04 / EQUIPMENT · PHONES & TABLETS

We buy old business phones & tablets.

Company iPhones from a refresh. iPads from the field team. Surface devices from the sales floor. Old handsets gathering dust in HR's drawer. We'll quote on the lot.

What we look at

Mobile kit, business and consumer.

↳ Phones
  • iPhone — 11 onwards usually best value, older if working
  • Samsung Galaxy S series
  • Samsung Galaxy Note (older)
  • Google Pixel 5 and up
  • Samsung XCover rugged business phones
  • Sonim / CAT ruggedised handsets

  • Microsoft Surface Pro — 6 onwards
  • Microsoft Surface Go
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S series
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab Active rugged
  • Lenovo Tab business series
  • Field-deployed kiosks (Zebra, Honeywell)

Cases, chargers, and original packaging if you have them — bring them. Adds value to a refurbished unit. If you don't, no problem.

Activation locks & MDM

The most important thing to do before collection.

↳ Why it matters

A device still locked to your iCloud, Google account, or MDM is unsellable — the next user can't activate it. We have to treat those as parts-only.

Apple devices: sign out of iCloud, turn off Find My, remove from Apple Business Manager / Apple School Manager. Or just do "Erase all content and settings" on each device — that handles most of it.

Android devices: remove the Google account, factory reset, then check on a SIM-free start that no Google account is required to activate. If it asks, the device is still locked.

MDM devices (Intune, Jamf, Kandji, AirWatch, Hexnode): release them from the MDM dashboard before collection. Some MDMs auto-wipe on release; some need manual.

Can't release them? Tell us. We'll quote them as parts-only. Frame, screen, battery, camera modules — the parts have value, just less than a working device.

Condition we'll consider

From mint to phone-graveyard.

A
Working, screen intact

Powers on, full function, screen unbroken. Best resale, best estimate.

Best estimate
B
Working, cracked screen

Phone works, screen cracked or shadowy. Common. We replace the screen, refurbish, resell. Discounted offer.

Discounted
C
Battery dead, port broken, water damage

Repairable faults. Often worth more as a repaired refurb than as parts.

Case-by-case
D
Dead / parts only

Won't power on, severe damage, locked. Parts have value — screens, batteries, frames, cameras.
