How do I send off my trade-in device?
Once your new device is sent, you will be sent a separate pre-paid packaging for your returns so that you can return your old device to Samsung for free.
Please note that this is not the returns packaging that you find in the delivery of your new device which has been provided in the event you wanted to return your new device.
What should I do before I send my old phone to trade in?
- Back up your files including photos and any other data and migrate any data you need to your new device
- Remove any your lock screen security (Biometrics/Password/Pin/Pattern)
- Remove your Google and Samsung Account
- Factory data reset the device to remove your personal information
- Remove your SIM and any memory cards
- Pack the device, (charger, the box and accessories if you have them) into the pre-paid packaging sent to you.
