How do I delete information on my old phone and put it back to industry settings?

Before you send your device our way, you should wipe it and restore it to factory settings. If you forget, not to worry, we’ll do it anyway - but it’s always best to have it done on both ends!

We have summarised the actions you need to take before sending your old phone to our partner. If you follow these you ensure your data is safely removed and the smartphone is ready to be checked immediately, which means you can get your money quicker!

1. Remove all SIM and memory cards before shipping.
2. Factory reset the device.
3. Deactivate any account locks (such as Google account, Samsung account, Blackberry Protect, etc.) - this is the only way we can check it and process it again accordingly.
4. Also remove blocks like swipe patterns, pins with number sequences or passwords. Please note that all personal data (photos, contacts, etc.) that are still on the device after your device has arrived will be professionally deleted and cannot be restored.

How much can you get paid for your old smartphone?

It depends on which model it is, the storage space and what physical condition it is in. With our partners we aim to offer you the most competitive prices and pay you as much as possible for your old smartphone. Currently, we have offers for as high as over €1,000! This of course depends on how recent the model is, its storage capacity and its condition, however.

When selling back your phone through refurbed, the information you enter about what model it is, storage space and condition combined with the current demand renders the best price from our partners. Once you have sent the phone to them, they will check it and either verify your assessment or provide you with a second offer. Once you both agree on the condition and price and you accept an offer, you will get an instant payment to your chosen bank account.

Can I also sell a refurbished smartphone I bought at refurbed?

YES! This would make us very happy, and it is how we vision the circular economy developing, nothing is wasted and all resources and products are reused, repurposed or at least recycled.
