If your used cell phone is an iPhone 2G, 3G, or 3Gs, find the SIM card tray that
is located at the top edge of the casing. This will be in the middle of
the power button and headphone jack.
If your used cell phone is an iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C or an Android device, you will find the tray at the right edge of the casing. Use a removal tool specifically for SIM cards to gently pry the tray from the body of the iPhone. You also can use a straightened paper clip for this purpose. Take the card out and reinsert the tray, making sure it is secure and flush with its casing.

A iphone should be prepared in the following ways before you send it to Cell4Sell:
- Unlock the iphone through the carrier
- Choose the appropriate type of offer, if you plan on unlocking it or it is already unlocked. more info
- Deactivate service
- Turn off iphone Tracking (also called Samsung Reactivation Lock, Find My iphone, etc.) and remove the password
- This may restrict your iphone, keeping us from doing an inspection. If it is an Apple iphone, select “off” in the iCloud settings menu. If it is a used cell phone, check out the Security settings. more info

The Find My iPhone feature is activated automatically with iOS7 for the
iPod Touch, iPads, and iPhones. Other people will not be able to
activate the used cell phone. Also, it means that Cell4Sell will not be able to
locate a new owner for this device. Cell4Sell will be unable to offer
the full trade-in value for your devices that have Find My iPhone
enabled. The exception is if you were to deactivate the feature in your
iCloud account.
It is possible for us to clear your device, even with this turned on. Here’s how:
Please Note: If you are in possession of your iPhone, you will be able to turn off the Find My iPhone feature directly from the “Settings” menu. If you are unable to take it off of your iCloud account, please reach out to us for assistance.

We make it a point to not buy any used cell phone that have been reported stolen or lost at the time of the transaction. We always attempt to identify owners of stolen or lost devices that we come across. If your own used phones potentially has been stolen or is lost, be sure that you report it to your local police and/or service provider. That way, they can make sure that it is not activated by a new user.
The majority of used cell phones for sale may be locked remotely, as well as erased. This will help to keep your information secure. You even can place a message on the phone’s lock screen with your contact number in case someone locates your used phones, in many cases.
In the case of iPhones, you will be able to go through the Find My iPhone feature if you have it enabled. This tool allows you to lock the phone and include a phone number on the screen.
When we get an item that is locked and includes contact information, we contact the owner to initiate a return of the item. For your protection, we will ask for information that will verify you are the actual owner. After confirmation that you are the owner, we will send the item to you free of charge.

No, Cell4Sell will not purchase any used cell phone that have been reported as being stolen or lost.
We go through CheckMEND, which is a state-of-the-art tool with information from law enforcement, carriers and insurance companies in order to find out whether a used cell phone has been reported stolen or lost.
This innovative tool was created to help detect possibly stolen used cell phone with more accuracy. It was designed by Recipero, which is the largest consumer used cell phone background reporting service in the United States. This tool gathers data from the law enforcement, insurance companies and major wireless carriers throughout the US to offer a full database of stolen or lost used cell phone. We will always submit to helping law enforcement with the investigation of stolen used cell phone. We make a record of each device’s electronic serial number, to allow us to have a trail for items that come up under inquiry.used cell phones that come to us all undergo a data wipe process, regardless of their status. Our process requires that our customers confirm that the used cell phone they offer as a trade-in is their own to sell, and that it has not been reported as being stolen or lost. We like to remind our customers regularly during the process that we will not accept any used cell phone that are reported as stolen or lost.
When you sell a used cell phone to Cell4Sell, you should have it charged fully since the inspection process will be faster this way. You will not need to send anything else.
Please note: If you send any accessories (such as charger or earbuds), know that most of the time they cannot be returned to you. As a sanitary measure, we throw them out or recycle them before inspection.
