Why sell your phone to Zextons?

  • We pay what we quote. 100% of the price you're shown, or your device comes back free. No last-minute renegotiation once we've got your phone. Testing
  • Your price is locked for 14 days. Phone prices drop constantly. Yours won't while you're getting round to posting it. Testing
  • Paid within 24 hours. Not “up to a week”. Not store credit. Cash, to your bank.
  • Free postage, both ways. Our Freepost pack costs you nothing. If you change your mind, the return costs you nothing either.
  • We buy the phones nobody else wants. Old, damaged, faulty, half-dead. If it's got value, we'll find it.

Can I sell a broken or faulty device?

Yes. Zextons buys phones, tablets, consoles, watches and laptops with cracked screens, faulty batteries, charging problems, water damage and more. Most people assume a broken device is worthless. It usually isn't.

Be honest about the condition when you get your quote and the price you see is the price you get. We pay 100% of what we quote, or we post your device back to you free of charge.

Value My Broken Device

Do you buy phones locked to a network?

Yes. Zextons buys phones locked to O2, EE, Vodafone and Three, as well as unlocked and SIM-free handsets. A network-locked phone is usually worth slightly less than an unlocked one, so tell us the network when you get your quote and the price you see will already account for it.

How much is my device worth?

Value comes down to four things: the model, the storage or spec, the condition, and how much demand there is for it right now. Newer devices hold more value, but plenty of older phones, tablets and consoles are still worth real money.

Every month it sits in a drawer, it's worth a little less. The fastest way to find out is to search for it.
