With the Verizon iPhone and new Android models out on the market, in 2011 many consumers are looking to upgrade to new devices. In fact, according to a recent survey by Secure TradeIn, nearly 1 in 3 consumers (31 percent) planned to transition to the iPhone once it became available on other carriers.
When looking for an e-Cycler for your used cell phones, there are three things to keep in mind:
Make Trade In Hassle Free:
Secure TradeIn makes selling used cell phones for cash easy. Once consumers enter the make and model of their current phone, they receive an instant quote for the phone, and a free United States Postal Service shipping label to mail in the phone and any accessories.
Keep Data Secure:
Look for an e-cycler that guarantees 100 percent of the data from each used phone is safely removed. In addition to its own data removal process, Secure Tradein offers consumers the opportunity remove data themselves using the Phone Data Eraser®, a proprietary, step-by-step guide to data erasing. Removing the SIM card is an added precaution. A pioneer in data removal, the company has processed more than 50 million phones without incidence of compromised information since its 1991 inception.
Recycle Responsibly:
Finally, with Secure TradeIn’s zero landfill guarantee, consumers can be confident that their used phones and accessories are responsibly recycled when not refurbished or resold. In 2009 alone, Secure TradeIn recycled more than 945,000 pounds of materials, including technology items, paper, cardboard and plastic shipping materials.
