How It Works

Selling your phone through sellmobilephones.com takes four steps. A fuller walkthrough is on the way; in the meantime, each stage below links to a detailed guide.

We are a comparison service, not a recycler. You choose which recycler to sell to, send your phone directly to them, and they pay you the quoted price once they have inspected it. Our service is free to use because we earn a commission from the recycler when a sale completes, which means you always receive the full quoted amount.

Step by step

1 · Compare live quotes
Search for your model, pick your storage tier and condition grade, and we will show you live quotes from our panel of vetted UK recyclers.

2 · Choose your recycler
The highest price is not always the best choice. Review each recycler's postage method, payment options, and terms before you commit.

3 · Prepare your phone
Back up anything you want to keep, remove your Apple ID or Google account, then factory reset the device before sending it.

4 · Post your phone
Most recyclers provide a free prepaid postage label or arrange a courier collection. Always get a proof of posting receipt.

5 · Get paid
The recycler inspects your phone and pays you, typically within one to five working days of delivery, by bank transfer, PayPal, or cheque.
