurbished devices.

Our goal is to process and complete the trade-in within 24-48 hours after receiving your device.
