No. We cannot accept devices that have been reported as lost or stolen.
Devices that have been reported lost or stolen should be turned into the authorities or the phone carrier it’s associated with so they can be returned to the rightful owner. If the device is yours please contact your carrier to have the blacklist status removed.
As part of our online trade-in process, each of our customers are required to contractually confirm the device is in fact theirs to sell and has not been reported as lost or stolen. We also remind customers of this at several points in the process. The device you sell must be yours to sell and must not have been reported lost or stolen.
At SmartphonesPLUS customer privacy is taken seriously. When you send your phone to sell, we completely erase all files and documents from your phone by performing a factory data reset and destroying the memory cards and SIM cards, if present inside the phone.
It is highly recommended that you clear your phone of all your personal data before selling it.
Please Note: If you do forget to take out your memory card or SIM card, we may be unable to send the SIM or memory card back to you should you decide to cancel your transaction as they are destroyed immediately during the inspection process.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for any additional information not covered here. Under no circumstance will any of our technicians violate your privacy or misuse your information.
If you choose to be paid by PayPal, you will see the cash arrive into your account immediately after inspection. If you choose payment via check, you can expect to receive it within 2-7 business days after device inspection.
Your payment may be delayed if we find it is not in the quoted condition.
