The world of mobile technology is ever-evolving, with new models being released frequently. With this rapid cycle of changes, we’re often left with old phones and other eligible devices that gather dust in some forgotten drawer - or worse, heading straight to landfill and taking all of their potential value with them.
You might be surprised by how much your device is worth when you trade in your phone. Let’s discuss this further and delve into the best possible practices to ensure you maximise your trade-in value.
Our Trade-in program offers a simple way to part with your old device while extending the life cycle of mobile phones. When you trade in an old device, you’ll have more to spend on your new device, with the cash value of your phone transferred directly into your bank account or Paypal.
One of the best things about trading your phone in is the potential to save on the cost of a new phone. This can vary depending on the make, model, and the device's condition. The device's condition is very important to making sure you get as much money as possible, so make sure the condition matches your description!
Trading in your old phone is a good idea for your wallet, and an even better move for the environment. By giving your device a second life, you’re helping reduce electronic waste and contributing to a more sustainable technology lifecycle.
Trading in isn’t only a cost-effective move, but also an environmentally friendly way to upgrade your tech. Only eligible devices are refurbished for resale after secure data wiping, while devices that cannot be securely wiped are responsibly recycled. Don’t let that device become household rubbish - trade in your old device and save the environment in the very same transaction!
As for The Big Phone Store - we don’t only buy phones, we have a huge range of refurbished phones for you to buy from us - helping you save even more on the cost of your upgrade!
Before you start the trade in process, you’ll need to gather some essential details about your device. This includes the make, model, and condition, all of which can usually be found in your device settings or on the original box.
For Apple devices, simply tap “Settings,” then “About” to locate your serial number.
For other devices, check the packaging or consult the manufacturer’s website.
Remove any security locks, such as Google lock or pin codes, and perform a factory reset to ensure your personal data is protected.
Don’t forget to take out your SIM card and any memory cards.
When you're ready to trade-in, simply enter your details on our website and we'll send you a free welcome pack, with packaging, shipping label and postage all taken care of!

Before you trade in your phone, be sure to back up any data you want to keep and perform a factory reset to wipe the device clean. This step is critical to maintaining your privacy and ensuring that your personal data isn't accessible to the next owner, or to us here at The Big Phone Store.
And don't worry about any lingering data on your device, as we provide a free professional data destruction service on every phone that we buy back! Remember to remove your SIM card, and also your memory card.
Even if you have a damaged phone, don't assume it has zero value. At The Big Phone Store, we accept phones in various conditions and offer a price based on the specific damages.
And even if your phone is completely beyond repair, it will contain rare-earth metals that need to be recycled, as well as harmful chemicals that need to be disposed of responsibly rather than buried in a landfill. In other words, the decision to trade in your phone can often be worthwhile, even if the device isn't in perfect shape.

While our trade-in program at The Big Phone Store obviously has a focus on smartphones, they aren't the only devices you can trade in.
We buy back a huge range of tablets, smartwatches, and even games consoles too! It's worth exploring the trade-in options for any tech you have around, as you might be surprised by what you can get.
Your old mobile phone is almost certainly worth at least a small amount of cash, especially if it's still in working condition when you trade in.
Whilst newer phones obviously can get huge cash payouts, older devices can still be in demand, either to be sold on for a very low price, or for their valuable components. In short, to find out how much your old phone is worth, simply search for the model of your trade-in device using the search bar above!
If your phone matches the description you provide, you'll get paid for your mobile phone the very same day it arrives at our trade-in store.
That means money in your bank account as fast as humanly possible - and if you want it faster, you always have the option to pay for express shipping, or even hand-deliver your device to us in store.
Any phone that legally belongs to you can be traded in. That means a phone that you own outright, so if you're in the middle of a fixed-term contract, you won't be able to trade in. We also cannot accept devices that have been reported as stolen.
We buy a huge range of different brands of phone, including of course Apple, Google, and Samsung. Trade in your Samsung phone, Google Pixel or Apple iPhone at The Big Phone Store, for the best prices you'll find out of any of our competitors!
