Condition

A few quick questions so we can give you an accurate offer.

Does the phone have any faults or damage?

If any part of the phone requires replacement, select "Has faults or damage". Light cosmetic wear from normal use does not count.

How does the phone look?

Tap the closest match. Your choice will show a tick.

See condition examples Phone condition grades, Grade A like new, Grade B good, Grade C fair, Grade D broken

Match your phone to the closest example.

Apart from the faults, how does the rest of it look? * Required

What's your battery health? * Required

Choose the capacity shown in Settings, or Not sure.

Where do I find battery health?

Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging → Maximum Capacity.

Draining fast, shutting down or getting hot? Choose Has faults or damage above too, even if battery health is high.

Best done before you send it. iPhone: Settings → your name → Sign Out. Samsung/Google: remove the Google account. Screen dead, or it won't turn on? Remove it at icloud.com (Find Devices → Remove), or give us the passcode when we check it (only so we can test it, never for anything else).

✅ If we can unlock it Your estimate Same price as unlocked. Give us your passcode when we check it (only so we can test it, never for anything else), or remove it at icloud.com and we'll wipe it
🔒 If it stays locked £20 Parts price, if the lock can't be removed, we buy your own phone for parts only

It must be your own phone. Most locks come off with your help in a few minutes, that's how you keep the full offer.

Some phones are locked to the network they were bought from (EE, O2, etc.). Not sure? Pop in another network's SIM, or check with the original provider.

📶
Network locked, 10% off the offer

A phone locked to one network is worth less to the next owner, so the range drops by 10%. Unlock it first (often free from the original network) and you get the full price.

A blacklisted IMEI can't be used on UK networks. Not sure? Dial *#06# for the IMEI and check it (e.g. on CheckMEND or with the original network).

📵
Parts only, we'll quote you directly

If it's your own phone and a network or an insurer has blocked it, we may buy it for parts. Not sure? Check the IMEI on CheckMEND first, a clean result gets you the normal price.

⛔
We can't buy a phone reported lost or stolen

If it has been recovered and the report cleared, check the IMEI on CheckMEND and message us.

Free recycling

The iPhone 7 and 8 range has no trade in value with us any more, but we'll still take it off your hands and recycle it responsibly, free of charge. Send your details and we'll send you a free Royal Mail Tracked 48 label.

🔒 Account lock noted, two possible prices

If the lock is removed: full estimate above. If it stays locked: a parts price, we buy your own locked phone for parts only.

✅ If it tests working Worst case parts deducted, confirmed when we test it
🔧 If it doesn't Parts price, we recover parts value only

With no display we can't test it until it's with us. We can usually unlock it with your passcode when we check it (only so we can test it), or you can remove it from your iCloud account (icloud.com → Find Devices → Remove) and we'll wipe it.

We check the IMEI when it arrives. If it turns out to be blocked by a network or insurer, we can only offer a parts price.

📵 Blocked by a network or insurer, parts only

A blocked phone can't be resold as working, so there's no automatic price. If it's your own phone we may buy it for parts, send your details and we'll quote you directly.

⛔ Reported lost or stolen: we can't buy it

We never buy a phone that has been reported lost or stolen, so there's nothing more to do on this quote and nothing will be sent. If the report is cleared later, start a new quote and we'll check the IMEI then.

A typical range for this model. We confirm your offer by email once you've filled in the short buying form.

🛡️
No surprises

If the phone matches what you've told us, your offer is inside this range: towards the top for the best of its grade, towards the bottom for more wear or a weaker battery within what you told us. If we find something different, we show you exactly what and you decide.

Yes. Cell Devices accepts phones in almost any condition including water damage, cracked screens, and phones that won't power on. The limits are about the phone's status rather than its condition: We cannot buy a phone that is reported lost or stolen, one with finance still outstanding on it, or one that is not legally yours to sell. A phone of your own that is blocked by a network or an insurer, or locked to an iCloud or Google account you cannot remove, we may still buy for parts.
