Pre-quote checklist

Find your IMEI or serial in 10 seconds

Required for phones and tablets. We use this to verify the device isn't blacklisted, lost or stolen before posting.

  1. 1

    Dial *#06#

    Open your phone keypad and type *#06#. Your IMEI appears immediately on screen - write it down or screenshot.

  2. 2

    Settings - About

    iPhone: Settings - General - About. Android: Settings - About phone - Status. Scroll to IMEI. Mac/iPad: System Settings - General - About.

  3. 3

    Original box or receipt

    Still have the packaging? IMEI is printed on the box barcode label and on the carrier purchase receipt.

Note: Make sure the IMEI is not blacklisted — devices reported lost or stolen cannot be sold. Check yours here.

Data safety

Your data, wiped properly

Factory reset is just the first step. Every device is wiped to manufacturer spec at our warehouse before resale or recycling.

  • Manufacturer-grade factory reset

    We follow Apple, Samsung and Google reset procedures so no traces of accounts, files or apps remain on the device.

  • Nothing inspected, nothing on-sold

    We never extract, examine, view or on-sell your personal data. Devices are wiped immediately upon arrival, before any technician touches them.

  • Certificate of destruction on request

    Faulty devices that cannot be reset are physically destroyed at a certified e-waste partner. Certificate of destruction emailed within 7 days.

  • Recycled responsibly, not landfilled

    Devices we cannot refurbish are stripped for parts and sent to certified Australian e-waste partners. Zero landfill commitment.
