Sell Phone

There are a variety of retail and carrier stores where you can sell your phone, most offering only store credit. Instead of trading in your phone for peanuts, Swappa lets you sell directly to buyers and receive the highest value for your old tech. With PayPal handling online transactions, Swappa is a great way to get cash for your phone — not store credit.

Swappa lets you sell your old phone for cash, no matter which carrier it belongs to. On Swappa you can find phones being sold from major carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint, including MVNOs like Cricket and more. As long as your carrier phone is paid off and in full working condition, you can sell it on Swappa. To help ensure that this process goes smoothly, you can check your IMEI number first.

To help protect buyers and create a worry-free shopping experience, Swappa's strict "no junk" policy prohibits the sale of broken phones in our marketplace. Although you can't sell a broken phone in our marketplace, the Swappa Repair Network can connect you with reputable repairs shops where you can have it fixed, or sell it for parts.

You can sell carrier locked phones on Swappa (a phone that is locked to its respective network), but all phones must be fully paid off before they can be listed and sold on Swappa. You can find the status of any mobile device with our ESN/IMEI checker.
