Built around the way people switch
Most people sell their old phone too early and spend a week without one, or too late and watch the price drop. Lock it in first and you do neither: the price is held, there is no obligation to send, and nothing happens until you post it.
Search your old phone, pick the storage and condition. The price you see is held for 14 days from your order.
Keep using your old phone. Once the new one is set up and your photos, chats and number have moved across, it is spare.

We test it the day it arrives, wipe it with certified software and pay you straight away. Usually two to three working days, post to paid.
Before you post it
Five minutes that save a week
A locked phone is the most common reason a trade-in stalls. Do these once the new phone is working and yours will go straight through.
- Back up, and check your photos and messages are on the new phone
- iPhone: turn off Find My. Android: remove your Google account
- Take out your SIM and any memory card
- Keeping your number? Text PAC to 65075 for your free switching code
- Factory reset it. We wipe every device with certified software anyway

Mostly about timing and payment. Here are the straight answers.
14 days from the day you place your order. If our price for your phone goes down in that time, yours does not. There is no obligation to send it once you have locked it in.
Lock in your price now and keep using your old phone. Post it once the new one is set up and everything has moved across, as long as that is within the 14 days.
By bank transfer or PayPal, whichever you choose at checkout. We pay the same working day your phone arrives and passes its checks, so from posting to paid is usually two to three working days.
We email you a revised offer. Accept it and we pay straight away, or decline it and we send your phone back free of charge.
Every device is wiped with certified data-erasure software before it goes anywhere else. Please still turn off Find My iPhone or remove your Google account first, or we cannot process it.
Yes. Cracked screens, worn batteries and other faults can still be sold: choose Faulty when you get your quote and we price it once we have checked it, up to the amount shown.
