How to Trade Your Mobile Phone in Before the Contract Date With
No Penalty
By Drewanne M. Goode

Is there a new mobile phone on the market that you simply can't
wait to have? The challenge is, if you are at present in the
middle of your 2-year wireless contract, you aren't yet
qualified for a cost-free upgrade. This means that if you are
determined to own your new toy right away, you will have to
break the contract and pay a penalty. Depending of the wireless
carrier you're using, this penalty might be $200 or even more.

The good news is you can still get your greedy little hands on
the new mobile phone now without losing a good deal of money in
the process. Doing so includes a two-part process.

Break your contract and pay the penalty to get your new
cellular phone? You're likely asking yourself, "Pay 'The Man?' I
thought I wasn't supposed to pay a penalty." Don't worry --
you'll get the majority or all of your cash back in the end and
perhaps even generate a profit.

After you acquire your new phone and no longer require your
previous one, sell your previous smartphone to an online
electronics recycling service like SellMyElectronics.com. You
can obtain a quote online in seconds. Simply describe the phone
by answering a few short questions about the device's latest
model, features and condition. Remember that you can sell your
phone for a better price if you still have the associated
accessories (including charger, USB cable and manuals).

After you submit this information, you'll get your offer
immediately. After you accept an offer, a shipping box along
with a pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label will be sent to
you. Prior to mailing off your old smartphone, don't forget to
eliminate any personal data, such as your contacts and old
messages. You can easily achieve this by resetting your phone to
its factory settings.

Once your mobile phone is received, it will be examined to
ensure everything is as you described it. You might receive a
modified offer depending on the condition of your device. The
final step: You'll receive payment for your cell phone by check
or through PayPal a few days later. Straightforward, right?

In the end you'll have the smartphone you have been lusting
after without waiting for the contract to expire and without
guilt because you haven't lost your shirt in the process and you
can be assured that your old phone will find a new home or be
recycled.

After buying consumer electronics, responsible recycling
companies evaluate the devices' condition, and those devices in
working condition are offered for sale through a variety of
outlets. Any private data is removed first from all electronics
resold. Any items with no market value are recycled responsibly.

According to the EPA, US consumers discard close to two million
tons of consumer electronics each year, ending up as mountains
of "e-waste" in landfills. Recycling begins with reuse and
reselling your secondhand consumer electronics will ensure they
stay away from landfills.
