We buy old business phones & tablets
We buy used business phones and tablets of any age or condition: iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Microsoft Surface and rugged handsets. We collect locally across Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales and the West Midlands, arrange courier collection for larger loads further out and send a prepaid box and label for smaller lots. Check our collection area if you're not sure we cover you.

What to do about activation locks and MDM
A device still signed into your iCloud, Google account or MDM platform can't be activated by the next person. Signing them out before collection means we can offer more; if that isn't possible, we still take them.
On Apple devices, sign out of iCloud, turn off Find My and remove the device from Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. Running Erase all content and settings on each device covers most of this in one step.
On Android devices, remove the Google account, run a factory reset, then check with a SIM-free start that no Google account is needed to activate it. If it still asks for an account, the device is locked.
On devices enrolled in Intune, Jamf, Kandji, AirWatch or Hexnode, release them from the MDM dashboard before we collect. Some MDM platforms auto-wipe on release, others need a manual step first.
Can't release a device before collection? Tell us, and we'll quote it as parts-only, since screens, batteries, frames and camera modules still carry value on their own. Every device we can activate and wipe is reset to factory settings, logged by serial and model and listed on your Certificate of Data Destruction. Read how we handle data security for the full process, and the four steps from quote to payment.
Condition grades, from working to parts-only
It powers on, works fully and the screen is unbroken. This is the best resale case and gets the best estimate.
The phone works but the screen is cracked or shows shadowing. We replace the screen and refurbish it, so cracked phones are still well worth sending.
A dead battery, a broken charging port or water damage are repairable faults. A refurbished repair is often worth more than the parts alone, so we judge each one on its own case.
A device that won't power on, has severe damage or is still locked keeps some value. Screens, batteries, frames and camera modules are the parts we recover.
Looking to buy rather than sell? We sell these too, wiped and tested.
