How do I pay for the trade in discount to avoid locking my phone?

[amrutaa]

Hello, I purchased a S23 ultra and opted for a trade in mode, but due to personal reasons I will not be able to trade in my phone. I want to pay for the trade in discount instead. They've given me a 72 hours warning before locking the phone. I mailed the trade in team but no response as of now. Let me know how to avoid my phone being locked and how to pay?

Hi @amrutaa 

They'll send you a link to use to pay the amount being asked for.

I think it was a company called MTR who sent the communication with the link.

You maybe able to phone them on 03332079676.

This happened when I traded in a phone and they found a stuck pixel so I had to pay a small amount back.

Hi, thanks. I've emailed them multiple times and I haven't received any link. My phone will be locked on Monday (today is Saturday)

Any idea how Ishould be able to speed it up?

@amrutaa: The terms and conditions state, in the event that you do not return your trade in device, that a sum equal to the discount you received will be automatically deducted from your payment card. As per the above, you may wish to reach out to MTR on t MTR on 0333 207 9676 or helpdesk@samsungrecycle.co.uk to make them aware that you will not be returning your existing device, to avoid any action being taken, such as remotely locking your Galaxy S23.
