Buying Phones

Have your old telephones bought back at an attractive and fair residual value

Want to trade in your old phones for cash?

Why buying used phones pays off

Buying old and used telephones is a smart and sustainable choice for companies that want to trade in their used devices for money. Whether it concerns smartphones, landlines, mobiles, VoIP telephones or a batch of old telephones: E-Waste Nederland arranges it professionally, quickly and fully certified. We are specialists in buy hardware.

Buying used phones offers several advantages for companies. First of all, it is a way to recover value from depreciated or redundant devices. An old smartphone or broken phone may seem worthless, but it can still generate money. Especially when you offer multiple devices of the same type.

In addition, buying contributes to sustainable entrepreneurship. A smartphone, for example, contains valuable raw materials such as gold, silver and copper. By correctly returning these devices, you prevent waste and support the circular economy.

Trade in your old phone for money

Handing in an old phone for money is easier than you think. Companies that offer their devices via E-Waste Nederland benefit from a transparent valuation and certified processing. The following applies: the newer and better the condition of the device, the higher the value. However, broken phones can still be worth money, depending on the parts that can be reused.

In addition, the more telephones or mobiles you hand in, the higher the proceeds are often. Multiple units of the same type are easier to re-market as a batch and are therefore worth more.

Please note: devices older than 4 to 5 years usually lose their market value. This does not mean they are worthless, but the compensation is often minimal or zero.

Phone Recycling

Are your devices too old or damaged to reuse? Then we provide environmentally friendly telephone recycling.

During the recycling process we naturally ensure a 100% secure data deletion.

Benefits of handing in old phones and tablets

Handing in old phones and tablets is a smart way for companies to earn back residual value and have electronic waste processed responsibly. By offering business-used devices, such as smartphones, landlines, mobile phones, tablets and VoIP devices, for purchase, you contribute to sustainable ICT solutions and reduce your environmental impact. In addition, you prevent valuable raw materials from being lost and you save on storage space.

Many companies choose to hand in all their old IT equipment at once. This is not only more efficient, but often also yields a higher return. Especially when it concerns multiple pieces of the same type or brand. You can think of iPhones, Samsung devices, Huawei smartphones, Cisco VoIP phones or Yealink devices.

Our working method for purchasing telephones

As a recognized and experienced ICT buyer, we have fully tailored our method of purchasing telephones to business customers. We offer a streamlined and transparent process. When purchasing telephones, we use a transparent process that is fully tailored to business customers. We start with an inventory of the devices: what type of devices are involved, what is the technical and cosmetic condition, and in what quantities are they available? Based on this, you will receive a proposal. 

Any transport costs will be discussed in advance and settled with the proceeds for small quantities. Large quantities can often be collected free of charge. You can also bring the devices yourself, by appointment, to our location in Bodegraven. After testing and checking, you will receive a comprehensive report and a certificate of data destruction. We will then transfer the residual value to your bank account.

Phone Valuation

The valuation of business telephones depends on several factors:

  • Age of the device: Phones older than 4 to 5 years usually have little to no residual value.

  • Technical condition: Working devices yield more than broken or defective phones.

  • Cosmetic condition: Damage to the housing or screen will affect the price.

  • Number of devices: Multiple pieces of the same type usually yield more.

  • Make and model: Phones from Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Nokia or Cisco often have different market values.

  • Any additional costs: consider transport or data destruction at your own location.

Frequently asked questions about buying and selling phones

Where is the best place to sell your phone?

For companies it is wise to sell phones to a certified business buyer such as E-Waste Nederland. We have a business approach with associated benefits: transparency, certification and a scale approach. So you not only sell a phone, but also arrange data deletion and responsible processing in one go.

Stores such as MediaMarkt and companies such as Swappie and verkoopmijntelefoon.nl focus primarily on consumers and always offer lower reimbursements.

Where can you turn in old phones for money?

Companies can turn in their old phones for money to recognized IT buyers. These hardware buyers are certified and so you can be sure that all company data is removed from the devices. Moreover, the yield is always higher.

Private individuals can turn to initiatives such as:

  • Cleverbuy
  • Swappie
  • GSMLoket
  • SellMyPhone.nl
  • Marketplace
  • Facebook Marketplace

How can you see how much your phone is worth?

The value of a phone depends on type, brand, condition, age and quantity. In addition, the movement in the market plays an important role. It is therefore difficult to say what the value of an old phone is. This can sometimes fluctuate per day.

At E-Waste Nederland we will send you a free valuation within 2 working days after your request. This preliminary proposal is based on current market prices and residual value estimates.

Do you also buy outdated or broken telephones?

Yes, you can also hand in old and broken phones to us. The compensation is often lower or zero, but you do benefit from responsible processing. Even if a phone is broken, it can still represent value. Think of parts such as screens, batteries or printed circuit boards that are still reusable.

Can I hand in my old phones and tablets together?

Yes, that is certainly possible. It is often more efficient and valuable to offer a batch of IT equipment at once. At E-Waste Nederland you can hand in all your business IT equipment and computer materials that are surplus, replaced, obsolete or written off for recycling.

What happens to the data on the phones?

Data destruction is included as standard with E-Waste Nederland when purchasing telephones. We use certified methods, including Blancco software, to completely remove all data. You will always receive a destruction certificate that complies with GDPR guidelines. This allows you to demonstrate that you, as an organization, act safely and responsibly.

Are old phones worth money?

Yes, old phones are worth money! Especially recent models and devices in good condition can yield an attractive compensation. Even broken phones can still have value, for example for parts or recycling.
