It is a New Year and you
may probably want to replace your smartphone you have been using for several
years. Beside this, you may need money to deal with an emergency or you may
just decide to get rid of your phone. Whatever the case maybe, you have to
prepare your phone for sale to get the best deal from the buyer. Jumia travel
shares some tips to prepare your smartphone for sale.
Backup
your smartphone
Phones can automatically
back up your data as far as they are connected to the internet. However, you should
still check to ensure that you backup all your pictures, videos, and other
important files before you sell your phone. With the backup, you can access
your data whenever you want. In addition, don’t forget to remove your SD card.
Delete
personal information
After backing up your
device, do not forget to delete your personal information from your phone.
Sensitive information like your ATM card details, contact numbers and emails
should be removed. This will prevent whoever is buying your smartphone from
using the information against you or to defraud Friends and family.
Find
out the value
The street value for
different phones depends on the brand. So, before you sell it, you should find
out the street value so that you don’t sell it at a giveaway price. This is
very important if you want to get the best price.
Where
do you want to sell your phone?
Do you want to sell your
phone online or offline? The most likely offline platform to sell your phone is
computer village in Ikeja where you will never get a good bargain. There are
also quite a number of online platforms where you can also sell it. So, you
have to weigh your options.
Clean
the device
A clean and neat
smartphone is likely to be bought quicker than an ugly looking one. You can use
white spirit to softly clean or wipe the phone.
Decide
what to do with the accessories
In Nigeria, fairly used
phones are never sold with accessories. But if you want more money, you may
include chargers, earphones, and cases. So, decide on what to do with the accessories.
