The second-hand mobile market moves within several possibilities. On the one hand, we will have the option of going to marketing between individuals, which generally tend to generate the best offers. However, many users prefer not to have to deal with other people, and go to portals to buy used terminals. However, mobile operators in our country have also been encouraged to collect used mobiles for some time. Orange is one of these operators, since it will make us good or not so good offers for our used mobile.
It is common that when a new generation is launched, many users want to get rid of their current mobile to try all the news of the most current terminals. The purchase websites or services such as “We buy your mobile” from Orange, offer security in the payment and avoid the complications that mediation between individuals sometimes entails, however, the offers that we will achieve through our remote mobile will be far from other options .
How is a mobile sold in Orange?
Choose the model
Selling a mobile phone in Orange is very simple, but we will have to follow some specific steps and provide certain information, in order to access the appraisal of our device. The first thing we will have to do will be on the Orange website enabled to offer this service. Once inside , we will have to use the application drawer to select our mobile model . In case of not finding it in the list, it will mean that the operator does not make any offer for the device model that we have. The reasons may be that it is a too old terminal, although there are also other reasons such as that it is an import model that has not officially gone on sale in Spain.
Once done, we will see an initial and estimated appraisal of our mobile. In the example, we see that Orange pays up to 248 euros to deliver a Galaxy S10 of 128 GB in perfect condition. This offer may or may not be worth it depending on each user. But without a doubt, we will find some offers that are not worth the process, such as the test we have done with a Huawei P Smart 2019, for which we can only get 3 euros (yes, three euros) with this service.
Enter the IMEI and fill in the data
If the initial estimated offer is to our liking, we can continue with the process. In order to continue and unlike other similar services, Orange will ask us for the IMEI number of our mobile. We can access it by pressing * # 06 # on the telephone dialer. Once done, we can access the response process on the status of our device. Orange will ask us if the phone turns on, if it has a broken screen or if it shows marks such as bumps on the screen or the body of the device.
The Orange Notice
In the event that our mobile phone is in perfect condition, a warning will appear, indicating that if the actual condition of the device does not correspond to what was stated in the questionnaire, a Discrepancy could be generated in the sale, which could allow Orange void the sale.
Last steps
Once we have finished answering the questions about the status of the mobile, we will receive the most accurate assessment of the mobile. Next we will have to fill in our personal data including the address where the device will be collected. The last step is to configure the payment method, among which we can choose a discount coupon for the amount of the valuation and exchangeable at the Orange point of sale, or payment by transfer within 24 hours after the company has received and verified our device.
