• Serial number
• IMEI number
• Hardware version

• 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 Phone Ultra carrier in the settings menu.

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

* If your Samsung Phone 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.

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

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

The true value of an Samsung Phone 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.

You could also list it on a marketplace like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, but be aware of 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 option to consider is a kiosk like ecoATM. While these offer the convenience of same-day payouts, they don’t come without downsides:

• Lower payouts compared to other selling options
• The nearest kiosk may not be nearby
• No guarantee your device will be accepted

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!
