What’s the difference between the AT&T Business Trade-in and the Business Buyback programs?
If your company needs new phones, the AT&T Business Trade-in can be your best choice. We’ll provide an immediate quote for your old devices and apply that amount to your new devices.
Or, if you currently don’t need new devices, use the Business Buyback program. Simply send in your older devices to get credit applied to your business account for use on services, devices, and even accessories.
What do I need to do before shipping my phone to AT&T?
Before sending us your phone:
Remove all personal information
Remove SIM cards
Turn off Find My iPhone (iOS) in Settings
Remove all security and mobile device management (MDM) software such as MobileIron, Samsung Knox, and others
Please note: Your trade-in value may be reduced if features are not turned off.
