How to Get the Best Price When Selling Your Smartphone

Getting a good offer starts with knowing your phone's exact model, storage capacity, carrier-lock status and condition. Indycells buys eligible iPhones and other phones locally in Indianapolis, including many damaged and carrier-locked devices.

1. Check your model and storage

Look in your phone's settings for the exact model and storage capacity. Selecting the correct version helps you get an accurate quote.

2. Describe the condition accurately

Very light scratches, heavier frame wear, cracked glass and damaged displays affect value differently. Be upfront about any issues so your quote reflects the phone you bring in.

3. Know the lock and financing status

Carrier-locked and financed phones may still qualify for an offer. Financing obligations do not disappear when a phone is sold. Read our guide to financed iPhones and our carrier-lock guide.

4. Prepare your personal information

Back up important data and make sure you know how to remove your personal accounts before completing the sale. Never share your passwords with a stranger.

5. Compare your options

Private buyers, kiosks and local stores may offer different prices and convenience. See our kiosk-versus-local-buyer comparison.
