The
moment you buy a new smartphone, you plan to get rid of the old one.
Not just you, all of us probably thinks on the same lines and will do
the same thing to our old phones. New phones with new features will
always attract new buyers and the old phones will eventually have to
be discarded. But, spare a thought for our environment and think
about our atmosphere where we breathe. By dumping the old phones, we
are contributing to pollution of our natural resources. This is not a
good trend. To be able to break this harmful trend, we need to
implement something new. We can always encourage users to sell
used iPhone 6s in Calgary to
establish a new trend which will take recycling forward and save the
environment.
Selling
used phones is easy as well as difficult in certain respects. You
cannot simply wake up one fine morning and say, “I want to sell my
old mobile phone”. You have to do research on how to sell it and
where to sell it etc. if you do want to get a good deal by selling
it. Also, there are a few things you have to do before you think of
selling your used phone. That is necessary to prevent your phone
being jeopardized.
Is Your
Phone Locked or Unlocked?
Whenever
you plan to sell your used cell phone, do find out whether it is
locked to a particular network. It is important to find that our
because if it is locked, then you will have to unlock it before
selling the phone. Quite obviously, the phone will not fetch good
value if it is locked. In certain cases, the price might go down by
50% which means you will lose out on a lot of money. On the other
hand, you might have to spend a little sum on getting it unlocked
which could fetch you more money during the transaction.
How Much is
Your Phone Worth?

factors mainly determine the price of your mobile phone- its
condition and its age. Also, sometimes, its original price may become
a factor. Try to sell your phone with all the original accessories to
get the best price. If your phone is destroyed beyond repair, then
you may not be able to get a good value for your gadget. Consider the
condition before selling it. There is no point repenting later.

Sell?

you wish to sell your old mobile phone, just know that the condition
is an important factor. You can sell them online on the auction
sites. The safest option is to sell your used mobile phone to a
recycling company. These companies usually do not bother much about
the condition because they will shred it anyways to extract the raw
materials. There are various websites which take back such phones to
recycle them. They usually pay a fixed sum of money for an old mobile
phone. The best part about it is that these companies pay for such
phones which are not even considered by others.

selling your phone and also by encouraging others to sell their
gadgets, you will do a favor to yourself. This step will definitely
