The quickest way to verify your Samsung model is to locate it in your phone’s settings menu.

On your phone, browse to Settings > About Phone to view your:

• Model name
• Model number
• Serial number
• IMEI number
• Hardware version

You can also access your phone details by using these steps:

• Open the Phone app
• Dial *#06# on the keypad
• Details about your devices IMEI and serial number will automatically appear on the screen

If your Samsung does not power on, check to see if the model number is printed on the back of the device.

You can identify your Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra carrier in the settings menu.

Browse to Settings > About Phone > Status > Network or Service Provider

* If your Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra doesn’t power on, your carrier name or logo might also be imprinted on the SIM card.

If your carrier is not listed, please select “Other”.

All carriers aside from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T fall under the “Other” classification.

If you are currently using a carrier other than the network it was originally locked to, you’ll need to select the original carrier when entering the details for your phone.

For example, if you purchased your phone from AT&T but then switched to another carrier such as Verizon, you’ll need to select “AT&T” for your device details so that you receive an accurate buyback quote.

To find your Samsung Galaxy S9 storage capacity navigate to:

Use the following condition descriptions to determine the best match for your Samsung Galaxy S9

* Please note that each store has a slightly different way of determining an item’s condition.

The true value of an Samsung Galaxy S9 depends on its condition and specifications like capacity and carrier. The most important factor will be the cosmetic and operational condition of your device. Of course, the better the condition the more money in your pocket, but the companies we search will even purchase broken devices!

Phone values depreciate by around 40% over one year, but that rate jumps to 75% over three years. At the same time, values for old Samsung models drop by 15% or more after a new flagship is released. That means you should sell as soon as possible to get the most money for your used Samsung.

Sending your phone to a Flipsy Trust Verified online buyback store is convenient since you’ll get a free printable shipping label and speed payments that are sent within 3 days of delivery. It's also worth mentioning that the buyback stores we search pay cash, not credit like carrier buyback programs which also offer 30% less comparatively.

Unfortunately, local selling options are limited in most areas.

The best option for selling your Samsung Galaxy S9 locally is to list it on a marketplace like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. This can be a good route for getting the most money for your Samsung, but be aware that there are several potential drawbacks which include:

• No guarantee of sale
• Fees can reduce profits (listing fees, selling fees, commissions, PayPal fees, etc.)
• Time-consuming listings with phone details, photos, etc.
• Sales can take a long time
• Potential for scams

Another consideration is a local buyback store or kiosk such as ecoATM. Although these offer the likelihood of a same-day payout, they don’t come without cons:

• Less money than other options
• Nearest store or kiosk could be far away
• Still no guarantee of sale
• Might offer store credit instead of cash

Lastly, most areas have brick & mortar carrier stores like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, but their trade-in programs often offer 30-50% less than your other options and they typically only offer store credit, not cash!
