We are a comparison site and save you time and hassle of finding the best price for your old phone by comparing more buyers than anyone else so you’re GUARANTEED to get the most money for your phone, tablet, & tech. On top of that, our comparisons are completely unbiased and unlike some sites we operate a minimum quality standard with all our buyers – some of whom are exclusive to SellCell. We also offer a Best Price Guarantee, which means if you do find a better price elsewhere (although it’s not very likely), we’ll refund you double the difference. SellCell only lists trusted buyers that have been vetted by our team, so you have the reassurance that you are dealing with a reputable buyer.

As well as being about to sell your phone at SellCell we offer users a comparison of brands that sell refurbished and pre-owned phones. We compare prices, user reviews, warranty terms, payment terms and any credit options available. At the touch of a button and in seconds, SellCell can help you to find a refurbished phone, tablet, smartwatch, game console or mac at a much better price than buying brand new. All our partners are reputable and trustworthy sellers and have been extensively vetted by the SellCell Team.
It is environmentally friendly to sell your phone at SellCell.com When you have selected a buyer on our site, you will be sent a shipping label to send your phone to the buyer. The buyer will then test the phone to check the condition and functionality of the phone prior to sending you your final payment offer. If you accept the offer the buyer will then either sell the phone in it’s existing condition or will refurbish the phone replacing any parts necessary to get it into sellable working order. If your phone cannot be resold and reused by someone else because it is very badly damaged it will be classed as ‘Beyond Economical Repair’ and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way so it doesn’t end up in a landfill site. Most of the phones are either sold in the US or sent for reuse in markets such as Asia, Africa, and India. Your old cell phone could give someone in the third world their first glimpse of the internet! Did you know that you cannot throw your old cell phone in the trash; not only is against the law, but it is harmful to the environment. Cell phones contain many dangerous persistent toxins that accumulate in the environment, including arsenic, antimony, lead, beryllium, copper, cadmium, nickel and zinc. Always ensure you recycle your cell phone through a professional organisation, like those listed on our site, to ensure they are disposed of correctly.

Every buyer featured on SellCell goes through a rigorous background check prior to being listed on our site. These checks include trading performance, financial responsiveness and also customer satisfaction checks. Part of this background check looks at customer experience. For every buyer, we look at the major review sites (BBB, Trustpilot, Reseller Ratings, Shopper Approved, Reviews.io etc.) and this gives us an independent overview of how the buyer performs. We also include this information in our price comparison so you can see for yourself how they rate. So rest assured, when you choose a buyer you can have peace of mind that they are a trustworthy company.

In the majority of cases cell phones can be resold. Most are resold in the US and some are sent to Asia, Africa and India.

Many phones are refurbished, restoring a phone to 100% working order, before being resold. If a phone cannot be repaired, then it is classified as ‘Beyond Economical Repair’.

Phones that are beyond economical repair are disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
