Device Trade-In, Buy-Back and Recycling

On average, consumers use the same phone for only 18 months before trading it in or upgrading to a new device, but mobile devices can remain functional for a long time after that. This sales cycle can create opportunities for wireless retailers, operators and manufacturers to generate revenue from pre-owned devices.

The strategic alliances Brightstar has formed through acquisitions and joint ventures give our customers access to trade-in/buyback, carrier –grade device recovery, refurbish and recycle programs. Through relationships with Flipswap Services® and eRecycling®, Brightstar provides end-users with peace of mind and a seamless experience, while reducing churn and increasing profitability for retailers and operators.

Utilizing Brightstar’s existing relationships and Flipswap’s proprietary buyback technology, we work with network operators and wireless retailers to collect, refurbish, and resell wireless handsets. We also work to recycle handsets that can’t be resold in an environmentally friendly manner.

Our device trade-in, buy-back and recycling services help to reduce “eWaste,” a particularly harmful form of pollution created from discarded consumer electronics.
