How much could your old phone be worth?

The amount of money we’ll pay for your phone depends on the make and model of your device and what condition it’s in.

How to get the best price for your device

1. Look out for promo codes and enhanced offers at giffgaff, such as our trade-in promos.
2. A good way to get the best value from your old phone is to keep it in the best possible condition. Most people know that it’s best to always use a case and a screen protector. Also, don’t keep your keys next to your phone in your pockets; this will help avoid scratches.
3. Keep your screen brightness on a mid to low setting as consistent full brightness can cause screen burn, which is something we check for.

The benefits of recycling a device

Besides getting cash for your old phone, you’re also helping the planet.

A typical smartphone is only expected to last approximately two years before it’s replaced with a newer model. Because of this, a lot of smartphones are simply thrown away and replaced, when instead, they can be recycled or refurbished.

There are lots of finite elements and minerals inside your smartphone, in other words, materials that can no longer be used when you throw your old phone away. If your device is too old or too broken, all the materials can be extracted and reused to repair other smartphones.

But, if your old phone is in good enough condition, giffgaff can refurbish it and sell it on to someone else.

Tips and tricks to make the most out of your old phone

It’s always good to have a back-up, just in case something happens to your current phone, and you can’t replace it right away.

But, if you’ve got lots of old phones lying around, there are a couple of things you can do with them:

1. Recycle them with giffgaff: We’ll take any old phone and either refurbish it to sell on or we’ll extract all the minerals to use in other phone repairs.
2. Give them to your friends and family: If someone you know needs a new phone, there’s no reason you can’t just give away one of your old ones.
